Addy Lopez is revising

Thread of my 1/31 #QuestPit posts. I appreciate all the love and support. 💜

Of course the day after I get my car washed the biggest bird shit I've ever seen was waiting for me on the back windshield this morning. 🫠

@HLCarter_Author Happy (belated) release day!

Release Day for King of Stars is HERE! (No joke!) Grab your copy today. 🥳

HUGE NEWS: A visual library of black hairstyles just released! If you're sick of crawling through Pinterest like I am, try out Afro.Index! It's very new + still growing, but it's already pretty solid!

stop engaging in ai fruit slop and instead embrace tradition.

I am not the same person I was before watching Chloé Zhao’s “Hamnet”.

Only losers use AI to write books (or make any kind of art).

@molochofficial Oh my god this is bad LOL.

this is actually a very good point of reference for those who aren't yet familiar with chatgpt's "writerly" style, because it showcases pretty much every tendency and tick

"you will be left behind if you dont start using AI in your writing" where are you all going ... i don't want to join you i don't want to be there.

@MsRade92 these are some of the visuals i've managed to find that show how it presents - it can be much less obvious and easier to overlook. please be safe everyone <3

Did I spend the past 3 days revising one of the most important scenes in my story that was only 6 pages long? Yes. Did I consider giving up on writing altogether numerous times? Also, yes. Did I get through the scene? Barely. 🫠

There’s… a lot happening in my life right now.

I will always be astounded by how time pressure gets my ADHD ass to lock tf in LOL. I revised 45 pages of Medusa Survives This Time in 2 weeks. I have 75 pages left and 19 days until the end of month. #writingcommunity

@suzannealbanis Congratulations 🥳 I can’t wait read it!

I finished my fourteenth book today! a book four years in the making, my sapphic pirate enemies to lovers to (something way worse) <3 House of the Dragon x JADE CITY x THE JASMINE THRONE

My goal is to finishing revising Medusa Survives This Time by the end of March and I’ve been revising everyday for the past maybe 2 or 2 1/2 weeks after work and it’s starting to catch up to me.

@pippawestauthor Gritted-teeth optimism, sheer will, spite, and a treat on my desk. I try not to think about how tired I am all the time lol.

How the heck are you guys doing a 5 day work week and having the energy/motivation to write... I'm tired after one day

@SDDonovan Fantasize about writing but never actually write

Alright. Your job is to give a new author the WORST advice possible. What do you tell them?

@suzannealbanis Pls 💀

@AddytheLopez yes I had no life tbh

opened the first ever book I wrote, was stunned to see it sits at 186K. checked my second book to see it was 165K. I really was out here writing TOMES. no plot, no notes, just vibes, and they’re the largest books I ever wrote. did one of them in probably four months too.
