I've started a new blog that will follow my journey re-branding as an author after a long break. I would really appreciate some reposts to spread the word! ❤️ #writingcommunity #writer #author paperwindows.blog/2026/05/02/how…

When you ask a writer a simple question… #writingcommunity

The writer version of “boys will be boys” is that we will lock ourselves away from society for extended periods of time, talk to ourselves, may or may not be under investigation for our search history, have deep knowledge of the most random things… and I’m here for it. #writer

Me: Reaching for my YA fantasy dystopian novel that is SO successful that I'm SO proud of, which has a special spot on my bookshelf because it's so elite... Me: Remembering that I haven't actually written it yet #writingcommunity

Let's vote on whether I'll actually finish this book! 😃 (Vote no so I can prove you wrong) #writingcommunity

Do you use Pinterest to organize project "vibes", or is that just me? #writingcommunity

@JenFaithAuthor Same here!!

@rynn_mansman Starting and stopping are both so hard for me. Once I'm on I could go for days.

Pretty much. #writingcommunity

@BranwenOShea That could be it! I read so much as a kid that I can’t even remember!

@rynn_mansman Did you read a lot as a kid? I did, and a lot of the books I read were English classics. I think that’s why I do this.

Starting to think I'm actually English deep down and not American, because why do I keep learning that I'm using English spelling variations for everything?? (ex. grey instead of gray, likeable instead of likable...) It just seems way classier 🥲 #writingcommunity

A small reminder. Using AI to write your books is like saying you're a master chef because you ordered takeout and plated it fancy. You're still not a chef, and you're still not an author.

@LexiHeathermoor These people need to get a life 🤦🏻‍♀️

🚨SCAM ALERT🚨 Maybe you guys have seen this, but it was new to me, so I thought I’d share. Someone I follow and have several mutuals with DM’d me saying they mistakenly reported my account and told their friends to as well for fraudulent activity on a profile that “was a lot like mine.” They said the account was changed so they couldn’t find the real one anymore, but if I didn’t contact the X support staff with an appeal, they’d be shutting down my account and putting an IP ban for future accounts. Had fake screenshots and everything. I blocked them before they could get to the next step in what I’m sure would be something destined to hack my account, but it was looking like they wanted me to contact someone on Discord. Because I’m sus by nature, I dug into it, and it turns out there were posts about exactly the same thing from other people. So, I blocked and am moving on. Just be careful out there, y’all. These scammers are getting creative. ❤️

@RachelCGoodhand Aww 🥺🥰

@rynn_mansman No. The stray dog in You Were Summer has my MC.😊

Does your MC have a pet? #writingcommunity

Do you outline your books? #writingcommunity

@DavidAtkins75 Thats actually the only reason I ever drink! I feel like it makes me able to interact with people better 😂

@rynn_mansman Yeah, until I have four beers.

Would you say you fit the “introverted writer” stereotype? 🧐 #writingcommunity

@RachelCGoodhand ME

@rynn_mansman I'd say I am an introverted writer... who's good at acting. As soon as I'm off the clock and home alone...

@davidjhammaker Same here!! I once had an outline end up being 17,000 words, I get very detailed… 😅🫣

@rynn_mansman Outlining! I like to know where I'm going. A bit more worldbuilding, too, which always feels like an indulgence.

I won’t be able to write this weekend due to some end-of-semester assignments, so I need to live vicariously through other writers… What are your weekend writing plans?? #writingcommunity

@JoeyWingster Honestly, fair.

@rynn_mansman Yeah. If someone isn't more interesting than writing to me, I don't make time for them.
