I needed a forest image with storm and came up with this using Gork. What do you think?

@JeffSBrayAuthor Estate sales can be a lot of fun. You never know what you'll find or who you'll meet, that can be turn in to a character for a book.

Have you ever been to an Estate Sale? We had heard about them, but today was our first experience. Hit two of them, two yard sales, and a flea market. Found some good buys and had lunch at Chili's. Excellent date day. 🥰

@CreedWrites I'm in favor of recycling characters and changing their names, especially if its a really good character.

#writers , what do you feel about reusing character names in different stories? Have you ever done so? #writingcommunity #question

@gemmaEdenham Congrats.. that's wonderful

Well I unlocked a new author dream today - not only is my book in store, they made a huge behind the till display AND window display for me

@colleencoble I just got my copy of conspiracy and stayed up till 2 am reading it can't wait to find out who did it.

Tell me you love a good second-chance romance without telling me. 👀May I suggest the Sanctuary trilogy? 🐾 Wounded heroine, healing setting — Paradise Alden rebuilds her life (and her heart) at a wild-animal sanctuary 🐾 The one who got away — Blake Lawson never stopped loving her, even after his betrayal cost her everything 🐾 Small town, big secrets — Nova Cambridge, Alabama looks idyllic... until it isn't 🐾 Found family — a newfound brother, a found home, a found reason to hope 🐾 Faith-forward, clean romance — all the tension, none of the guilt 📚 Read the full trilogy — link in bio! #TropeTok #BookTropes #SanctuarySeries #ColleenCoble #SecondChanceRomance #CleanRomance #ChristianFiction #Bookstagram #RomanticSuspense #FoundFamilyTrope #BookishCommunity

@MalindaDetweil1 I wrote a scene about a dog getting killed and cried while I wrote it.

Have you ever written an ending so emotional that it took you weeks to recover?

Hey writers, do you ever dream about the characters in your books? If so do you write down the dream? #writingcommunity #writers #fictionwriters

@DNicholsAuthor No, I'm content just writing stories

Hey, fellow writers... Many literary agents I see are also authors. Would you ever want to be on that end of the business? #WritingCommunity #amwriting

@colleencoble I'll check that. I love the rock harbor series.

Do you already have WITHOUT A TRACE on your shelf? No is a great time to grabthe audiobook too for just $6.99 on Audible! It's perfect for reliving the suspense on your commute, at the gym, or while you tackle that to-do list. The sale is only through the end of the month, so press play soon. #WithoutATrace #ColleenCoble #AudibleSale #Audiobook #ChristianFiction #RomanticSuspense #BookDeal

@DNicholsAuthor The rate depends on the editor. Some have very high rates but that doesn't always mean good quality. Always check them out before you hire them.

How many of my fellow writers out there have used a developmental editor? What is the going rate to be expected? #WritingCommunity #amwriting

@DoriJeanDill congrats.. that's wonderful

Folded up in the morning paper right on the very first page is my own story! It started as an unrealized idea in my notebook and has now found its final form. So incredibly humbled to finally share this journey with you all📖✨ #AuthorLife #BookRelease #MyStory #WritingCommunity

@ElChandler I don't like planes and prefer not to go boeing , boeing, boeing

Do you enjoy flying on airplanes? ✈️

Good morning, tweethearts. Do you love the sea and the ocean? Are they both the same thing? Sea: the salty water that covers a large part of the surface of the earth, or a large area of salty water, smaller than an ocean, that is partly or completely surrounded by land. Ocean: used in the name of each of the world's five main areas of sea: the Atlantic / Pacific / Indian / Arctic / Antarctic Ocean #OneWordWednesday #wednesday #wednesdaywisdom #sea #ocean

@ChrisC_Writes I agree I made that mistake and my muse went on vacation for months.

Counterintuitive writing advice: Do not let your friends, your spouse, or your family read your early drafts. Relying on casual readers too early forces a raw manuscript to play football without pads. It actively damages your revision process. Disagree? Change my mind.

Are you writing a short story collection? If so check out my latest post jlwallace.com/journal/create…

@DNicholsAuthor Some days I make a lot of progress others days I need a whole pot of coffee and it still doesn't help. LOL

Hey, fellow writers, here's a question... If you were to get a medal for how you're doing with your writing right now, which one would it be? #WritingCommunity #amwriting

@JodyWaxOnWaxOff Feel free to ask questions, I'm happy to help.

@jwpen88 Thank You so much for the recommendation and the encouragement. I will definitely check the book out because I think I need all the help I can get! 🤣

Hi everyone, I'm really excited. I finished three short stories and have three more to go before it'll be ready to publish on Amazon. #writingcommunity #SelfPublishing

Every writer needs this on the door of their office

@ClaireLLLW81 I'd spend the day with my character named Millie. We'd hang out on her back porch over looking the ocean and tell ghost stories; which fits Millie's lifestyle since she lives in a haunted mansion.

If you could spend a day with one of your characters, who would it be and what would you do?

@rebekah_creates I agree

Things I want to see more of in fiction: 🟣 Masculine men 🟣 Universally-relevant themes like self-sacrifice, courage, and love of family 🟣 Actual humor that doesn’t rely on innuendo or incessant swearing to be funny What I want to see less: 🟣 Girlbossing 🟣 Smut 🟣 Grooming
