Multi-faceted characters bring your readers back to you and your writing. Develop all facets of your main character in your writing, you may not use it all in your book, but there are more books to write. #amwriting Writing.

On Books: “I want them to be available, I want them to be read, I want them to be argued about, I want people to cry over them, I want people to get angry with them, I want people to love them”.

-Ursula K. Le Guin

If you are having a tough day writing or a tough day getting to your writing. Know that you are not alone. We all understand. Hang tough. It’s a struggle sometimes. -Wrtr #amwriting Keep Writing. Be Writing.

The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum was rejected for publication so many times that he kept a journal called ‘A Record of Failure’ made up of all the rejection letters he received. It’s now a book that has never been out of print. NoGiveUp. #amwriting #amediting Keep Writing.

Always carry a notebook. And I mean always. The short-term memory only retains information for three minutes; unless it is committed to paper you can lose an idea forever.

It’s really sort of amazing when you think of it, all the reasons people write. It’s like stars under the sky. I think for all of us it’s that thing where we can be free and find ourselves in our writing. Write well. Be the author you want to be. #amwriting

Be what you want. Don’t ask for it. Don’t hope for it. Don’t wait for it. Be it now. Being a “writer” is not something that happens when you sell your first book or land on a bestseller list. It’s a state of mind. It’s who you are. -Jess @JessicaBrody #amwriting Be Writing.

Only two professions allow you to know it all – creative writing and journalism.

On Monday your beat his religion. It changes to History and International Politics on Tuesday. On Wednesday you are redeployed to another beat – maybe crime. On Thursday, your beat might be Education and on Friday you might be writing about Science and the Ozone Layer. On Saturday, it is the Stock Exchange and Sunday, you might write about Culture, Language, and Heritage.

That’s why writers and journalists hardly have a stable life. Our brains don’t really settle – they work like a clock.
