@jess_a_turnbull @mermaeids Exactly the same!

[Jess Bennett @writingjess]

How many of my fellow writers have abandoned a wip more than halfway in? Stuck and second guessing myself #amwriting #writerslife

If you are writing a first draft right now & have found yourself obsessing over the 1st few chapters cus they have to be PERFECT, here is a message from someone who’s editing. Move on. Those chapters will never be perfect. You don’t even know your characters yet. Rewrite later

#WritingCommunity Do you find time to read? I struggle with it when I’m writing.

[Jo V. Lande (On hiatus) @JoVLande]

It's kind of awkward being a writer when you have nothing to show for it yet.

[Mackenzie Reed @mackenziemreed]

RIP to everyone that does their day job on their laptop and knows their WIP is one tab away but can't work on it. It's a special kind of agony

[Jess Bennett @writingjess]

Does anyone else ever find themselves using the thesaurus to look up the easier, more common version of the long word you want to use?

[Laura Lavoie @llavoieauthor]

Being a writer is screaming "Please somebody like me!" into the void until you get an agent, doing it again until an editor acquires your 1st book, & again for people to buy the book, & basically forever on an infinity loop each time you go out on sub. I don't make the rules.

[Alexandra Levick @AllieLevick]

My kingdom for publishing to stop depending on comp titles.

[Jess Bennett @writingjess]

@TAMillennial Ooh I will check that out! Thx!!

[Jess Bennett @writingjess]

#WritingCommunity #amwriting Need a new writing playlist suggestion or two! Writing #YA #fantasy... love folksy indie stuff, epic instrumental and soft stuff that doesn't distract me too much. Ideas pls!

[emma lord @dilemmalord]

figuring out the boundary between millennials and gen z is easy. put on snow patrol's "chasing cars" and wait .2 seconds and you'll know

[Tanya Goode @goode6_goode]

Can we all just agree that writing is unilaterally the best worst decision we all ever made?

[Melissa Hunter @himelissahunter]

If you are lucky enough to have a creative career, the two phases of employment are: “I am so busy, I am a shell of a human” and “I will never have a job ever again”

[Jess Bennett @writingjess]

@rdanzenbaker Fingers crossed! 🤞
