Does your inner critic keep you from writing? Are you about to give up on your author dreams? Check out my book that dissects the inner editor with step-by-steps to work thru it. Available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. amazon.com/dp/B0FB4TCDS6 #writingbooks #fictionwriting

"If you can’t get behind decisions you make regarding your work and career, then you won’t commit to them. If you aren’t committed, then you won’t get the results you’re after. Or worse, you’ll experience regret and frustration." Read on KU for more! amazon.com/dp/B0FB4TCDS6

"One of the inner editor’s specialties is comparison. It will learn all it can about other writers, and if those writers are doing anything different from you, it will pester you to change your entire approach." Read on KU for more! amazon.com/dp/B0FB4TCDS6

"As you learn more about creative writing, your inner editor becomes educated too. The more knowledge you gain about writing and the publishing industry, the more stuff your inner editor has to express an opinion on." Read on KU for more! amazon.com/dp/B0FB4TCDS6

“Your inner editor believes that avoidance prevents pain, so it nudges you in that direction. It might suggest that you don’t have what it takes. This extreme approach is a desperate attempt to get you to stop.” Read on KU for more! amazon.com/dp/B0FB4TCDS6 #writingcommunity #writingtips #writinghelp #selfediting

Writers, how do you go about setting goals? Do you give yourself deadlines? Plan weekly, monthly, yearly? Or do you just take it one day at a time until it's done?

Being mindful is realizing how much better you feel when you spend your days actually doing things rather than being a slug. Around 2pm I did a 180 and decided to stop wasting my day. Completed several work tasks, cleaned my house, cooked dinner, and dusted off an embroidery project. My mood has entirely changed from this morning, and this will serve as a reminder the next time I feel sluggish and unmotivated.

If you want to write found family, don't rush the "family" part. Deep conversations, heated arguments, a need to protect each other, and even nicknames...it takes time to develop these. The more time you take, the more invested a reader will be when the shit hits the fan.

I have had too many moments in my life where I've told myself: "Once I get through [blank], I'll focus on [blank]." Somehow that first blank always gets replaced by something else, inevitably delaying my goals. It's an ongoing struggle, but all you can do is figure out the baby steps and take them one at a time. #writingtips

I've been scrolling on here way too long. What am I doing with my life?

@megkeanewrites @wenlovesbooks This is so me. When auto-correct can't help me, I end up using queasy instead 😂

@wenlovesbooks and you know it’s bad when even autocorrect can’t even figure out what you’re trying to spell💀

hi, i’m meg and i can’t spell nuasea

"Comparison can be healthy when done responsibly. This means choosing work at a similar level to yours, in the same genre, for the same audience, with similar voice or point-of-view choices." Read on KU for more! amazon.com/dp/B0FB4TCDS6 #writingcommunity #writingtips #writinghelp #selfediting

As the weekend comes to another end, here's hoping the week ahead has at least one good thing for everyone.

@Matt_Pinner He looks like Batman 😂

My kids got a new pet. What would you call him ?

@Emma_Pinner 6, borderline 7 if you count sleeping in a tent in our living room when I was a kid lol.

I've done 4 and you?

@BookSpotlight It's genuinely scary. Someone asked me why I hated AI so much, and I told her it tries to devalue actual artists and she was all "Pffft, AI isn't going to take over creative art." Um, it's already happening. Keep speaking out. I admire you so much.

REMINDER AS TO ONE (OF MANY) REASONS I AM NOT SHUTTING UP ABOUT GEN AI IN THE BOOK COMMUNITY EVER

@lhallwriter Done, thank you.

I have a new pinned tweet and I'm free for a few hours. If you repost mine, I'll happily repost yours Let me know you did it below so I can keep track and return the favour👇
