Recharge your writing batteries. Take time to rest and recharge between your #writing. An author's mind needs time to percolate on a story to find the right angle to tell it. Read something great. - Wrtr #AmWriting Learn to rest, recharge, and come back strong in your writing. #Writer #Author
Authors mantra while writing: Ignore the naysayers, break some rules, trust yourself in writing. - Wrtr

“Remember, all of your favorite authors started out #writing just like you, with worries and thoughts. A first draft is really for getting just the first shape of a story along with its imperfections. So you can find and bring out the best story in later drafts.” - Wrtr #AmWriting #Writer #Author
And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good. - John Steinbeck - Be Writing ~ A closeup photo of a writer's hand as they write their story by hand -- writing notebooks and a mug can be seen spread out on the table in front of them.

Revising your novel happens naturally in your writing, it is a finding of the true story to tell, when you find the real story hidden inside your text for your reader. Don't begrudge the writing you did to get the right story. #AmWriting - Wrtr #Writing #Writer #Author #BookSky #AuthorSky
Books aren't written - they're rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn't quite done it. - Michael Crichton ~ Background photo shows a closeup of the tuning pegs on a guitar.

Don't worry if you have a messy first draft. Messy first drafts provide you the soil to grow your story in. Your first draft needs to be a bit messy as you organize and discover new thoughts in your writing, so it has room enough to grow your story in. - Wrtr #AmWriting Be #Writing #Writer #Author
To me, writing is fun. It doesn't matter what you're writing, as long as you can tell a story. - Stan Lee ~ Background photo shows a town nestled in a valley between the mountains, the sun rising over the mountains giving the photo an unusual color.

In each story, you need to add a few scene-stealing walk-on characters who fill out your scenery and background. They aren't always full supporting characters, but they provide breadth to your story. And sometimes they are why your readers read your stories. - Wrtr #AmWriting #Writing #Author

There is something truly magical, wonderful, and awe-inspiring in watching the characters and story you create come to life on the page and in your writing. - Wrtr #AmWriting Keep Writing. #Author #Writing #Writer #BookSky #AuthorSky
Writing a book is like following a path that only reveals itself to you as you walk it. - Matt Myklusch - Writing. ~ Background shows a photo of a forest path, lit up at the end with a bright light, the light causing it to look like a painting.

Note to self: Remember that even though some characters are just for stage dressing, make those characters interesting because they form the base for all the rest of the characters to rest on in the story. Just like the scenery does. - Wrtr #AmWriting #Author #Writing #Writer #BookSky #authorSky
If you are using dialogue -- say it aloud as you write. Only then will it have the sound of speech. - John Steinbeck

Sometimes you can't see the true nature of your story until you get all of it, everything, all out on paper or the screen. Until then, it can keep surprising you. So keep writing. Then adjust it in the next draft. - Wrtr #AmWriting Be Writing. #Author #Writing #Writer ~ #BookSky #AuthorSky
Start Writing. - Wrtr ~ Background photo shows a town built around a lake and on the side of a mountain, the roofs dusted with snow.

The secret is a book doesn't get written all at once, you only have to create one chapter, one paragraph, one sentence, at a time. Always remember, as an author to be you. Write you. - Wrtr #AmWriting Write. ...Keep #Writing #Author #Writer #BookSky #WriterSky
Just Write. - Wrtr ~ Photo shows a nighttime sky up through the trees, giving it a dark blue color.

Sometimes you have to put a story away for a bit and work on something else until you gain enough perspective and knowledge, or grow enough in your writing and the view of the story to be able to finish it. - Wrtr #AmWriting #Writing #Author #Writer #BookSky #AuthorSky
Write like you. - Wrtr ~ Background photo shows a tree in fall colors growing by itself out in the middle of a lake, mountains in the distance behind it.

Sometimes you think you know the story you are writing. Then the true story shows through the words. That's the moment the rewriting starts to happen. It's then at that moment for me when the story clicks into place. - Wrtr #AmWriting #Author #Writing #Writer ~#AuthorSky #BookSky

Don’t carry your mistakes around with you. Instead, place them under your feet and use them as stepping stones to rise above them. - Author Unknown
