An #ISSUE blooms like thorns in velvet air
Riddle carved on the mirror of flame
It hums a storm within crystal cage
A labyrinth woven from silence & blame
River bends beneath unseen weight
Yet constellations carve a hidden gate
And the issue dissolves into dawn’s light

Writing is that one thing that you can do for yourself, that costs nothing, that raises your spirits and the story is yours. - Wrtr #amwriting ~ Whether you decide to publish or not is up to you, but writing is good for the soul. ...Be Writing. #author #writing #writer

Even if I am never published.
Even if I look like a failure.
Even if my writing never reaches beyond my circle.
Even if my dreams fall short of completion.
Even if.
I will still write what is in my heart. If I bless even one person, my mission will be complete.

“One of the things everybody seems to want to ask writers is, “Where do you get your ideas?” When people ask me this, my usual response is, “Ideas are the easy part. The hard part is writing them down.” - Patricia C. Wrede #amwriting Be Writing. #author #writing #writer

Most people who say they want to write a book never do. If you’re sitting on an incomplete draft & struggling to reach the finish line, you have a choice:
Give up & send your book to the ms graveyard, or be one of the few who can say they’ve written a book.
Which do you choose?

Beware the isolated protagonist who moves through a narrative without any friends or confidants. This is difficult to pull off without impacting depth of character.

If your protagonist is drifting along with the plot and not driving it, readers will have a hard time connecting with the character and becoming immersed in the story.

Somewhere out there, a reader is waiting for the story only you can tell. They don’t know it yet, but your words will change them. #WritingCommunity

Good question to ask. I like finding out in real time as I write. Makes the character much more relatable.

This is one of the more fun things about writing characters. Their relationships with other characters and tension/conflict. Personalities clash and disagree. Fun fun fun. And I think this is when readers will see more of the real Travis Knight

Treat your readers like detectives: drop hints about context, backstory, motivation, emotion, but otherwise let them come to their own conclusions. This gives readers a stake in the story.

As a developmental editor, my job is to help authors find the true heart of their story.

To write you have to have #stories you want to tell, you have to keep your mind alive, and work hard.

Exactly. This is best revealed in internal monologs, in my opinion. As if they were having a side conversation with the reader. Better insight into the character we might not otherwise get.
Descriptions can reveal character. Ask yourself why would your character describe things they see or experience in that matter?
Because word choice in descriptions and prose can reveal their mood, socioeconomic status and even their beliefs.
