We celebrated the launch of LIGHTS AT NIGHT with a pajama party! We had a fort, twinkle lights, glow sticks, light up wands and rings and cookies! It was a great night, thanks to everyone who came out 🌌

If you start writing a new wonderfully weird idea, but you run into trouble executing that wonderfully weird idea, there are two possible causes:
1. it’s a dumb idea that won’t work
2. you’re a visionary genius & the only person who can pull it off
The only way to know? Keep writing.

We have a question! First off, the usual caveats: YMMV, my way is not the only way, whatever works if your process, your process may change. That being said, I've been revising pretty much the same way since the beginning, and it works for me. So here we go. 1/
I see a lot of writing advice but I don’t see as much talk about what the revision process looks like (admittedly, I may not be looking hard enough). What does it look like for you? Has it changed from when you started?

Not everything you write has to be for publishing or fame, some things can be written just for fun, written for joy, can get you out of a writing rut while writing on something else. Writing for joy can clear your mind while you think through and write your novel. #amwriting #author #writing -Wrtr

it’s crazy that it’s the year 2023. i remember back when it was 1996 and 2003 and some other years like that. 2014 too, that was another one
