Stay curious—questions fuel great writing. What if? Why? How? The more you ask, the deeper your ideas, characters, and themes become. Curiosity sparks fresh insights, unexpected connections, and stories that captivate. Keep questioning, keep creating. #WritingTips #StayCurious #author #writer #books

Someone please explain to the Felon-in-Chief that he can’t scribble his name on an executive order and rename an entire global body of water.

Just like he can’t rename the Atlantic Ocean, the Great Barrier Reef or the moon.

Someone take the crayons from him before he starts renaming continents.

First day in office and the war against queer people has already begun. It’s time to stop fighting with each other and guard ourselves against the real enemy.

A strong opening hooks; a strong ending lingers. These may be the most important sentences in any chapter—whether in life or in writing.

Trust your readers—they’re smarter than you think. Don’t over-explain. Let them connect the dots, engage with the nuance, and interpret your message. Writing is a collaboration; give them space to join the journey. #writingcommunity #amwriting #writer #writerslife #writerscommunity #writing #writers

Let your characters surprise you. Don’t force them to fit your plan—let them act naturally, take risks, or reveal unexpected layers. These surprises often create the most authentic and memorable moments in your story. #WritingTips #AmWriting #writinglife #indieauthor

Don’t get too attached to your words. If they don’t serve the story, they’re dead weight—Kill them off. Be Dexter.

Every comma must earn its place. It should enhance clarity, guide the reader, or structure ideas—not clutter the text. Use them wisely.

Your book will never feel ready or perfect. Every time you read it, you’ll want to tweak something. Don’t wait for perfection—it’s an illusion. A finished book with “flaws” is better than one that never gets shared.

I will not be complacent.
I will not stay silent.
I will not pander to your biases or cater to the idea that every opinion is equally valid.

I will not put your feelings above the lives and rights of trans people.
