Novel descriptions are all like "Stephen King meets Virginia Woolf" or "Charlotte Bronte meets Vin Diesel" and I'm like that sounds terrible and also what are they meeting about.

Such a great read!
When I started writing my novel, I followed the guidelines I’d been taught: 1” margins, size 12 Times New Roman, etc. But there are much easier and more beneficial ways to style your manuscript.

How to (Really) Format Your Manuscript
Some publishers specify guidelines. There’s plenty of general advice out there about margins, font, etc. But have you tried using styles?

it’s my belief that every poetry book should have a secret title that helps you understand what it is trying to do and it is also my belief this title should always be “nothing but bangers”

A lot of my authors are fantasy writers, so I get asked quite often, "Do I need a glossary?"
Here's my quick and dirty guide-
1) if you had to Google it, use a glossay
2) if it sounds like Middle Earth had a baby with any other language on the planet, you need a glossary

I love the aesthetic of a rainbow bookshelf, but I need the organization of alphabetical order, and I'm sad I can't have both 😭

This is some of the best writing advice I've ever read.
Aside: I use tarot to keep my mind attuned to playful connections between images with rich history. Each card has multiple meanings, and the cards speak to each other differently every day.

I hear time #chanting,
but it sounds like the
carton of milk left
spoiling in the fridge,
overriding my hunger
with the loudness of
its finite stench.

My developmental editing style is a lot like talk therapy in that I don't diagnose the problem and tell you what to do, but rather ask the questions that make you sit back and reevaluate everything you thought you knew.

Whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed with my editing work, I think back to younger me, who wanted so bad to be in my shoes and had no idea how to get here. I picture myself giving her a tour of my lit world, watching her eyes go wide, and I tell her, "You arrived," and suddenly I'm all gratitude.

My posts used to involve a lot of education. I'd post about how to structure story, how to pitch to agents, how to self-pub. As my community and I grew, we sort of moved on from basics, and now I have no idea what to post about as far as informative content. What would help you?

I'm in such an "ask me anything" mood and fear I don't have enough of a following here yet for it to work. But hey, here's to making habits that will grow!

The biggest enabler for creativity is stability. I wish that was made more central to the creative narrative. Figure out what your specific needs are to limit stressors and enable "boring" time and work to achieve that as hard as you're practicing your art.
