Also bear in mind, when you’re choosing words and stringing them together, how they sound. This may seem absurd: readers read with their eyes. But in fact, they hear what they are reading far more than you realize. - William Zinsser

It's always surprised me that it didn't spawn a bunch of spinoffs. It's got a cool universe to write in.

Writing a book changes you. Even reading a book changes you. Most authors are targeted towards finishing a book. But I'd say the writing is just as important. - Wrtr #AmWriting #AmEditing Writing.

Writing is the act of conquering yourself every time you write. Each chapter written is a step. - Wrtr ~ Background photo shows a hiking trail on the west coast above the endless water of the ocean. A wooden bench for enjoying the view on the trail overlooks the water.

Writing is hard sometimes, it takes all you got to sit down and write. But when your writing, story, novel, or book works, there's nothing like it. - Wrtr #AmWriting Write.

I've always liked the idea that writing is a form of travel. - Rick Riordan ~ Background photo shows a fog filled mountain fjord, water and trees found below the mountains. The deep fog gives the photo and fjord a painting type of feel.

Sometimes you have to put blinders on and just focus on writing or creating today. Not tomorrow. Not next year. Make Something. Create Something. Act in defiance of the world around you, and things stopping you. - Wrtr #AmWriting

Agree. And if not, I will get them for one of my tablets. =) And if not that, I can loan them out in the Little Free Library next to our library.

True that. =)

Welcome! Always make space for you. And truthfully, they are art. Cheers,

I read fast. =) So I'm going to read everything. =)

It's the truth. Cheers! Keep up the good fight. - C ( Wrtr )

It's good for the soul. =) Plus gives our minds an outlet and a break. P.s. Those are both really good! - Wrtr ( C )

This. There is a little voice inside me, that says 'buddy you already have books everywhere', but there's a bigger voice inside of me that says, 'I'm buying this because I want more of this in the world.' Cheers! - C ( Wrtr )

The key is don't stop. =) And before you know it, it's done. Plan the plan, work the plan. As they say. Split things out. Find good people to represent you, if you go that route. Cheers! - C ( Wrtr )

Reverse outlining helps me get the right story, the right drafts, and puts the writing/finishing goblins mostly to bed. =) Keeps me moving. Need a finished book to market/query. If marketing, separate that thought/plan time out to do, move to beta reading/beta readers. And then refine both areas.

For me, I think the key is to keep moving. And to separate out book creation and writing/finishing from marketing, in as much as you can. Because marketing thoughts, while related, can paralyze writing thoughts. On the book finishing side, I do reverse outlining in a visual way, after each draft.
