Hello hello hello! And welcome...

Why writers need to KEEP WRITING:

-You ARE getting better
-If you keep writing you will get published
-You only fail when you stop trying to succeed
-There's no time limit on getting published
-Remember how far you've come
-Every sentence you write gets you closer to publication

@DarianneSchramm I have them on multiple drives, and printed...so I'll always have the bones. But yes! I would...

@faera_lane Are you allergic or unable to digest? I can't digest onions... anymore.

[🖤B.A.Rios🖤 @rios_writes]

Looking for writing buddies! I read most things. I have a newfound love for cozy mysteries & horror crossovers. I write & read mostly fantasy...

I've been writing forever, but seriously for 4 or 5 years. Trying to publish in the next year...

Just need people to talk to...

[🖤B.A.Rios🖤 @rios_writes]

@faera_lane I've been eyeing one too! Right now it's just sunhats....

[🖤B.A.Rios🖤 @rios_writes]

Goal 2 complete!

I finished printing them, and started reading them. But then the night got away from me...

To add to this, I also:

- love to make last names into first names
- enjoy splitting a single name into a first and last name
- use nicknames instead of real names
- take existing names and add/subtract letters till it resembles something I like

[🖤B.A.Rios🖤 @rios_writes]

I saw a post about finding names & wanted to share how I find names!

- read the names of people at the end of movies, TV shows, ect
- baby books or baby name sites
- my own heritage or family tree
- names in other works of fiction, often reworked

Today I'm watching the new season of #TheGoodWitch!

I'm not sure if comp titles can include shows, but this would definitely be one of mine for #WitchyWIP #CovenCometh!

@Keycapsblog I'm totally a pantser!

But, I like to outline after writing the first draft.

[🖤B.A.Rios🖤 @rios_writes]

Spent my "lunch break" on #WitchyWIP #CovenCometh today...

I've got only a couple more things to do for Ch 1 prep! Including, the descriptive paragraph...

And, then I can move on!

#AmWriting #AuthorLife #WritingCommunity

[🖤B.A.Rios🖤 @rios_writes]

@Keycapsblog Basically, it's just an advance write up to help me when I'm writing the whole chapter...

Since my outline doesn't quite give all the details in order, and I tend to collect bits of dialogue from the first fast draft in it...

[🖤B.A.Rios🖤 @rios_writes]

I got in over 2 hrs of work on #WitchyWIP #CovenCometh today...

I'm working on the 2nd draft of this, so:

- researched a bunch of small details that were missing from the 1st draft
- re outlining the chapters & adding the details
- writing paragraph despriptions
