Sharing an IG reel of a story my grandmother once told me about living in London in the 1930s. My next WIP is an historical fiction with magical realism inspired by her life. See this Instagram video by @robin_brooks_writes instagram.com/reel/DAoaCKcRi…

Recently, the lovely Nicole Opdenbosch and I connected over writing, perseverance, and why you can't polish a turd. Episode out now on Writer Unblocked on Spotify.

Nuts!! Thursday, January 16th. This is why I don't work scheduling important things like surgeries and flights.

This is a clip from my taping with @reignitewithnicole for her podcast Writer Unblocked. Have a listen to why I was relieved when receiving rejections from agents. Podcast broadcast date will be Wednesday, January 16th. I listen to Writer Unblocked on Spotify.

@glimmer_ann As you should be! Shaving away those unnecessary words is vital.

@r_brookswrites It is such a satisfying feeling! I've edited away almost 3000 words from just the first 8 chapters. So proud of myself 😃

Fun fact: When writing, you celebrate as the word count increases. When editing, you celebrate as it decreases. 😅 #WritingCommmunity

My posts are usually doom and gloom, because, well…querying. But I just received the nicest request ever. I’m using it as inspiration to keep going.

@sanchez_m_m It can be so hurtful. One's audience might not be family members but they should fake support at least!

@r_brookswrites Exactly! Especially when they can't be bothered to read the work to determine if it has merit/appeal or not...

My older sister told me she only has time to read “good books” (not mine!), so a spiteful little part of me wants to become a wildly successful author to prove to her that my stories are good and they are worth reading. What about you? #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying

In 2013 I told a close (published) friend she'd inspired me to write but she said not everyone can do it. She refused to read my work. I stopped being her friend a few years later and wrote my first book out of spite. Anyway, I'm more successful than her now. Don't challenge me.
