Dear book marketing scammers, thank you for your glowing praise for my book that totally doesn't sound like you just pasted the synopsis into ChatGPT, but I will have to decline. :P #writerproblems #writingcommunity #indieauthor

I had originally planned to finish a whole draft of this novel by the end of the year. That isn't going to happen, but reaching 50K words (especially since I started with almost nothing) feels like an achievement. #WIP #amwriting #writingcommuity

Just had to kill off a character who didn't deserve it because of Plot and I'm feeling like a jerk. #writerproblems #writingcommunity #amwriting

Me: I'm going to have my characters take a quick side-quest into this underground ice maze.
*20,000 words later*
Guess I'm renaming this novel THE ICE MAZE.

Thanks! I'd push for more if I could...50K right now is about all I can manage given my other projects. Good luck with yours (and your querying)!

Hit 41K words on my #WIP. Aiming for 50K by the end of the year. #Writingcommunity, what are you hoping to finish by New Year's Eve?

I had the chance to read an ARC of @clairejoyance.bsky.social's new novel, To Reap What is Sown (Threads of Destiny #4). If you're looking for an inclusive fantasy with a complex female lead (and plant magic!), check it out! You can find the whole series at www.barnesandnoble.com/s/claire%20e...

Never thought I'd be Googling "zebra mating habits" for a play, but here we are. #writerproblems #playwriting #writingcommunity

Review: ‘Pilgrimage’ portrays Muslim women with the complexity they deserve Golden Thread Productions and Z Space are billing the script as the first world premiere co-written by an Afghan American woman in the United States.

"[Pilgrimage] makes you leave the theater thinking about the women in your life — whom you’d trust with your darkest secrets, whom you could ask to join you on the journey of a lifetime or for care in your neediest hour." Thank you @lilyjaniak.bsky.social for your review in the Chronicle! #newplay

I've had OCD since childhood and would be very interested in writing a picture book about it. I also can't seem to figure out how to send a DM, but if you're interested I'd love to connect.

As a sci-fi writer and general space nut I find this really exciting. Sure, they won't be landing, just flying around it, but still -- THE MOON. 🌓 And the fact that this crew includes the first Black person and first woman to visit the Moon makes it even more exciting! #moon #artemismission

Too true

It's enough to drive one batty, isn't it? 🫠

Enjoying my last weekend before things get busy (start of Fall semester). Coffee, sunshine, and working on my #WIP.

Cover of The Twin Stars, featuring a space background and a review quote: "A well-crafted, thought-provoking, action-packed space adventure and coming-of-age story."

I've noticed this happening a couple of times after searching the agent database. Clicking "remove all search filters" (even though it looked like I had already done so) restored my vanished queries.

Part of having #OCD is dealing with a lifelong weight of mostly irrational guilt. I think that's why so many of my characters deal with guilt of some kind or another. It's also probably why guilt is the major theme of my #WIP. We write for a lot of reasons. Wrestling with our demons is a major one.

Writing retreat! 💻

Also, at least once the protagonist will say, "You'll never get away with this!" and I'll respond, "I already have."

Hello. I am a pregnant woman in a film. My water breaks and the baby is coming NOW. It's born five minutes later.

I felt like something was missing from my #WIP. I think I may have figured out what it is. I've made a change that both raises the stakes and increases tension. Because things weren't hard enough for my protagonist, ya know? *Chases MC up a tree & pelts her with rocks.* #writingcommunity #amwriting

Thank you for speaking out!
