@demimschwartz The calm before the storm is often the most unsettling part. 👀 That anticipation and tension can keep readers turning pages long after they meant to stop.

I got the first half of chapter five drafted. Such a fun, theatrical, and unsettling one. It’s the calm before the storm when you know the storm is going to hit, but you’re unsure when, so the anticipation is crackling. 🕰️

@demimschwartz Chapter 5 and over 14k words already? That's fantastic progress. 🖤 The gothic vibes from those emojis alone have me curious about the story.

Chapter five of my YA gothic thriller is 3,171 words. My new total word count is now 14,380. 🖤🥀🕰️

@christinastriga You are wlc we should probably talk more on your Dm

@sandrainkwrites Good to know. Thank you 😊

I need an editor for my novel. Anyone available? Dm me please for the details. 🙏🏼

@gigachadhuzz Now I'm curious what book did that to you? The best books are the ones that leave you emotionally wrecked and immediately searching for another one.

update: just finished the book. bawled my eyes out, snot and everything. need book recs that has the same effect😝 #please

@Pro__Author When you're no longer improving it, just changing it. That's usually the point where it's ready. 😊

How do you know when a manuscript is truly ready to publish?

@christinastriga Not quite 😊 I'm a beta reader rather than an editor. I enjoy helping authors spot things that might confuse readers or areas that could be strengthened before the editing stage.

@sandrainkwrites Are you an editor?

@LukeRosenWriter Happy Birthday! 🎉 Starting your first novella on your birthday feels like a pretty great gift to yourself. Wishing you lots of inspiration and a strong start this morning. 😊

Hoping a little #5amwritersclub work on my birthday will help kickstart this first ever attempt at a novella. #amwriting #amediting

@DNicholsAuthor I feel like that's a sign you care deeply about your work. The hard part isn't finishing the edits, it's knowing when the story is ready to leave your hands.

I've come to the conclusion that when it comes to editing, rewrites, and polishing, there is never a time when I say THERE, IT'S DONE! I have to force myself to stop or I could keep going eternally. It's addicting!!!! #WritingCommunity #amwriting

@BenBerwickGB If you ever need a beta reader when either project is ready, I'd be happy to help. 😊

Cracked 43,000 words on one current WIP. Nearly 30,000 on another. Today has been a day of inching along. #Amwriting

@BenBerwickGB Honestly, that's still great progress. Every finished book is built one small step at a time. 43,000 and nearly 30,000 words is a lot to be proud of. 😊

@Gavrusik So relatable 😭 Every time I get back into writing, I wonder why I ever stopped too.

Every time I start writing again after taking an extended break, I ask myself why the hell did I stop in the first place? I'm gonna make sure to reread this daily! #amwriting #writing #writerslife #writingcommunity

@kellyab33 @amazon 41 reviews is nothing to sneeze at 😄 Congratulations! I hope those next 9 show up sooner than expected.

YAY! My 41st @amazon customer #review for my debut #memoir Killing Justice! Just 9+ to go until Amazon considers me a real #writer, lol...

@JonKenna0000000 70,500 words of blood, sweat, and tears sounds about right Congratulations on reaching the finish line. Finishing a novel is no small feat. Enjoy the celebration, you've earned it! 🎉

Celebrating tonight. I just finished writing the novel I started almost exactly a year ago. 70,500 words of pure blood, sweat and tears. Done and dusted. #writing #writer #author #books #reading #publishing #fiction

@PJReed_author If only writing came with a button that turned chaos into completed manuscripts. For what it's worth, the fact that you're still working on them means you haven't given up on the stories, and that's what matters.

@sandrainkwrites If only 😂

✨Weekly Writing Update✨ Well, this week multiple new books have been started. Every book I am now writing is a different genre and age group. It’s absolute chaos in my cafe corner! #writer #auhd

@HJames_Writes I love this approach. 😊 It's a great way to finish the stories that matter to you while giving your readers more of what they've been waiting for. Wishing you the best with the rewrites!

I wrote under Jupiter Rose for the longest time, but I've grown as a writer. I have book series I want to complete, but I don't write like that anymore. My plan?! I'm rewriting the ones I want to continue and putting them out under Harley. It will satisfy my need to complete them, and it'll give those waiting more to read. 😍🙌

@JoeyWingster 3,400+ words in a day and a finished short story? I'd feel powerful too Congrats on finishing it. Looking forward to seeing it posted!

Wrote 3,400+ words today and finished my short story at a little under 5,000 words. I felt very powerful today lol I'll get this story posted over the weekend. #writingcommunity #amwriting

@SAEEDIB59126157 For me, it depends on the story. Some deserve a clean ending, while others are stronger when they leave you thinking long after you've finished reading.

In a short story, do you favour a closure with the ending  neatly tied up, or do you prefer an incomplete ending with the denouement left to the reader's imagination? Your comments please. #WritingCommunity  #Writerslife  #Authors  #Writers #Readers

Being an author is trying to figure out which of your many files marked FINAL DRAFT is the right one… #indieauthors #authors

@heather_wohl That's great news! Congratulations 😊 Finding the right editor is such an important step. I hope you connect with someone who helps elevate the story while keeping your voice intact. If you need any help along the way, feel free to reach out.

Thank you all for the recommendation I really appreciate that, I already see a beta reader, now I need an editor if you are interested or you have any recommendations I will be down for it. #WriteChat #authors #BookLive #bookclub #writers #IvánCepedaPresidente #editor #bookbstie

@Enosedeba That hook alone makes me want to know what happens next. 👀 It sounds like a story that asks some powerful questions. If you're still looking for beta readers, I'd be happy to read it and share honest feedback. 😊

Three people. Three locked rooms. Seven minutes to midnight. An Eternity of Dawn is a layered story and it asks, what are you holding onto, and why won't you let it go? I'm looking for beta readers. I'd love your honest review #authors #betareaders #books #writingcommunity
