@samknight.bsky.social's #writingtips for new authors: Everything is baby steps in writing. There is no fairytale where it all magically happens. Even those very few who make it "big" with their "first" book had to sit down and write it one word at a time. Keep realistic expectations.

@samknight.bsky.social 's #writingtips for new authors: The best way to learn is NOT the internet. It's from other authors who will tell it to you straight. Go to local events, meet local authors, be involved in your local writing community, and you will learn from others' mistakes.

Tomorrow! Come find your next read and favorite author! Also, if you are a writer in the area of Colo Springs, or maybe even Pueblo or Southern Denver Metro, this would be a great place to start finding your local writing community!

@samknight.bsky.social's #writingtips for new authors: One of the hardest things about starting a writing career is getting people to leave a review. Be prepared when they say they will but never do. Also, never "sock puppet" your own reviews. It will come back to haunt you.

@samknight.bsky.social's #writingtips for new authors: It's okay if your entire idea is based upon a stuttered insult your brother messed up. Any idea is a place to start. What matters is where you go with it. Can you make that scene make sense within a story? Then write it! Payback!

Once upon a time, I was at a small-town Christmas parade. I told my wife, "This reminds me of something..."
She laughed. "That story you wrote last year?"

“I’m not here to hurt you,” I say, holding up my hands. “I’m just looking for someone.”
Her face hardens. That seems like it was the wrong thing for me to say.
“A boy. A little boy. He’s only five. Have you seen him?”
The woman could have held down a job as a statue.

Writing misplaced modifiers, the story was ruined by the author.
They seem to work in our minds when we write them, but they don't work in the readers' minds. This is one of the reasons why we all need editors.
