I see all these writing videos about how to generate story ideas.
I have enough story ideas.
I need the "How to Summon Magical Forest Creatures to Do Your Editing While You Sleep" kind of videos.

Being double-booked as an author doesn’t mean events, it means abandoning one half-finished novel to chase a shiny new idea and now juggling two chaotic drafts like an over-caffeinated circus act.

Fun Idea: Query Graveyard—where rejected queries go to rest, and writers take a moment to mourn (before rising from the ashes like the resilient word-wizards we are).

Writing is just talking to yourself on paper and hoping other people find it interesting.

Writers: ‘This idea is amazing!’ Also writers, 3 chapters in: ‘Why is this trash? Who let me write this?’

Writing is a form of empowerment. The act of creating a world in which you have ultimate control can be an incredibly cathartic and joyful experience.
If you get overwhelmed or blocked, just remember that you have the power. You get to mould the world and its characters. #writinginspiration

When people ask how my book is going, I tell them it’s ‘marinating.’ This sounds better than ‘I’m avoiding it and questioning all my life choices.’

The writing process: 1) Brilliant idea 2) Outlining is fun! 3) Writing is hard 4) Why am I like this? 5) Editing is worse 6) I’m done! 7) Spots a typo after publishing.

Happy holidays to all the writers out there! May your stockings be stuffed with:
Notebooks you’ll never use but HAD to have
Pens so fancy you’re scared to write with them
Deadlines that magically meet themselves
And if all else fails, more inspiration!

Writers, have you ever thought about your various book notes, research, and ideas….then wonder what people would think if something ever happened to you and they looked through your notes 👀 #writersky
