One of the best ways to become a better writer is to be a consistent reader. I've been trying to come out of the little bubble I created for myself and try out a bestseller. I learned more than I expected...

To my Indie author friends: has anyone used Bookvault to print their books? If so, what was your experience?
I had five out of ten copies from KDP with major issues in my last order. I got the refund, but it's hard to want to do a replacement order when the quality was so bad.

Planning to write more about authors and books that inspire me. I need the inspiration. Here's the first.

Just had to take my meds to prevent a migraine. Did I overdo it today? Yes. Will I be blaming #47 for this? Also yes. I'm not entirely sure how my migraine brain is going to fare over the next four years...

Me: I love all my characters the same amount.

Hadithi: We both know that’s not true…

Please give it up for this rough sketch my sister did of the best *fictional* man I’ve ever had the pleasure of writing.

How To Be a Writer, #111:
Open laptop
Look into the void
Scream into the void
Consider that maybe the void also sometimes feels this way about you
Ask the void if it takes milk
Choose a nice mug for the void
And maybe a chocolate biscuit
Lose yourself in the void
Tea

Writing goals from now through March. Doing my best to ignore the grammar mistake I made and just let it go 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Microsoft: let’s add in a feature we’re sure everyone wants to use - AI writing!

Literally every single author (including myself) that I follow: HOW DO I TURN THIS OFF AND WHY DOES IT EXIST?!

Keep it up, my fellow typing weirdos. Let’s continue to make our work OUR WORK!

I know this sounds weak, I know it.

But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other.

We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

Goal: write the best fantasy books I can over the next four years using my stories to express what I cannot with simple words. The pen is mightier than the sword. It's time to use it.

The fact that writers can use various combinations of 26 letters to make me care about people who never existed and then destroy me emotionally by making them suffer is the weirdest, most unfair, and wonderful of magics

Looking for my ya adventure fantasy people 💛 readers and authors!
