In honor of her birthday, here is some encouraging advice from @AnneRiceAuthor:
"Keep going. Remember that you must finish the novel for it to have a chance in this world."

Fellow SFF writers, I found a trip to the aquarium with the kids to be surprisingly inspiring. Lots of weird/beautiful stuff in the deep. Worth a try if you’re in a rut. Check out the colors of this urchin. No filter.
Anyone else have mixed feelings on exclamation points!?! There's an interesting article on it by @emmabgo in today's NYT. It "is to grammar what a Red Sox fan is to baseball, insisting it’s the underdog yet coming out on top, spilling its beer on your lap in exaltation." Enjoy!

"Read everything—trash, classics, good and bad; see how they do it. When a carpenter learns his trade, he does so by observing. Read! You’ll absorb it. Write. If it’s good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window." - Faulkner (it's the curmudgeon's birthday).
I forgot this line from the end of Charlotte’s Web: “It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer.” Made me think of all you supportive folks on #WritingCommnunity #writerscommunity #writerslift
Writer friends, I know some of you are working on projects that fit this wish. You can do it!
Replying to @ericsmithrocks
I'm looking for genre-blending literary fiction, stories that give us something magical or speculative alongside prose that stirs up FEELINGS.
Perfect examples: The Night Circus by @erinmorgenstern, Here & Now & Then by @mikechenwriter, Station Eleven by @EmilyMandel. #MSWL
Writer friends, just another reminder to check out #MSWL today for Manuscript Wishlist Day! Even if your MS isn’t ready, always good to know what currently interests agents. #WritingCommnunity #writerscommunity #writerslift #writerlift #amwriting #amediting #writerslife #writers
