my two writing moods
(1) I want to write absolutely EVERYTHING, let me invent a new wip real quick, the spark of inspiration is HERE, I have 9 docs open let's go.
(2) what if I write solely in my head while laying gently on the carpet for the rest of forever
You: Guess what? I'm going to (insert something amazing here)!
Them: You can't do that! No one's ever done that before.
You: Well, I guess I'll be the first then...

Can we (creative community) stop pushing this "team no no sleep" agenda???
You can hustle, get to the bag and more and STILL get your 8 hours of sleep. I promise you lol
I hate these "Never, ever do X!" writing rules. Your prologue might be amazing! An adverb might be the exact right word to use in that sentence. Just write your book the best, most beautiful, you-est way possible.
Super proud of my sister @AngelaIRL for all her hard work!! I'm so excited to see her get the recognition she deserves. She is a force to be reckoned with and I can't wait to see what God has for her next. Love you sis! #blackgirlmagic#Brandweek2019
Why you should hire black women for social :
You're looking at a group photo of GSDM.. the marketing agency that did the digital strategy for @PopeyesChicken.
The girl circled is responsible for the tweet that set the brand on fire with over 3B impressions.
Black authors and our books for kids & teens have grown. I'm so happy to see books being published in all genres. We're bestsellers with growing audiences! The industry can't say these books don't sell. Because they do *especially* with support! It's not a trend, it's the future.

WRITER BIG SISTER ADVICE:
As a writer your book is going be loved by a lot of people, disliked by a lot of people, and yes, even ignored.
It's NOT your job to please everyone.
It's your job to write a book you're proud of.
That's it.

YES! THIS! By far the best thing I've done for my writing and social life lol. It took me years to find the right critique group, but it was absolutely worth the wait. Shout out to @doreeweller, @MaryAOsteen and @jenpeterson34 for all your support. Y'all are the best 😊
