I've lately seen folks on here say they've felt guilty for getting books (mine and other authors) from the library, or people insinuating some authors might be against libraries. This is nonsense, and here's a thread on how using your local library supports authors.

@CassThomps13 Looks beautiful to me. Of course, I live in Canada 🤷🏻‍♂️

[LitWorld @LitWorldevents]

@authorcfturner Agreed, my friend.

[LitWorld @LitWorldevents]

@ladyxesphio Is it a time issue?

I'm a former insomniac who taught myself to sleep using Sasha Stephens' The Effortless Sleep Method.

May help, if that's where you're at.

[LitWorld @LitWorldevents]

Our founder wrote a blog that hopefully some of you find helpful. Enjoy!

[LitWorld @LitWorldevents]

@MarcusCVance Kinda crazy. Isn't the whole reason we all love this so much that it can touch our emotions and make us see things in different ways?

[LitWorld @LitWorldevents]

@diana_wingo I mean, you can find some great advice at https://t.co/S1mSJLAeUQ 😉

But,
1.) Set a daily word count goal and stick to it
2.) Learn the craft (join the community)
3.) Share your work and get feedback
4.) Don't take criticism personally

You got this!

[LitWorld @LitWorldevents]

@ladyxesphio Lots of great responses here but I'll go with "gored by a bull" 🤪😂

[LitWorld @LitWorldevents]

@MarcusCVance Had a similar issue with a novel that's been put aside at the moment.

I made it chapter 1, but the chapter kept expanding as beta readers felt they needed to understand what happened to the character better. And it still didn't really work.

So I'd recommend flashbacks/memories.

They say "to be a good writer you have to write a lot and read a lot."

The writing because you have to practice AND have product available.

The reading because you can absorb the powers of every single author and become more powerful than mortals dare imagine

[LitWorld @LitWorldevents]

I should be writing 🤦🏻‍♂️

[LitWorld @LitWorldevents]

@AgathaChocolats "Best day ever!" thought Fluffy.

[LitWorld @LitWorldevents]

@neilhimself When his editor told him he needed to "make a few cuts" this was not what she had in mind...

[LitWorld @LitWorldevents]

Almost always.

Do the scenes you write play out in your head before you write them?
