Hi, I’m TheLynx. I write. I draw. I share quiet stories— and build a life around them. #writingcommunity #writers

Everything you say can end up in a story #writers #booktwt

not everything soft is safe

I kind of regret not starting social media earlier. Just having a place to share your thoughts — even if not many people respond. Even one comment, one view, one reaction is enough to remind you: somewhere out there, there are people who feel the same way. #WritingCommmunity

@tabby_swan yesss 😭 and then you rewrite the whole scene and suddenly it's not even the same scene you originally imagined anymore

@ByTheLynx when a scene is beautiful and emotive on your head, and you write and turns out its super cringe 🥲

me: this scene is fine me 10 minutes later: delete #writing #indieauthor

December 2025: 1–3 likes. 10 views. March 2026: 5-7 likes. 50 views. May 2026: sometimes the same — but sometimes 20 likes and 150 views. let's see what June brings. I'm not stopping either way. #WritingCommunity

POV: you’re not supposed to feel like this but it’s already happening #romancebooks #slowburnstory #BL

"we're just friends." "…sure." #BL #booktwt #romancebooks

Darren McAllister learned to be more. It cost him everything. #BL #novel #booktwitter

Kyle Faulkner learned to be less. It felt like surviving. #romancebooks #BL

Two heirs. One learned to perform. The other learned to disappear. #romancebooks #BL #booktwt

today I officially and wholeheartedly gave myself permission to not write. not edit. just play a video game and let my brain breathe. and you — take this 🤲 I give you permission to rest today too. #WritingCommmunity #booktwt #writers

I decided to post whatever's in my head. even the weird stuff. even the stupid stuff. but sometimes — deeply intellectual thoughts. because occasionally I want to feel like a serious literary mind. the other 90%: walking cringe compilation. #writers #amwriting

writing: fun editing: suffering #writers #WritingCommmunity

@Vynoreader Yeah, I agree - learning how to step away for a bit really helps. Over time I've gotten much better at balancing writing and real life too. Otherwise it's way too easy to get stuck in your own head and go a little insane 😭 And thank you, I really appreciate the offer.

@ByTheLynx Editing can definitely be a marathon! 😂 I find that taking breaks can really help bring fresh eyes to the work. If you ever want to chat about editing techniques, I’m here for it

being a writer is knowing exactly how a scene should feel and still not being satisfied until it hurts right #WritingCommmunity #booktwt

We don’t argue. We rewrite. #WritingCommmunity #amwriting

@Vynoreader Honestly my technique is just editing the scene for so long that eventually I become emotionally exhausted enough to stop caring 😂

@ByTheLynx Absolutely! It's like we can feel the scene in our bones, but getting it just right is a whole different challenge. Have you found any techniques that help you overcome that dissatisfaction?

@JohnWGant well, I was working on another WIP...

@ByTheLynx … wtf were you thinking taking a break from writing your WIP? …

writer pain: coming back to your WIP after a break with no proper outline I wrote 30 pages… and what was supposed to happen next??? I don't remember. I don't remember anything. so I just… make it up again 😭 #booktwt #WritingCommmunity #writers

@Aminatreads001 we writers are doing our best to turn our honest feelings into something readers can feel too 😌

@ByTheLynx And I'm a reader hoping to feel that too.

yes, I cry from the happiness and pain book characters feel. yes, I laugh out loud with them. yes, my hands shake with anger when someone hurts them. am I insane? no. I'm a writer. #booktwt #writersofX #writing
