The number one question I get - NUMBER ONE - is where to find people to read your work once it’s done so you can make it better. The people in this thread want to read you and find readers for their work. Go find them!

@detective_files Think of the worst book you've ever read or tried to read. That got published. Someone got paid for that. You can easily do better than that, right? Of course you can.

👇But Cargill, what can I do to get into the business?👇

Hey! Let's do another WRITERS WHO WANT TO BE READ THREAD.

Starting is the hardest part.

If you haven't started yet, just fucking start. As close to the ending as possible. Just write that first sentence - it can be anything. You're gonna change it later, anyway. Write a garbage sentence? Paragraph? Fix it later.

Just keep writing.

Helllooo #Writers,

I’m curious, how many times did you edit your book before you felt it was ready for publication?! 🤔✍🏼

Please meet our new foster girl, Miss Ella, named after Ella Fitzgerald. @sunnyozell and I haven’t heard her sing, but she has a very pretty bark. She’s about seven years young, and as sweet as the day is long. Thanks as always to @wagsandwalks for this lovely experience.

QUESTION FOR WRITERS:

How often do you write? How much time do you try to dedicate a day, or week, or month? Grant me insight into the wild terrain that is your mind. Let me walk the paths of your strange creative gardens. Help me prove a point.
