I like my books like I like my tea—dark, complex, and slightly dramatic.

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.’

Up and coming author DJM Young just finished her debut novel draft and is currently in developmental editing. We are excited to follow her journey!

Reminder: We’re not looking for perfection—we’re looking for your story. The quirks and heart are what make it shine. #writersky #writingcommunity

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.

Writing a book is like running a marathon you voluntarily signed up for while sleep-deprived and fueled by caffeine. At first, you’re all excitement and ideas. The middle? That’s where the snacks kick in and you’re cruising. But the end? ..(Continued) #writercommunity #writingcommunity #writing

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
