My favorite gadget as a writer is my Sony TX660 voice recorder.
I love that its one job is just that. No notifications. No updating or rating an app. Just press record and go.
I take it with my everywhere and can ramble on and pause for as long as I want. Transcription later. #writesky #authorsky

A fictional writing tip I keep coming back to: CONTRAST.
Contrast is what makes a story interesting.
For example, I had two characters in my story that got along really well going on their journey together. Something fell off until I realized if they get along so well and agree about everything...

What do you think of this story premises for a short twilight zone fan fic episode?
Would you be down for this quick read it if I wrote it?

One of the hard parts of writing a novel is listening when there's the tiniest feeling that a scene, character, etc just doesn't feel right and pushing back on the desire to move on because I already wrote so much of the story.

Not sure if anyone else writes like me but my novel has a lot of organized complexity. It needs to be effortless for the reader to follow while maintainable for me to keep everything straight, especially when jumping forwards/backwards in segments of the novel. #authorksy #booksky #amwriting

20% into Blood Meridian by Cormack McCarthy. Do not read if the slightest bit thirsty and away from water. Lots of depictions of people desperately seeking water in the desert. #booksky

The most common error I see as a book editor is incorrectly punctuated dialogue.
NO: “Nice to meet you.” She said.
YES: “Nice to meet you,” she said.
NO: “Likewise.” The editor said.
YES: “Likewise,” the editor said.
NO: She smiled, “Hi."
YES: She smiled. “Hi.”

Just finished Run. 2nd Crouch novel for me after Recursion.
Finished it in a couple days. I just fell into it.
I can't remember the last time I read a book where my heart was racing the whole time.
Not great for character complexity but it hits the mark as a solid action novel. #booksky

#Plototber Adam Grant. I work for Apple in Cupertino by day. By night I'm working on a Novel about a supposed miracle mental health pill. Suicide rates plummet, trauma is healed but one investigator must weigh exposing the shocking hidden cost against the good of humanity and his family. #booksky

🟢Done 🟡Rewrite
I stepped away to explain my novel to myself: why certain characters exist, why they have their quirks, how elements contribute to the narrative.
The result was turning a bunch of 🟢s to 🟡s. Sucks to have to redo but I know the story will be much better for it.
