I wish I had the words on my lips like I have when my fingers catch fire.

Whenever I feel discouraged, I read one star reviews of my favorite books. Sometimes a story came into your life at the right time for you to understand the minutiae, and sometimes a story is not meant for you. A bad review is strangely liberating.

I always see so many 'what not to dos', but writing is an artform and a stage. You have to learn what you can do, what you want to do, and how to do it well even if it's unrecommended. #WritingCommunity

Getting to do math for pricing is making me giddy. I miss math, and I dive headfirst way too fast when I get to do calculations.

I don't want to be someone who ignores the person for the sake of internal values. I don't want to look at someone and assume they're wrong because they don't follow the rulebook. Most importantly, I don't want to be alone in wishing.

I like to think I have no idea what I'm doing. At least with nothing, I can add to it.

I often wonder how my old teachers who taught me how to write would think of the work I do. Do you? #WritingCommunity #amediting

You know that saying "Dance like no one is watching"? Well, I am understanding it now as 'Write like no one will read it.' Because you can't get caught up in other's thoughts when you can't keep track of your own. #WritingCommunity

Do not stray from the story you know. Hold it and do not let the false heart keep you from telling it. In your isolation, you are both the hero and the villain. #WritingCommunity #amediting

I wonder if one day I'll have the knowledge and mind to write their stories. Until then, I hope they wait for me. #WritingCommunity #amediting

I am looking for some smaller reads. #writers who write novellas, leave them here. I want to explore your work. Genre doesn't matter. #WritingCommunity #novella

Sometimes I dont feel like writing. But there's always echoes of introductions dangling in front of me. I pick the first sentence and the rest blooms out like a trainwreck. #writerscommunity #amediting

What's an inspirational quote that has stuck with you? #writers #WritingCommunity

Do you ever say to your brain, "Time to write?" And it just says: #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Do you ever get so entangled with your story that your emotions for the next week are related to what happened on the pages? How do you cope? #writerscommunity #Writer

Getting really bummed out is part of the cycle. I don't know if it's pessimism or realism. Then again, when on the opposite side, you wont be able to convince me that my realism is optimism. Degrees of "I will do this," and "I can't do this." #WritingCommunity #writers

#writers , What do you do while you wait for your editor to get your manuscript back to you? #WritingCommunity

Your first draft is you vomiting your story into life. Editing is translating it so its in the same language you meant to write it in. #WritingCommunity #writing
