Ever write a main character that did NOT share your political views? #WritingCommunity

Can you write if another person is in the room? Or do you have to be alone, with the door locked, curtains closed, and noise cancelling earbuds blocking out the smallest sounds?? #WritingCommmunity

I’m hearing that YA is an oversaturated market. Which is no good because my book is YA 😡 #WritingCommunity

Once you become a bestselling writer, will you… A: Go on a book tour and meet your loving fans? B: Change your name, hide in a mansion, and never go out into the public again?

Now that I’m writing again, I can only read a few pages of a book before I set it aside and think, “well, that was interesting, but time to write my own story now.

Is it ok to use AI to write a query letter? Not the book, but the query letter?

As a writer, do you think it’s more important for a beginning writer to learn plot, or focus on sentence structure and grammar? #WritingCommunity #amwriting

I write YA fiction. Is it better for chapter 1 to start slow and build up at the end, or should it just drop right into action? I don’t want to jar the reader with too much too soon, but I also don’t want to make them bored 🥱 🤔 #writingcommunity

You get one very rare book for free. Which are you choosing? #writingcommunity

I wish I had the brain to write high fantasy. Like the really good stuff with big worlds and deep cultures. I enjoy reading it, but as a writer, I’m still learning how to make it happen. #WritingCommunity

Can you think of a famous writer that did not receive a college education? #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying

If you could include a mythical person or creature in your book, which would it be? Someday I’ll write a pirate story, and Davy Jones will be in it, though my version would be less Disney and more horror. #books #writingcommunity

Sometimes when I buy an old book from bookstore, I wonder if I’m the last person on earth who’ll ever read that story, which is kind of sad. #books #writingcommunity

Do like it when an author includes their photo in a book? Or would you rather not know what the writer looks like? #publishing #amwriting #writingcommunity

Nothing like writing chapter 31, then realizing because of how the story ends, you’ll have to rewrite the entire book 💀 #writingcommunity #amwriting

How do you avoid going insane while waiting to hear back on query letters? #WritingCommmunity #amwriting #query #amquerying

I wish writing books was only about writing books and not building a platform too. I feel like when I focus on one of those tasks, the other gets neglected. #amwriting #writingcommunity

I’ve reached the point where I don’t feel like ever writing another word again. Yet at the same time, a really cool story idea is taking shape in my mind. Being a writer is…complicated 😅. #WritingCommmunity #amwriting

I love twist endings! What’s a book or movie with a twist ending you didn’t see coming that made you rethink EVERYTHING about the story? #writingcommunity #amwriting #book #movie

I’ll be voting for the president who establishes a 1 week holiday of completely undisturbed writing so we can finish our books! #writingcommunity #amwriting
