"When your writing is challenging you. As a writer, when you feel a block, start with something small, just a scene or a small story about your characters. And then let things blossom from that. Whether you use it or not, it will inspire you."- Wrtr #amwriting Be #Writing #Author #Writer #BookSky

As an author, you have to learn to write even when the rest of the world outside you is raging around you. It's one of the hardest things to learn. Channel it into the book you are creating. - Wrtr #AmWriting (Thank you to: Art/Comic By: @SteveOgdenArt) #Writing #Author #Writer ~ #BookSky #AuthorSky

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

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
