Moral imbalance drives the story. This imbalance should affect you emotionally already in synopsis form. #writingtip


There are two conflict types that works well in a story. A good side fighting a bad side. And a good side causing unintentional harm to themselves or somebody they care for. #writingtip


Morally charged situations evoke emotional responses in the reader. #writingtip

Writer culture is hiding the fact that you don't drink coffee because all writers must drink coffee. It's like a rule or something.

5 year old me: *dreams of being a dragon* 16 year old me: *dreams of being a writer or actor so I can tell stories for a living* Current 22 year old me: *desperately wants to be financially stable because in this capitalist society dreams are only for those who can afford them*

There are three things that can carry a plot: Surprising twists. Moral dilemmas. And serious stakes.

Me: I’m going to get a ton of revisions done this morning. Computer: I need an update. Me: Ok. I’ll do it tomorrow. Computer: No! It must be now! Right now or I will explode & destroy everything! Me: Fine! Do the update. Computer: Cool. This is gonna take about an hour.

OMG this. 😂 Being a writer is writing a joke and having to wait two years to see if anyone laughs. #amwriting

Chocolate from the Russian Embassy to victim of poison attack. My writer's imagination runs wild. #writerslife

If you visited her I would think that the flowers you brought her, or chocolates, and the get well card, would be about as welcome as a leaking bucket of vomit. And don’t come near my door handle either.



If you think of your story problem as a knot rather than a conflict, a bunch of new plot possibilities reveal themselves. #writetip


A plot imitates an action. But what is an action? This is the question that literature explores, in all nuances and facets. #writetip

Hey discouraged writer...the one thinking about giving up. Don’t. Your words matter. #amwriting #writerslife


When posing a number of problems for your character, let her solve the last problem posed first, and the first last. The problem posed in the beginning of the book is solved by her in the ending. #writetip


When rereading last week's work, the trick is to stop for a biscuit just before your blood sugar levels drop to 'every single word of this is worthless.'
