Couldn't find a meme for it, but I accidentally named two characters the same thing, and now I have to change one. #FML #writersoftwitter #writerslife #writer

[Miguel Maestas @Mmaestasauthor]

Consistency is tough when it comes to things that you aren't paid for...
Anyway, I am giving myself deadlines.
NEW STORY COMING JULY 1ST!!!

Something I love about writing first drafts is when I use the speech to text method and I can really get into speaking as a character primarily when a character is the narrator. Never wanna be an actor though lol

I just published my 4th ss on my site, https://t.co/7i9s830RCF!
The strange journey of a young woman as she flees from her mistakes. Omens, creatures, and the unrelenting wrath of her parents. Can she find a new home or will she just run out of breath?https://t.co/WgPjXAhAq3

Finding a new job is a full time job in of itself. So rn I'm working, looking for a new job, and trying to be a writer.. Does that count as three jobs? Can I put that on my resume?

[Miguel Maestas @Mmaestasauthor]

@chxryoung Way back I used to use Microsoft Word for prose and final draft for scripts and now I am on Google Docs for prose and Celtx for scripts and then notes app or a physical journal for notes

@soogz1 hi

[Miguel Maestas @Mmaestasauthor]

Took a break from writing to deal with mental health issues and grieving. Kinda counterintuitive due to how writing is one of the things that cheers me up...

[Miguel Maestas @Mmaestasauthor]

I'm tired... how do you guys keep going after tragedy and abuse?

[Miguel Maestas @Mmaestasauthor]

@bybridgettev 28 year old writer here. No grays yet but everyone keeps telling me how much my hair is thinning in the front 😭

[Miguel Maestas @Mmaestasauthor]

@SusanSavageLee1 I have read very few prologues so idk but my noir-comedy it is a stream of consciousness therapy journal entry immediately before ch 1. My 1st person scifi about a clone’s prologue is the 3rd person death of the person who he is a template for 🤷🏻‍♂️. Hard to explain on this lol

@CidneyMayes I go to https://t.co/TqUKkhPO3D a lot or pull from history books or (i cant find it anymore) when i was helping out at a senior center the list that was registered with us for food had some really cool names mainly Spanish

[Miguel Maestas @Mmaestasauthor]

Does anybody else have trouble writing when they have chores and errands? #writersoftwitter #writerslife #writingcommmunity

[Miguel Maestas @Mmaestasauthor]

@Nickyshearsby22 I like to write all of them. Even short scripts, feature length, and tv pilots. It’s just however the story speaks to w.
