Who are these "a lot of people"? #callingbs
Hmmmmn. Not just any old Tesla dealers but "company- owned" Tesla dealers.

#CallingBS The energy return on investment of a wind turbine is the amount of energy it produces over its lifetime compared to the amount of energy used to make and install it. Wind turbines typically have an EROI of over 20,meaning they produce more than 20 times the energy they use to create.
A notebook lies on a table made of roughly finished wooden planks. Inside the notebook is a silver pen with a blue end.
13) I'll start writing as soon as I finish reading this book/article on writing
Why that's BS: Books/articles on the writing life reassure writers they're not alone, but you won't learn how to write from them.
To be a better writer, you must #BeWriting
#WritingCommunity #CallingBS
A white girl with blond hair in a bun swings overlooking a cityscape
12) All the Great Books have been written, there are no new stories out there
Why that's BS: "All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible." - William Faulkner
#WritersLift #CallingBS #FailBetter
A pair of emoji faces pops out of an box of emoji faces as seen through a screen speckled with waterdrops. The pair of emoji faces look worried and are eyes shut, mouth opened crying
11) My friends/family will recognize themselves and sue/get mad at me
You can:
b) do nothing
c) beg for forgiveness
d) hope they don't notice
e) change names
f) change names, including yours, and maybe wait until they've died to publish
#AmWriting #AmWritingFiction #CallingBS
Black and white image of a Black man wearing a dark T-shirt, laughing so hard his eyes are shut.
10) I sent something in once and it was rejected
Why that's BS: Once? Did you say, "once"?
Ha! If a piece is rejected 30-40 times, maybe it should be sent to Literary Valhalla.
Or you could revise it, put a new title on it, and try another 30-40 places.
#AmQuerying #CallingBS
A girl with dark purple hair smirks at the camera. She is wearing a light blue T-shirt
9) My friends/literary community will mock my shit writing
Why that's BS: Probably not. If they do, they’re assholes and you should make it your life’s mission to destroy them (in print) and make them feel small.
The best revenge is writing well.

A female police officer leans against a window. She is also reflected in the pane of glass, as is a male police officer. She is wearing aviator sunglasses, a navy blue uniform blouse with a badge over her left breast pocket. On her right shoulder sleeve is a unit patch and below that are two chevrons of rank
8) Everyone will laugh at my grammar/spelling
Why that's BS: Acquisitions editors will not give more than one or, at most, two shits about your grammar/spelling. They'll like the way you write, what you have to say, or they won't.
#amediting #CallingBS
Muliple images. Left to Right: 1) a bonsai tree on a white background - 2) a dog's upper face on a white background above a black background with a cat's yellow eyes 3) a baby in a milk crate, wearing a white onesie and a knit cap with ear flaps
7) I have take care of my kids/dog/plant
Why that's BS:
Kids need love, work, attention, work, money, work...
Dogs need walks OUTSIDE (away from your writing desk)
Plants: water, throw out dead plant, replace, repeat
#writercats: OK, but don't expect supportive feedback
#WritingLife #CallingBS
A snowy city street with a bus parked near the side. Bus is white with an orange front grill panel.
6) I have a day job, so maybe when I retire
Why that's BS: No, actually there’s a bus somewhere, and in fifteen months it’s going to run you over.
Sorry! It’ll be really, really sad.
In any case, you have until then.
Go get ‘em, tiger!
#WritersLift #CallingBS #WriteNow
Black and white image of a woman slumped in a window sill. Her feet are bare - one is on the window sill, the other on the radiator and her long hair covers her face.
5) My writing sucks
Why that's BS: Everyone's writing sucks occasionally. The only remedy is to keep writing, keep polishing your craft, keep improving and one day, your writing will be good.
#WritersLift #AmEditing #CallingBS
Black and white image of an elderly woman, wearing an abaya, rests her hands on a young girl's shoulders. The young girl, also wearing an abaya, looks up towards the elderly woman.
4) At [your age], I'm too old/young to write
Why that's BS: Plenty of accomplished writers start in their later years, relaying on a lifetime of experience. Tons of young writers are able to channel their youthful energy and creativity into inspired stories
#WritersLift #CallingBS
A blank spiral notepad with several crumpled pieces of paper
3) I have writer's block
Why that's BS: Sit. Write a sentence - just two words. Subject+predicate. Now write another. And a more complex sentence, with a comma. Write a sensory description.
#AmWriting #CallingBS
Black background with a burning scroll
2) I don't have time
Why that's BS: If you have leisure time, you have time to write. Prioritize your passion. Be a creator, not merely a consumer.
#AmWriting #CallingBS
A person sits at a table, writing on a papers with a blue mechanical pencil. Only the person's arm, wearing a grey knit sweater, is visible. A white mug and spiral notebook are also on the table.
1) No one will want to read it
Why that's BS: So at first, no one wants to read it, but keep writing and eventually someone will want to pay to read your words.
