Write. Just write. Start. And read as much as you can. Read widely and read different things, and sometimes while immersed in the multitude voices of others, you just might find your own.

“Writing became such a process of discovery that I couldn’t wait to get to work in the morning: I wanted to know what I was going to say.” – Sharon O’Brien

A short story is a love affair, a novel is a marriage. A short story is a photograph; a novel is a film.

As authors, I think we all worry, about what we write, but remember no one can tell you what to write or how to write. Always remember how you enjoy your writing is up to you. In 2020, you get to decide. -Wrtr #amwriting Be Writing.

Everyone fails and learns. It’s those that do and see it as a challenge that gain from it. The ones that can’t wait to try again. This is especially true about writers and authors. -Wrtr #amwriting Keep Writing. ~Learning is a part of where we grow to succeed in writing.

Write your first and even your second draft without worry. Remember it is the story itself that is all important to get down first. Things will evolve later, including the story, and the edits. Keep outside change notes.

Writing is sort of like hugging a tiger, you don’t know if your writing will hug you back or eat you.

I don’t think writers should be worried about treading any lines between autobiography and fiction. You should write whatever you want to write. Once you label it fiction, it’s fiction, even if you give the protagonist a feeling you’ve felt or your same hometown. All fiction is born out of some alchemy of observation, imagination, and personal experience.

To begin impatiently is the worst mistake a writer can make.

You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quite still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
