“A writer worth his salt writes to please himself.” -Harper Lee

Remember #WritingCommunity, it does not matter what other people like. It only matters what we approve of.

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

In case we lost track today is Sunday which would normally be the day we lay around the couch and pretend to write all day if we hadn’t been doing that exact same thing every day for the last two weeks. #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #finallygonnastartthisnovel

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

Remember to write at least five thousand words a day while sheltering in place. This is when we find out if we truly belong in the #writingcommunity #amwriting

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

@AngelaInGeneral Guess we’ll find out who the real authors are now!

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

Is #PitMad still happening or did we call it off because of the Virus?

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

Will definitely be going to #AWP20. Will definitely not be tweeting. Busy making connections with people you don’t have access to. #amwriting

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

@43BlueDoors Sounds like someone doesn’t want to be a part of the #WritingCommunity. Consider this your first written warning.

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

To be clear, we disapprove of fiction authors writing characters with whom they have no shared experiences, and we are our outraged on behalf of members of the #writerscommunity with whom we have no shared experiences. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amoutraged #AmericanDirt

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

True writers are up at 5AM writing even on a Sunday so don’t even think of yourself as a member of the #WritingCommunity unless you’ve already put in at least a couple thousand words today.

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

Clearly Mister Todd here has no understanding of what the #WritingCommnunity is. How will anybody know who the good writers are if we don’t publicly and mysteriously disapprove of the ones getting too excited about finally achieving their life’s dream?

[todd dillard @toddedillard]

if you're the kind of person who attacks, mocks, or subtweets people who celebrate their acceptances, for your own sake you should unfollow me, I plan on being happy and loud and successful this year

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

This is why you don’t want to be on the wrong side of the #WritingCommunity. It’s probably more important than the quality of your manuscript. #amwriting

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

This is the problem with twitter. Always someone who wants to turn a serious conversation into a joke. We don’t joke about serious social issues in the #WritingCommunity. In fact, we don’t have fun at all.

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

And what better way to ignore something than by continuing to think and tweet about it for weeks! #amreading #amwriting #amignoring

[Alexandra Schwartz @Alex_Lily]

be like me: ignore American Dirt and read Sentimental Education, a book about our time that happens to have been published in 1869

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

Excellent reminder in case we forgot we’re supposed to hate this woman. Remember #WritingCommunity, we only blindly validate and support #FellowWriters who are less than successful than we are. That’s what gives the hierarchy its structure. #amwriting #amsupporting

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

This is just to say that @zero0jack is dismissed from the #WritingCommunity for attempting to question the validity of “the own voices thing” and disrespecting all the #FellowWriters who have worked so hard to promote diversity by only writing characters exactly like themselves.

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

As leaders of the #WritingCommunity, we fully endorse this model.

(Also, please submit to our LitMag)

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

Well do you want to be a successful writer or do you want to be part of the #writerscommunity. Why would you think this is about supporting #FellowWriters ?

[William F. Aicher ✍️🎥 @WFAicher]

I see my tweets today questioning why I should continue writing even if very few people will ever read my work were enough to get a few hundred people to unfollow me so far.

Thanks for the support, #WritingCommunity.

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

Yes, Lauren. Grovel.

[Lauren Groff @legroff]

@blgtylr I am definitely the fool.

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

These are the laws of the writing community. Break them and be forgotten by our #FellowWriters. So let it be written. So let it be done.

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

Here’s what the #WritingCommunity needs to remember about American Dirt. We don’t judge books on the merit of the writing, but on whether or not we approve of them being written. No, it doesn’t matter if we’ve read the book. How could that possibly be relevant?

[the writing community @writingcomunity]

(Basically, everyone gets one autobiographical novel, or possibly a handful of short stories set in our first work environment.)
