You are right. That IS how it works.
The main thing, almost always, is just to start #writing and let the #story take you where it will!

Every once in a while you stumble upon a gem of an article. This is it. Fantastically written. The epitome of chaotic evil.
Some men just want to watch the world burn and I would very much like to be in that bar grinning along with them.

The only thing better than a good #library is a #goodlibrary with a #doggo! Just ask my #doggy if you don't believe me...

Very valid point, that is alas wasted on the kind of moron who'd say something like this on seeing someone else's work (which they could undoubtedly never replicate!)
#BookSky #amwriting #writing #amwriter #writer #writercommunity #WritingCommunity #write #writersgonnawrite #writerslife #writerlife
Very, VERY well done!
I am proud of any and every #writer who manages to carve out this time (for what is important) for themselves and hope to emulate that example soon 🙂

Not well.
Which might be why some of those who are foolish enough to interrupt me when I am #writing rarely do it (knowingly) a second time...

Oh my God, I think that puts you into about one percent of your fellow #writers - including me - who can only dream (pun intended) of pulling off such a stunt!!!

Do you know what time it is? It’s fact o’clock! For anyone who has ever woken with a hangover, the phrase “hair of the dog” refers to drinking alcohol to ease the splitting headache you’re feeling. The origin is surprisingly literal and relates to my favourite disease: rabies. 1/4

So… I uploaded my first fan fiction to Archive of Our Own last week, and it is so heartwarming to see the responses to it. 1/3

Sometimes "simple" and "colourful" is all that you need to create "memorable" 😀

I love that they DO actually have a few of these telephone booth #libraries in the UK!

Me reading comments about my Dungeon Crawler Carl fan fic on ao3
#ao3 #dungeoncrawlercarl #fanfiction #amwriter
Carl says “you will not break me” but apparently I might break the readers. Part 3/3 coming soon. Things are about to hit the fan. archiveofourown.org/works/82206791
Magic the Gathering card of a Black Knight. The quote underneath the card ability reads: “Battle doesn’t need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don’t ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don’t ask why I fight.”
Sometimes, when taking a break from writing, you find great characters in unexpected places.
I stumbled upon this Magic the Gathering card a few years ago and keep coming back to it because the quote is so intriguing.
If I had time I would write a whole series on him
#amwriter #MagictheGathering
To be fair though, THINKING about #writing is a necessary but not sufficient condition to get a #story actually #written!
#BookSky #amwriting #writing #amwriter #writer #writercommunity #WritingCommunity #writersgonnawrite #writerslife #writertip #writerlife #writingtips
Very relatable...
And every time I do this, I wonder WHY I do this??? 😬

Delight of the day - in researching witches for a story, it turns out the phrase “Hocus Pocus” likely comes from a shortening of the Catholic "Hoc est enim corpus meum" (aka this is my body in Latin). It dates back to the 1620s!
What’s a fact you’ve stumbled upon while writing? #amwriter #writesky
In Orwell's 1984 there's a mention of "novel-writing machines." Here we are.

Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird famously said: “you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them.”
This is why writers make their characters’ shoes two sizes too small. They want to watch them suffer.
