Attempting to be a (Hollywood history) YouTuber and a short story writer relegated to being just a data analyst (for now!!)
Currently in the state of mind where mindless scrolling sounds boring which means this week is going to be SO productive 🎉🎉

Okay from now on new WIP ideas go into the short story bucket no matter what they are! 1, that’ll be an interesting challenge to try to turn each idea into a short tight story and 2, I really can’t have any more active novel WIPs right now or nothing will be finished

Everyone’s pitches make me want to write but alas I’m swamped at my day job 🫠

Writing Music Tip: Make a list of movies that have a similar vibe/energy to what you're novel is going to have and pop open the motion picture score, save a few to a writing playlist for that novel and boom you're ready to go

It feels so counterintuitive to me but I need to learn to accept that a part of being consistent is being flexible, being okay with rescheduling something to a different part of my day if I need to so I still make sure I get it done

Have my goals SET trying to keep them as achievable as possible, I was being too aggressive with my creative goals last year but now my attention is being pulled in too many directions

Waking up at a specific time and changing into real clothes REALLY helps my work from home flow

There’s a stark difference in work quality between days I put a bra on

If I had a penny for every time someone said I was pretty in Mandarin Chinese because they thought I wouldn’t understand I would have two pennies which isn’t a lot but it feels nice

#writingcommunity I’ve been reading Reddit posts on what people’s favorite ARC sites are but I would also like to hear from non-anonymous people lol.

What’s your favorite ARC site? Did the people who picked your book match your target audience well?

Todays my day off soooo 5k word goal time 👀👀 (including outline and brainstorming on the word count to keep myself sane)

Have to push my favorite writing podcast, I’ve learned an insane amount about writing queries just from this

Every book I’m working on right now (limiting myself to 3 I swear): “what if I added a cosmic horror undercurrent and twist to this??”

Hi #HorrorWritersChat !! I’m just getting started in writing but I love quiet horror, suspenseful atmospheres, and cosmic horror!

My personal fave festive tradition is getting breakfast with my family at our favorite diner before picking out a Christmas tree 🎄
Here we go with #HorrorWritersChat question 1:

Introduce your-elf! Tell us who you are, what you write, and your personal favourite festive tradition.

P.S. Don’t forget to include the tag when reposting!
