Authors Go For Broke

@SteffenJack84 @SintonCrane I never thought of someone doing this. It would take away the meaning of the whole story/film 😅 Also... you wouldn't really know what is going on. Even reading the last page of a book you might learn who is still alive... but nothing would really be in context. I could never 🤣

@AuthorsGo4Broke @SintonCrane Some people hate surprises. I wonder if they do the same thing with movies.

Has anyone read the last page before buying a book?

@thehjelliott Hello! Nice to meet you! I like to read any genre and I love to write fantasy! 🥰

Thank you for 250 followers! I am so happy that you're all here! If you are a writer or reader, drop a comment so I can follow you!

@AlanBreenAuthor Hahaha this is time well spent my friend!! The rest will come eventually 🤣🤣

Today I'm writing my first blog. I've already spent 25 minutes thinking of an opening line and 26 minutes congratulating myself for becoming a blogger 😂 #FirstBlog

@Mary_ork Writing/editing and reading books from authors I am interviewing for my YouTube channel Authors Go For Broke! Busy busy!! Welcome back to X! 🥰

Hey! I've been off social media due to some issues for a while, so tell me what you're working on now. A new WIP? Editing? Plotting? Formatting?

@shawnbrinkauth2 I am so sorry for your loss! Dont worry about daily commitments. If you dont do it, you'll feel bad and it could make writing a chore. Do it when it feels right. When your heart is in it and you'll write the best story! I know it! Congratulations on starting again!

My wife died in March, 2026, and that day my fiction writing stopped. But now, I’m ready to start again. I promise a committment to writing daily with the goal of my next novel releasing in the near future. (posting to stay accountable).

@jhaleauthor Happy birthday! Your hair looks amazing!!

Big birthday hair! Ready to run around Nashville! 🍰🥂

@generatemagic Thank you so much for your kind comment! I honestly love it so much! It's nice to meet you! 😊

@AuthorsGo4Broke Great to meet you, Bailey! Wonderful to see you supporting other authors.

Hello X friends! I want to thank everyone for following me recently! You all are the best and I love our conversations together!!! I will introduce myself since it has been a while 🥰🥰 My name is Bailey! I am from the US but live in France with my family. I am currently in the trenches in writing a novel that I can't wait to share with you one day! I host a youtube channel called Authors Go For Broke where I feature indie authors and help promote them for free! It is so much fun! I love meeting new authors and having some great conversations! My next interview is on Monday June 8th if you would like to check it out and subscribe!! I love to read fantasy mostly but I enjoy all genres! Reading the books of my featured authors has really opened my eyes to some great genres! Finally, my true profession is also helping authors. I help authors who are currently in the middle of writing. I charge authors for an hour phone call with me to help plan, brainstorm ideas, read chapters together and get instant reader feedback, help get past writers block, help look for events such as book signings and other opportunities, to help you set goals and stay focused, character development ideas, and just to socialize with and show support to authors who are feeling isolated and need someone to celebrate the achievement of trying to follow there dreams of being an author. It doesnt matter if you are on your first book or your 20th. Every book is different. Every author is different. DM me if interested in scheduling a call! I am always here to help you. 🥰 I believe in you! 🥰 I love to hike, swim, read, write, sing when nobody is around, take care of my family, and help authors as much as I can. I love camping, beach days, reading days, movie nights, family gatherings, and so much more. Thank you to everyone who is following me! You are all amazing and I appreciate you! DM me if you are currently writing a novel and want to schedule a call with me! #writingcommunity #reading #booktwitter #books #trending #fyp #goodvibes #author #authorsupport #authorgoals #goals #likeandsubscribe #thankyou

@DanSihota @SusanSavageLee1 I love how you said this!

@SusanSavageLee1 I like to think everything makes sense to the character using their own logic, no matter how warped it may be, to an outsider, this might look like a contradiction, but to them, it makes perfect sense. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amreading

How do you give characters contradictory traits without making them feel inconsistent? #writingq #WritingCommunity

@rola_naggar Thank you so much for explaining that to me. I am glad you have an editor you respect and trust. Good luck with your revisions! 😊

@AuthorsGo4Broke It’s usually a small tip, nothing elaborate. Like a certain aspect is not explored enough, or it didn’t stick the landing and needs to be drawn out a bit longer, etc. (It’s vis-à-vis short stories mostly). Editors are always overwhelmed with work, so any tip is always good.

A tiered rejection with feedback, and from an editor I respect enormously, is the best thing that happened today. So grateful.

I can't believe someone wrote a book like that. I am sorry you had to read it, especially when it was so personal to your family history. I hope he took your lesson to heart and learned something. I am so sorry about loosing your family. That was a rough war for so many and shouldn't be used to make bad fiction novels.

All immersion is lost, especially if the reader has a different worldview. Yet you would be surprised at how many novels are like this. One fellow wrote a sci-fi book. All biracial or non-white characters were the good guys while the utterly evil space-Nazis were white. By space Nazis, I literarily mean just that, they has titles right out of the SS and thrived on racism while everyone else was singing kumbaya. Let me tell you, my all-white (at the time) country fought actual Nazis, I lost family in that war. I was not amused and privately gave him a short history lesson. His lecture (disguised as a novel) about racism showed me exactly who the racist was.

I enjoy a lot of anti-woke indie books

@GaiusKonstantin @RedHedgedragon YES!!! Sometimes I read a book and I can feel the fads, political influences, or agendas being pushed in the characters. It can completely take me out of the story when I feel like someone is trying to secretly lecture me.

@RedHedgedragon I like a good book that entertains, that's what I seek in a novel. If I wanted a lecture on the latest sociological fad, I would look elsewhere.

@DWARussell22 Congratulations on the 5 star rating!! I think they don't realize how important the feedback and review is to an author. To a reader who doesnt understand... that 5 star was there way of saying it was amazing! So just take in the WIN 🏆 😏 🥰

Authors, are you satisfied when someone rates your book without leaving a review? Assuming the rating is positive? I just received a 5 star rating for Relentless Blades with no review. I happy but wish they had left some comments. What about you?

@AlanBreenAuthor Congratulations! I am a new follower and I am excited to join you on your journey! 😊

700 followers! ❤️ When I started sharing my thoughts and stories, I never imagined 700 people would come along for the journey. But you're not just followers to me – you've become friends ❤️ The likes, comments, encouragement, laughs, and conversations have meant more than you'll ever know. Every person here has helped keep me motivated to write, create, and believe in myself on the days when I needed it most. So thank you for reading my stories, supporting my writing, and being part of this amazing community. Here's to the next chapter, more stories, and many more friendships along the way. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You're all amazing ❤️ #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AuthorLife
