This past week, my book hit the NYT bestseller list. It is the single biggest accomplishment of my career--and here's why it almost didn't happen:

[Michael Scott Author @flamelauthor]

@Scott_Thought Huge fan of the Nyxia series. Ordering "Door" right now. But you've given away the secret of writing: "The only thing I could control, in the whole process, was writing the best possible book that I could."

[Alexander Pennington @Authoralexp]

The ultimate sign that someone is a writer is when they have an amazing idea they’re really excited about, and then spend months not writing it.

[Alexander Pennington @Authoralexp]

If you’re struggling right now and doubting whether you will ever succeed, just remember that you’re not alone. Every author you love began as a struggling writer. You can do this. You can succeed. You just have to keep moving forward. Believe in yourself, because you can succeed

WRITERS! Stop devaluing yourselves:

-Your ideas are good
-Every time you write or read or even daydream, you get better
-There's a reason MOST people are not writers
-Your story deserves to be read, don't be afraid to query
-You're doing enough, give yourself a break sometimes

How to call out every writer at once:

[Writing & Editing @WrtrStat]

"Writing a book changes you. Even reading a book changes you. Most authors are targeted towards finishing a book, which is always key. But I'd say the journey of writing a book is just as important." -Wrtr #amwriting #amediting Be #Writing.

The support I received yesterday on my release was ASTOUNDING!! I appreciate you all SO much!! Thank you for being so kind. 🙏🏻

And I can’t believe the reviews coming in!! 28 on Amazon & 87 on Goodreads already. It’s a dream that people are reading my book!! 🩰🔪🩰

"You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write." - Annie Proulx #amwriting #amediting #Writing.

I would rather buy you a copy of the book you are staring at on my bookshelf than let you borrow it.

@DorianHart I would happily higher her if I ever get a book published! She’s going to go far with that talent

@chamomeriam “Have you ever wondered what happens when people will go to any lengths to steal powers you never wanted in the first place?

You shouldn’t.”

#Writing a novel really is like improvisation in every chapter. Every day. It's like acting out your characters and what happens to them. -Wrtr #amwriting Keep Writing.

[Taya C Finch @tayacfinch]

@brclothwrites Either a leopard or a pine marten — or both if they could get along!
