Screenshot your top Spotify playlist: Do you even listen to music when writing??
There no easy way to say this: Writing is just making notes after we argue with ourselves in the shower
Someone needs a cuddle
I want you to laugh at me: joker I want people to laugh at you: troll
Now, many ages on, his skin weathered by stars and dust and the wind of the verse turning he held the Tarian in his hand with more than a hint of distrust. Much had been decided by this thing. Many lives spent to keep with its 'time'.
I’m 50 and I’ve never felt or detected a ‘vibe’. Honestly, I’m not even sure I know what one is. What colour are they? Do they come in multipacks? Are they dangerous to people with allergies? Am I out of touch?
I really need to check the seplling on some of my replies and posts, it’s atrocious. I should be amashed
When I lose something I think about where it could be and manifest it. I visualise the location, the items adjacent to it, how it got there, who put it there etc. All in minute detail. I take time, I put energy into it. And then I go look for it and it’s not there.
Sorry but is there anyone who hasn’t won or been mentioned in the #50PreciousWords thing?
Do you want me to change your life forever?? Put your McDonald’s hash brown into your muffin You’re welcome ☺️
How ‘clever’ is your book? Is it just trashy fun? Is it a thrilling escape? Or have you said or tried to say something important?
The acolyte rose, the gold falling from his hands. His mouth was twisted and his face screwed like that of a dog. He shrieked, a piercing, painful sound. The sound ripped into the Stranger and the heavy curtains that separated the chambers tore in two.
You're about to be eaten by cannibals; what do you want to be served with?
My 7yo saw a spider in his ceiling, he’s slightly phobic. I tried to humanise it by calling it Dennis, and saying that Dennis just wanted somewhere warm to spend the night, that he just wanted to be friends. 7yo: I don’t like Dennis. Dennis can sleep outside
What did he know of holding him naked and hot from his mother’s womb? Of holding him covered in piss and filth and sobbing from night terrors? What did he know of mending his bones and pulling splinters and loose teeth? Of winding him with tales of old and ancient things?
For any of you going in tomorrow’s rapture, say ‘Hi’ to my Dad. He’ll be the one looking disappointed

i love when i visit my tiny nieces and nephews they greet me as if i am the most important person in the world everyone should always be greeted the way my 2 yr old nephew greets me when he turns and sees me across the room.
I'm not crying over a review of Umbra 🥹
@DBrowningPaine I got an offer for a client manuscript we sent out last March as one recent example
The thing is, other writers’ opinions (mine included) are biased bc we often judge things based on our own preferences bc we MUST back our own choices. Organic readers are your target audience and they’re open to a variety of things. Listen to organic readers, not other writers
@DBrowningPaine I have no idea what you mean 🙃
Did I just crank out a 3k word outline for my next WIP containing every single detail from start to finish? Maybe… 😏
@DBrowningPaine @mobinfiltrator It's considered blasphemy (and therefore a swear) in several cultures, even those you'd think of as relatively securlar
@DBrowningPaine @Nickyshearsby22 It's not boastful. Everybody else in the world is selling everything from Yodeling Pickles to Finger Puppet Sets and Edible Glitter and Snow Tires and Cat Butt Tissue Holders and knitted wool Potato toys but we can't sell books? Sorry--we're going to sell books. Read it & weep
On the scale of Andrew Tate how gay are you?
I grew up in a council house. We had no car and I ate free school meals. I've grown up to be middle class, I guess. Yet I look around me and no one I know started with as little as I did. Give me a shout out if you fought against the odds for a better life! #writerslife
What's the most haunting line you've ever read in a piece of literature? Something that stays with you like a shadow.
We are just writers, standing in front of agents, asking them to pick us instead of the 8 dysfunctional raccoons in a trench coat that seems to have managed to get FOUR AGENTS WITH THEIR DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES I MEAN WHAT THE HELL???
@DBrowningPaine Excel is actually my preferred medium... ....don't tell @powerpoint 🤫
🎨 This, folks, is why you pay real artists 🎨 Suck on that, AI. Such incredible work by Joe Requeza. First of three internal illustrations for The Fall of Selvandrea.
My 7yo saw a spider in his ceiling, he’s slightly phobic. I tried to humanise it by calling it Dennis, and saying that Dennis just wanted somewhere warm to spend the night, that he just wanted to be friends. 7yo: I don’t like Dennis. Dennis can sleep outside
@DBrowningPaine It’s an adjective in real life, but a verb in this joke.
LIVE DISCUSSION Tomorrow on my channel I'll be joined by my friend @Johanna_reads to chat about epic fantasy in the current reading climate, the explosion of subgenres, and why epic fantasy is still important! Come hang out with us and join in the discussion! 7pm CST (🔽🔗)
Is there anyone here who sits at their day job and wishes they could be writing/creating instead? Because that's me. Constantly. It's so depressing sometimes. :(
