@hadid_aldire Most of what we’re afraid of are things we made up. And the few that are real are things we are smart and flexible enough to deal with. If your imagination is strong enough to imagine that your world’s on fire, it’s strong enough to invent a bear with snowballs to help you out.

People say there’s no magic in books but the fact that you can string words together to create a series of visions in someone else’s brain is still our greatest achievement as a species.

Finland is offering artists up to €3,800/month to slow down and just make work. No exhibitions required, no performances. Just you, a quiet countryside residence, and two uninterrupted months.

SCAB’s Issue #18 is here!! scabmag.wordpress.com/wp-content/upl…

Hi! If you’re looking for creative writing opportunities this March, we’ve gathered a list of up to 60 free entry options. You will find at least one that works for you, no matter who/where you are. (Link in comments)

ISSUE THREE: FRINGE. SUBS OPEN MARCH 1 - MARCH 15. [new mission statement. new sub form. new author interview. all on our website. more posts to come.]

I truly believe that if everyone committed to reading a book for just an hour a day, we could heal ourselves and the world.

the unfortunate truth is there's no magical shortcut to learn to write. you can learn to write better, sure, but there's just simply no replacement for the real secret: reading, reading widely, reading carefully, reading things you don't understand until you do.

Social media will ruin your attention span. Reading books will repair your attention span. Choose wisely.

if you knew you were 100 rejections away from an offer of representation, think how excited you would be every time an agent rejected your query.

#questpit After falling 4 troubled new boy Lucas, prophetic loner Daniel is drawn into a violent web of secrets that'll land them on the streets of a dangerous far-off city. But Daniel’s visions warn - only 1 of them will survive the City of Angels danielsheen.net/agentsguide #Q #DR

#Questpit is tomorrow, and there are more scams out there than ever, so I'm bringing back my thread on how to stay safe and spot schmagents during pitch events!
