JCW Helmkamp 🖊📚

This is my first book. Adventure novel meets introspective commentary on life, parenting, and self-doubt. I truly hope you will take a chance on this piece that I poured my heart into. #WritingCommunity 2nd edition now available on Amazon. amazon.com/dp/B0B8VJF8CM

What time of day do you write? What works best for you?

I've decided that I'm not going to stop chasing my dreams as an author, so here we go. What's your best advice? What platform or tool has been the most impactful for you? #WritingCommunity

@elchandler Man, I would SO find somewhere to add two words. 😂😂😂

At 134,000 words, I am finally done with my WIP! Yay! 🥳🥳🤗

@HBrooksWrites Authorhelmkamp !!

Can folks in the writing community drop their 🦋 handles please? I am having a heck of a time finding y’all. Mine is hbrookswrites.

@NatashaCL7 What a fantastic review. That's amazing!

I needed this W today. Thank you!🥹

I dabbled with some poetry last night. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #WritingCommunity #Poetry

@KT_Carlisle Imagine thinking it’s wrong to use tools for your craft. I imagine painters are supposed to use only one brush as well?

Is it cheating to use a thesaurus? I don't think it is, but some people on here seem to think so. My favorite site to use is wordhippo. Sometimes the right word eludes you, and it's great to have a resource you can fall back on to help get the creative juices flowing.

If you’re a writer, write. Write through the emotions of the current situation, do it for yourself, and do it for society. People will lean on the ability to escape.

Well, shit.

@LFrostWrites Yes please.

If anyone else is looking for an emotional support Canadian, I have your back. I bake things better than you’d find in 99% of bakeries and I can either leave you alone or sit by your side when you read, write, cheer, or cry.

If you’re struggling tonight, you’re not alone. 🖤

@ccfosterwrites Absolute dream scenario. 🖤

Nothing else matters if human rights don’t matter.

@GhostAgamemnon @Artists @poets We can fix it!

Oh, man. I’ve been away from the Twitter world enough now that my whole stupid feed is political garbage. Help?!? Please? Looking for my friends, the @writingcommunity @artists @poets and fun weirdos. Gimme a hi or a heart or a friendly pic? Thanks in advance!

@2TheImp Thanks pal!

@AuthorHelmkamp Finished, polished, through beta readers and critique partners.

At what point do you query your novel? Does it need to be finished? In progress? Just a fledgling idea?

@2TheImp Struggling to find balance between controlling what I can control while simultaneously hoping our democracy doesn’t die. How are you?

Emotional support Canadian checking in. How are my US people doing?

@MadcapCreations “Query-ready manuscript” yeah no way I’ll have that much of my draft done by then. 😂 but it’ll be fun to watch everyone else’s!

@AuthorHelmkamp 😂🤣 no need to pressure yourself. There's always another pitch event around the bend. But just in case you're feeling super motivated ... x.com/CheerPitX/stat…

Agent ❤️ and a Big 5 editor ❤️!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@MadcapCreations Oh man. How much should I have done for that??? Haaaalp!

@AuthorHelmkamp That's awesome!!! I think there's another event in December, so you better get on it! You got this, bud!!

@MadcapCreations Thank you! I’m so excited by the ideas I have swirling.

@AuthorHelmkamp Wishing you lots of luck with the next one! 😊🙏

@Merriman1792 Have nothing to share right now. I’m just excited to make some writer friends as I get back into this passion of mine. 🐦‍⬛
