[Frank Scozzari @ScozzariFrank]

Talent is extremely common. What is rare is the willingness to endure the life of the writer.

@jennhockley Yeah, I look at it very similarly. I'm currently working on my third manuscript and have yet to feel like any of them are good enough to try to get published. But that's not really the point for me anymore either. I just love making up people and things for them to do.

@jennhockley One of the universal experiences for writers is being told that we won't make money. I basically did the same thing and said F it. I love writing. That's what I'm going to do. If I make money, great. If not, at least I did it.

I was at the library today, and pulled out a book about "how to write a novel."

I then shelved that shit. I don't need to be reading any more books like that with the same info.

What I need to do is just pump out this first draft. No more messing around.

[J.L.Haskell @JHaskellWrites]

@Metgrrl So does yours, I look forward to reading it when you finish :)

[J.L.Haskell @JHaskellWrites]

1) Secret cities
2) Forgotten tongues
3) Gods
4) Madness
5) Blood

Thanks @Metgrrl for the great post idea!

WAYS WE DESCRIBE OUR MANUSCRIPTS
1) this is my heart and soul and am fiercely proud
2) bit like a tipped over tin of alphabet soup
3) my smudgy son, do not shout at it, it has anxiety
4) raw potential! could be genius or terrible! it's a surprise!!
5) cute typo doing its best

She looked upon the ruins of their burned house. The smoldering skeleton holding his secrets, and she walked through it trying to find something she recognized.

His face, perhaps

His promises.

Writing a novel can be an act of blind faith. Take the leap. Write the novel. Believe in yourself. Keep writing. -Wrtr #amwriting #amediting

@MarcusCVance Thank you

[J.L.Haskell @JHaskellWrites]

Out of curiosity, how many of you go the traditional publishing route vs. self-publishing?

@CtinaAlvarado I've been on a kick of rereading books I read as a teen and don't remember very well. ATM I'm rereading Bag of Bones by Stephen King.
