If you are feeling sad and hopeless that is completely understandable, but it's also a luxury we can't afford right now. Here's a list of some great organisations helping on the ground, just as a handy guide:

i know there are apps/websites that will do this for you (and track progress) but that involves me going to that website every day and i am bound by fate to forget to check it so i need a visual (tangible) alternative!! thx 🫶🏼

[tessa 🍊 @tafwrites]

trying to set (realistic) weekly word goals for myself, but i’m a visual person so it needs to be IN MY FACE for me to remember; does anyone have any ideas on how to visualize this tangibly in my space? post-its, maybe? a giant calendar?

[toni ✨ @t0nischwartz]

idk who needs to hear this but you and your content matter. there's someone out there who look forward to the content you post. you might not get 1,000 likes but you could get 5 from people who care. never stop creating, even if it feels like you're shouting into the void. 🫶🏻

thought i was going to write my romcom in first person but i’ve been reading so much third person recently that now i’m considering a Switch … i’m sick of me

Genuinely need y’all to fully understand the pain in his voice. That is generational trauma speaking. The Jewish holocaust survivors & their families are witnessing yet another genocide, only this time it’s being done in their name. I can only imagine the pain there

It’s just that an iced latte with bagel breakfast hits different ✨✨

just a reminder that your worth as a writer and, more importantly, as a human being is in no way tied to what you’ve published, where you’ve published, how much you’ve published, or if you’ve published at all.

[Jack Edwards @jackbenedwards]

book twitter once it realises you're allowed to have different opinions about the books you read without having to do a character assassination on someone you've never met simply because they have a different opinion to you about an emily henry novel

[wen-yi lee 🦋 @wenyilee_]

queer book lists, asian book lists;; for my new year recs, here are some books that are queer *and* asian upcoming in 2024 that i'm excited about! from romance to contemporary to SFF to essays🧵📚

[tessa 🍊 @tafwrites]

bringing this back as we embark into 2024 to remind myself that writing fantasy is Not a good idea (even if i’m reconsidering it now)

[tessa 🍊 @tafwrites]

my other toxic trait is thinking i could write fantasy when, in actuality, i could Not do that even if my life depended on it

[tessa 🍊 @tafwrites]

talk about delulu

[tessa 🍊 @tafwrites]

i’m brave enough to admit that i just spent the last hour listening to music and imagining what fan edits someone might make on tiktok about my characters someday
