Where do you get writing inspiration from?

Anyone else always keep a book in their backpack or an ebook ready on their phone?

I agree! I absolutely love reading anthologies, seeing everyone's different take on a theme or topic. This one has been amazing to work on

Did you hear about the anthology I'm putting together? Did you know you can follow it on Kickstarter?

I only have 9 days left to figure out if I'm launching this #kickstarter in October or postponing until February! I'm all ready to go, but I need to know if people are interested ❀️ #booksky youtu.be/IC_0388qmxc?...

Are all of those currently on your tbr? (Not judging β€” I have like 50 πŸ˜… just wondering if all of them are there to choose from)

Absolutely! Devastating but crucial for the plot πŸ˜…

I've been chipping away at this book for about a month now. It's a collection of essays and I really enjoyed it, just finished it today. On to the next one!

This has probably already been shared, but it's a big one:
Don't give anyone money to represent you or publish you. Those people are con artists. Agents work for a percentage of your book contract, and their asking for money up front means you should run.

Read Widely Read widely for inspiration. You never know what exactly will inspire you. I’m a bit of a mood reader, but I’m also pretty open to reading a bit of everything. You never know what exactly is going to inspire you, what will stand out to you. Also, I love looking back at novels I’ve written and being able to pull out specific pieces that were inspired by what I was reading or even watching at the time.

I always like to read widely, and I it benefits my writing too! #writersky #booksky

Please be aware that disinformation is rampant on social media.

Deep fakes are possible.

There are no guardrails or checks and balances.

The algorithms reward and amplify outrage.

There is no shame or honor.

Empathy is mocked.

Nuance is suffocated.

It’s a cesspool.

My Poetry is Myopic, and OtherΒ Introspections I am nothing if not self-aware, and it’s awful. Everyone has blind spots in their writing; it makes editing your own work almost impossible to do well. While there are a lot of tips and tricks to help you combat this, in the end, the best thing to do is have someone else take a look at your writing. If you have the money for it, editors of all flavours are always a great resource.

Is your writing myopic too?

Community Evangelist Recently, I discovered the job title β€œTechnology Evangelist” while looking through the names and titles of a few presenters on a virtual conference I was debating going to. I had never heard of that job title before, so I decided to do a deep dive into it. At first glance, the name itself seems self-explanatory; but was it as simple as described?

What would the term "Community Evangelist" mean to you? #community #canadian #booksky

What a wonderful initiative to celebrate #Canadian authors! Every voice adds a unique thread to the tapestry of storytelling. I can't wait to see the magic you create! πŸ’–πŸ“š #booksky #books
