@Carolinerebisz I finished the first draft of my second novel last night. Congrats!

Just finished the first draft of my 11th book - how did I ever get to that number!!!?! When I started this journey I decided to write a book and now I have written 11.

@AFeranmi51972 Thanks! This was my first attempt at a crime novel. It was a lot of fun!

@moose11198 Congrats 👏🎉 What genre do you write??

After a long time away, my brother came home from Japan and brought me some cigarettes (I’m not a smoker), among other things. I also just finished the first draft of my second novel. It’s been a good day #writing #firstdraft #manuscript

@ValerieSirenko That’s amazing! I’d love to have something published one day.

Man, last April I submitted my first ever short story to a magazine, and now I've published 3 stories and spent Friday chatting with Neil Clarke at Clarkesworld Magazine 😲 Never stop growing 🌿🦾📚✍️ #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

@mikeshackle That’s a great title.

In case anyone is wondering, I am working on a fantasy novel. The working title is The Song Of War and it's at 40,000 words at the moment. So a third of a way there. Hope to have it finished by the end of summer.

Japanese currency is beautiful (and is now a bookmark for my current read: A Prayer For Owen Meany)

@ebthornwriter Me too

I desperately want to find a critique group but why is it so Hard

@jflWrites Why don’t more people write by hand these days?

When drafting/editing, do you save chapters separately, or do you keep all of the chapters in the same document? I'm working on FREE tools for indie authors and need to know how y'all spin your words. #authors #writers #PayItForward

Hey, fellow writers... Share the first line of your WIP. GO! #WritingCommunity #amwriting

@DNicholsAuthor Me too!

@moose11198 I love that movie!

Let's have some fun... Name a movie with a writer in it. Mine: Something's Gotta Give Your turn! GO! #WritingCommunity #amwriting

, you write great books, and the make bologna sandwiches.

@TJHall81 Welcome to the club

And just like that another rejection. Sigh. Well that's me done for the night. Fed up. Kind of demoralised. I'm going to lick my wounds and come the fuck back again. This game is really meant to break people. Good night people.

Haven’t done a GIVEAWAY in awhile, so here you go…next weekend I will pick 1 random winner and send them a free signed and traycased limited edition of Gwendy’s Button Box by STEPHEN KING & Richard Chizmar. All you have to do to enter is Follow me & Repost this note. Good luck!

@tonyhenandez790 Finishing up my second book on this old IBM

Any writers on here? 👀 If you write books or novels, let’s connect, I’d genuinely love more writers in my circle 🥹

I always think of this quote on memorial weekend.

@DNicholsAuthor In part, yes

Okay, fellow writers....be honest. Do you judge a book by its cover? #WritingCommunity

@Gabino_Iglesias I love that book

I’m not a big rereader because there’s no time between work/editing/reviewing/writing. That said, I read Ito’s Uzumaki every October and go back to books when I’m working on something and the voices won’t shut up about it. It means there’s something in there I need to read NOW…

@Gabino_Iglesias Your posts are my favorite on social media. Thank you for your continuing positivity in these dark times, Mr. Iglesias

We all need an occasional reminder, so listen up. Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.
