Sometimes it's hard to get over the idea that you have nothing new to offer, but no matter how similar things can seem, everything is fresh from a new perspective. Even as we move through time, no moment is the exact same as the last, and every moment offers new choice. . . . #authorship #authorshipquotes #authorquotes #authorquote #sayingsandquotes #quotesandsayings #authorcommunity #authorscommunity #writercommunity #writerscommunity #writingcommunity #beinganauthor #aspiringwriter #aspiringwriters #aspiringauthor #aspiringauthors #authors #writers https://www.instagram.com/p/B82M4TzgIA7/?igshid=rcy5aithpn62

It's important to refill the well and read at times. When the writing just won't come, reading can bring it back. That said, if you're struggling, you can also write it down and amuse yourself years later when you come across said writing. . . . #flashfiction #writing #writingdialogue #dialogue #dialogueprompts #writingprompts #writingprompt #storyprompt #storyprompts #writestuff #keepwriting #keepcalmandwriteon #writelikecrazy #write #aspiringwriter #aspiringwriters #aspiringauthor #aspiringauthors #writingtip #writingtips #keepreading https://www.instagram.com/p/B5eBZfhggfE/?igshid=qnetfp1vedhx

Just a little bit of profound silliness I wrote once. I think you could carve those two words on my tombstone in some rhyme scheme or another and that would about sum me up. . . . #flashfiction #microfiction #shortstory #shortstories #writestuff #writingprompts #writingprompt #amwriting #writingpractice #freewriting #writerscommunity #readerofinsta #writerofinsta #shadow #shadows #lightandshadow #shadowandlight #profoundsilliness #michiganwriter #keepwriting #writerofinstagram #instawriters #instawriter https://www.instagram.com/p/B5jTJLqA-qQ/?igshid=wdnudge8540r

It's important to have a foundation. Because sand is coarse and rough and irritating. And it gets everywhere.

I don't know why this little snippet amuses me so much, but it made me lol when I wrote it so I had to share.

Just a bit of motivation-reaction unit practice. Also, tonight seems like a good pizza night.

I keep talking about these motivation-react units I practice. This concept is from Dwight V. Swain's excellent book, Techniques of a Selling Writer. The key in the reaction is in the sequence: feeling, action, speech. Follow it, and your readers will be able to follow you. . . . #writingprompt #writingprompts #writingpractice #dailywriting #writingadvice #writingtips #writingtip #amwritingfantasy #amwriting #creativewriting #writelikecrazy #writerscommunity #writerofinstagram #writerofig #fairystory #fairies #fairytale #fantasystory #fantasy #writing #writingcommunityofig #writingcommunityofinsta #fantasywritersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writersofinsta #writeon https://www.instagram.com/p/B7PaZCAAx2Y/?igshid=1tg2hipkozml0
