Finally started writing my novel. Writing every day until it's done. Every Single Day. It might be 1 word, or 100 words, but I'll write.

@SIXOFHAYA One year I had a goal to read 1 book a week, and all my momentum got killed by one bad book, well 3 bad books really, couldn't finish the trilogy. First two in the trilogy were one decent book with garbage sandwiched in the middle.

Stop crashing out about your word count. My YA fantasy got me an agent at 110k words, then a book deal at 97k, and after editing with my editors, the final word count is 120k.

Well, a family member not so subtly implied this author thing probably isn't going anywhere.

My response: "Meh."

My thoughts: *You may be right, but now I'll die trying to prove you wrong. Thanks for the motivation.*

A little spite will take you places (I hope 😅).

#Writing tip: If you write, you are a writer. So just write. Do not be afraid.

[WorldsSlowestWriter @SlowestWriter]

When writing, don't think about your setting as just a place, but what it means to your character, his mood, personality and so on. Also what does it mean to the plot? What details will emphasize or foreshadow?

[WorldsSlowestWriter @SlowestWriter]

How many words have you written today?

[WorldsSlowestWriter @SlowestWriter]

@PublishingPush I've bought at least one from an author I followed on twitter. And an entire series of books from a facebook post. Then others have been things like recommendations in podcasts or recommended by friends.

@goodreads Time traveling, a clever plot and isn't clunky to read. Also the time traveling can't retcon the heroes struggles.

[WorldsSlowestWriter @SlowestWriter]

Remember good people do bad things, and bad people do good things. If the only flaws for good characters that you allow are 'acceptable' flaws, they aren't really flaws.

[WorldsSlowestWriter @SlowestWriter]

We all need to outline. Whether you do it before or after your first draft is up to you.

[WorldsSlowestWriter @SlowestWriter]

Don't stress that your story might have some flaws. Just write. Even your favorite author/book has flaws. What is the biggest flaw in your favorite book?

[WorldsSlowestWriter @SlowestWriter]

Writing Tip: The page is only blank until you put the first word down, so get that first word written. Pick it at random if you must. Just put it on the page. In fact, here are a couple you can go with "Insufferable", "Poignant", "Tragic" or "Liar".

Tension isn't always about creating the biggest problem. It's about creating the biggest Persistent problem. It needs to be closely related to the goal and it needs to fit the genre you are writing. Adding a serial killer to a romance adds tension, but quickly changes the genre.

[WorldsSlowestWriter @SlowestWriter]

Don't be afraid of writing something bad. That is what editing is for. Just write.

[WorldsSlowestWriter @SlowestWriter]

Don't forget to write today.

[WorldsSlowestWriter @SlowestWriter]

If you write 100 words every day, you can finish a 100k novel in just 3 years. If you write 33 words a day, you can still finish that novel in less time than George R R Martin has taken on Winds of Winter. BTW this tweet is more than 33 words long.

Picked up a couple notebooks on the way home from work. #favoriteColor
