A teacher I very much liked once told me the following:
"A short story is about the event of the murder. A novel is all about the murderer."
I know this is a bit facile, but I still quite like this.

If the only thing stopping you from making that rad thing is the question "What if I fail?" then remind yourself what will happen if you don't even try:
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

If you are lagging in writing. Schedule time out to just think. Sometimes it's best to just think through your story/scene without the pressure of writing. #amwriting Thinking through your story again helps you find things to put into perspective. - Wrtr #author #writer #writing ~ #authorsky

The single most important skill to master in storytelling is knowing when to reveal information to the audience. Before it is relevant/immediately when it is relevant/or after it is relevant - all three times presents a very different story experience to the audience. Always ask when we should know.

Needed to see this today ♥️
Don't beat yourself up about how long you've been away from your writing practice.
The important thing is to go back.
Tonight, why not read the last pages you wrote?

Very excited. Printed out a hard copy of my first draft. It’s terrible (in a way that first drafts are) and will undergo many changes BUT she now exists in the world. #writingcommunity

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Frost draws white #feathers on the window glass. Beyond the wooden pane, darkness looms, treading into town on quiet paws. Winter night drops fast, like a woolen blanket, soft and heavy. #vss365

Christmas Eve visits to the ER are becoming my holiday tradition. 4th year in a row. First was an elbow dislocation, then a burn, last year was strep throat, and this year…. Sutures. Ho Ho Holy cow I shouldn’t be unsupervised.

The dirty little open secret to writing is that no one will ever know, nor care, how many drafts of a thing were written - people will only ever care about the crafted thing, and will, despite all knowledge to the contrary, assume it came out fully formed that way. No one thinks about shit drafts.

The number one advice any & every writing professional can & will give you is this:
DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SUCK.
You have spent years reading books, watching movies & TV, developing taste to know good from bad. NO ONE GETS TO READ YOUR WRITING UNTIL YOU LET THEM. Trust your taste & write fearlessly.
