I want to post little blurbs from my writing, but Im not sure whats appropriate. Say I want an agent, editor and publisher to take on my book would posting little blurbs ruin that chance? Any legal aspects I should be made aware of? #jrlynette #authors #writers #writingcommunity #writerproblems #writethebook #writerslife #writingnetwork #writingtools #writing #helpawriterout #followthewriter #help #question #blurb #literaryagent #editor #publishing #writerscommunity #writersofig #writeaway

Finally got myself an Instagram and Twitter for this #writerslife I want to pursue.

Pens. I prefer to write with the use of pens to get my stories onto paper first. In other words aside from collecting notebooks, I horde pens. Lately, I've been testing out pens I've never previously tried before to see if I can find one that fits my needs better. Since I've been writing a lot, I've been going through a lot of pens: either they are running out, drying out, smudging everywhere as they won't dry quickly and/or breaking! Help a writer out! What are some of your favorite writing tools to use and why?

When a dream inspires another section of a book or entirely new WIP 😍

Running through the woods because everyone else's life depended on it. I'm always doing what everyone else needs of me. My left hand aching from clutching my half of a teardrop-shaped white labradorite stone. There's a crack echoed by a splintered wood vibration. Halting mid-step to listen in. I walk carefully around the crunching tree's towards the sound, stopping when the cause is in eye-sight. My breath failing me as I try to slow it down to a whisper.......

Well, I can't go into much detail that would just ruin it. ;)

When you stumble upon a coloring book page, and the whole background of a character unfolds before your eyes. 🙊

Ps I made SNHUs president's list!!! Basically I kept my 4.0 all terms and got a reward. 😁

My finals are in... As!!!! This includes my History final!!! So much closer to my English and Creative Writing degree!

[writer-jrlynette]

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I found myself in the middle of a plot twist. Originally there were no plans of villains aside from Sylvie the ex-best friend, then in the middle of writing Borris, Larry and Nemesis show up. Now I gotta hurry up editing my history final so I can write my favorite characters out of trouble they found themselves.

[writer-jrlynette]

New character shows up. Who goes there?! I’ve never seen you before!

“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.

[onewordtest]

“Unless you are following the dialogue with an action and not a dialogue tag.” He took a deep breath and sat back down after making the clarifying statement. 

[joehywheelah]

“However,” she added, shifting in her seat, “it’s appropriate to use a comma if there’s action in the middle of a sentence.”

[tenoko1]

“True.” She glanced at the others. “You can also end with a period if you include an action between two separate statements.”

Things I didn’t know

[prismatic-bell]

“And–” she waved a pen as though to underline her statement–“if you’re interrupting a sentence with an action, you need to type two hyphens to make an en-dash.”

You guys have no idea how many students in my advanced fiction workshop didn’t know any of this when writing their stories.

Reblog to save a life

[virtuous-thing]

I love how easy it can be to learn stuff like this through tumblr and not through school.

[writer-jrlynette]

I officially have a villain in my WIP. Thank you, Borris, for being a brown nosing shit head at work giving me inspiration. (Not his real name just the characters lol)

[writer-jrlynette]

Finally bit the bullet and made a Facebook Author page! Butterflies in my stomach. 

[writer-jrlynette]

Where is your favorite spot to write, the place where you are most inspired? Mine? The shower of course. My husband now brings my notebook, pen, and an extra towel if he notices I forgot them. Must be used to me yelling for them. haha

[writer-jrlynette]

Had a snowstorm around 24in so far, and it’s still snowing. Finished another chapter in my WIP though. Take that winter!
