Anyone have any November writing goals?
I’m going to try and finish my WIP. I’m at 45,000 words, and I estimate the first draft will come out ~65,000 words.
It’s not as daunting as writing a whole novel in one month, but it’d be great for me.

Hey, fellow writers...
What made you want to get into writing? Was there a book that inspired you or were you always a storyteller? Does it run in the family?

my fanfic writing mood goes from “wow this is so good, I’m a wonderful writer” to “this is the worst fic in the world I think I need to shoot myself why would I post this” and there’s nothing in between
A quiet scene can reveal more about a character than an entire chapter of dialogue. Sometimes what goes unsaid is the whole story. ✍️📚 #WritingCommunity#AmWriting
Instead of doomscrolling, you can read these craft books to improve your writing:
1.The Elements of Style — Strunk & White
2.Bird by Bird — Anne Lamott
3.On Writing — Stephen King
4.On Writing Well — William Zinsser
5.Story Genius — Lisa Cron
what is the science behind being like “yay! fanfic writing time!” and then writing two sentences and losing focus and having to switch to doing something else but still wanting to write fanfic
Since I’m terribly disorganized on #FF how about this. If you’re in the #WritingCommunity looking to find others, leave a gif and let’s all follow one another! (And no shame if you want to get to 100 or 1000 or 1000000 followers. You do you. ☺️) I’ll start! #amwriting
Writers, isn't it amazing how fictional characters can feel so real?
Some stay with us long after the story ends 🖤
Which character you've created means the most to you?

ever since ive been medicated ive been uninterested in fandom and it makes me think of how much of me writing fanfiction turned into a coping mechanism of idealizing a life id like to live. idk i dont have the urge to obsess over things as much now
Writers, what’s one writing tool or app you couldn’t live without? 👀 Word? Scrivener? A notebook held together by hope? 😂 Tell me what you use and why you love it. I’m always curious about what helps other writers get those words down!

Writing is the superpower of humankind. It is our truest form of magic.
Writing allows you to conjure up something of value where nothing previously existed. It costs little for you to write down the lessons of your life and yet those few minutes spent writing can be life-altering for the right reader. As I once saw it put: "there is someone out there with a wound in the exact shape of your words."
Furthermore, writing is the foundation of nearly every technology and innovation because we have to record what we know before we can build upon it. And these innovations are passed down from generation to generation, allowing our children to inherit a richer intellectual fortune than what we were born into. The world is richer because we write and nobody is made poorer in the process.
