As any #writer will testify, @thisone0verhere.bsky.social speaks only the most truthiest of truths here....

Sigh. 😏

#BookSky #amwriting #writing #amwriter #writer #writercommunity #WritingCommunity #writersgonnawrite #writerslife #writertip #writerlife #writingtips

This is such a PERFECT terms of reference for a #fiction #writer! 😄

#BookSky #amwriting #writing #amwriter #writer #writercommunity #WritingCommunity #writersgonnawrite #writerslife #writertip #writerlife #writingtips

This is so relatable!

The worst part of the #writingprocess for me is getting the #firstdraft down before I "lose it"... 😏🤷🏽👍🏽

*primalfear*

#BookSky #amwriting #writing #amwriter #writer #writercommunity #writingtip #writersgonnawrite #writetip #writerslife #writertip #writerlife #writingtips

Better late etc...??? 😏🤷🏽

Yes, #truestory!!!

(And if it's JUST 75 times, then you should count yourself lucky... 😏)

Very often, anything that means #selfcare or giving oneself credit can be hard to do - especially as a #creative and/or a #writer 🤷🏽

Good luck, you deserve to be kind to yourself for any degree of productivity!

#BookSky #amwriting #writing #amwriter #writer #writersgonnawrite #writertip #writerlife

Agreed most emphattically! 😉

#BookSky #wordplay #amwriting #writing #amwriter #writer #writercommunity #WritingCommunity #writersgonnawrite #writerslife #writertip #writerlife #writingtips

Not, sadly, ENTIRELY untrue when it comes to the #writersife... 😄

#BookSky #amwriting #writing #amwriter #writer #writercommunity #WritingCommunity #writersgonnawrite #writinglife #writertip #writerlife #writingtips

Too good, as (mis)interpretations go!!!

And as a fellow #writer, SO entirely relatable... 😏😏😏

#BookSky #amwriting #writing #amwriter #writer #writercommunity #WritingCommunity #writersgonnawrite #writerslife #writertip #writerlife #writingtips

When your #dog isn't sure *how* to tell you that the #firstdraft of your #story should NEVER be shared - even with #betareaders! 😄

That's what you say now, Laura, but you know you'll be right back here with a new book in a few months' time! 😉

#BookSky #amwriting #writing #amwriter #writer #writercommunity #WritingCommunity #writersgonnawrite #writerslife #writertip #writerlife #writingtips

And trust me, it's even worse when you #write them! 😉

Yes, please avoid #AI. Whatever you are best at #writing will shine through in your #stories!

And you can always try and experiment with form again later, if/when you feel ready for it 🙂

#BookSky #amwriting #write #amwriter #writer #writercommunity #writerslife #writertip #writerlife #writingtip

As a fellow #writer all I have to say is - honestly... WHATEVER WORKS!!! 😄😉😏

#BookSky #amwriting #writing #amwriter #writer #writercommunity #WritingCommunity #writersgonnawrite #writerslife #writertip #writerlife #writingtips

Well done, whatever the "inciting incident" that got you to #write again 😀

#BookSky #amwriting #writing #amwriter #writer #writercommunity #WritingCommunity #writersgonnawrite #writerslife #writertip #writerlife #writingtips

I love it, honestly!

It is so much more fun for me to just tweak a #story rather than to write the #firstdraft 😄

#BookSky #amwriting #writing #amwriter #writer #writercommunity #WritingCommunity #writersgonnawrite #writerslife #writertip #writerlife #writingtips

Congratulations, that is indeed a delightful discovery for any #writer!

#BookSky #amwriting #writing #amwriter #writer #writercommunity #WritingCommunity #writersgonnawrite #writerslife #writertip #writerlife #writingtips

I mean, why would any of us #writers actually #write these brilliant, middle of the night #storyideas down?

Surely that would be too SENSIBLE!!!

#BookSky #amwriting #writing #amwriter #writer #writercommunity #WritingCommunity #writersgonnawrite #writerslife #writertip #writerlife #writingtips

Highly recommend watching outside of the genre you are currently writing. It will do wonders for your draft. 🪄 #5amwritersclub #writertip

I jot down some quick ideas to revisit later, and move on to #writing whatever is flowing well.

Best not to stress about it if possible - at least, for #writers like me with a vicious inner critic 😏

“My candle burns at both ends…” feels a bit too personal today.

Burning bright doesn’t mean burning out, but some Mondays I teeter on the edge. Here's to finding the balance between fire and rest.

What keeps your creative candle lit?

Book cover shows a woman feeding a piece of pizza to a red-headed man. Words on cover: Colleen Collins Sweet Tallkin' Guy

#WriterTip: Publishing's a crazy biz, try to make it work for you.

Once had cover (below) that was awful (nothing to do w/ story @ ghosts in old Colorado mining town). Also was nominated for "Worst Cover of the Year." Groan. So I promoted it on this dubious honor 😂 20+ years later, it still sells 👍

Progress, not perfection. Action, over inaction.

First off, happy Mother's Day!

So, this weekend I learned to and made my ARC signup form!

Does anyone have any helpful tips?
In case I missed something important.
I did add at least an anti-piracy clause.
