MOTIVATION STATION: Avoid the four T’s: texting, tech-stuff, TV and talk. Any one of them stops the writing clock. #AmWriting , #Writingtips , #Writers , #Writers Block, #WritingCommunity , #5amWritersClub (Photo by Lala Azizli on Unsplash)
DEFINITION DAY: The “epiphany” is the A-ha moment, where the protag grasps a concept at last. After, her actions may entirely change from her behavior in the past. #AmWriting , #Writers , #Writers Block, #WritingCommunity , #5amWritersClub

PLOT & WHATNOT: When the protag feels the conflict’s drag, and is being driven to distraction, and she’s being tested (and maybe bested)—you’re in the “rising action.” #AmWriting , #Writingtips , #WritersBlock , #WritingCommunity , #5amWritersClub (Pic: nikko macaspac, Unsplash)
LET’S TALK DIALOGUE: Dialogue’s the one place where you have full permission to use incomplete sentences and repetition. #AmWriting , #Writingtips , #Writers , #Writers Block, #WritingCommunity , #5amWritersClub
MOTIVATION STATION: Night-person? Morning-person? Drop the labels. Just write when you’re able. #AmWriting , #Writingtips , #Writers , #Writers Block, #WritingCommunity , #5amWritersClub (Photo by Darius Bashar on Unsplash)
WRITER’S SUPPORT GROUP: Writer’s block? Don’t watch the clock. Go stream-of-consciousness; write whatever, but write ’til it comes (it won’t take forever). #AmWriting , #Writingtips , #Writers , #Writers Block, #WritingCommunity , #5amWritersClub (Photo by Steve Johnson on Unsplash)
THE WRITE IDEA: Sending your book out? Track where it’s been. Keep organized records of what, where and when. #AmWriting , #Writingtips , #Writers , #Writers Block, #WritingCommunity , #5amWritersClub

DEFINITION DAY: “Ambiguity” leaves outcomes unclear; each reader must decide in her head. Horror, for instance, often ends with us wondering: will the monster rise up from the dead? #AmWriting , #WritersBlock , #WritingCommunity , #5amWritersClub (Pic: Simon Wijers on Unsplash)
CHARLOTTE BRONTE'S BIRTHDAY: “I'm just going to write because I cannot help it,” Bronte said (meaning, if you’re a “real writer,” the process is that deep in your heart and head). #AmWriting , #Writingtips , #Writers , #Writers Block, #WritingCommunity , #5amWritersClub
HAVE SOME CHARACTER: Hold a character in your mind; mentally keep her around. She’ll be more real if you know her before writing her down. #AmWriting , #Writingtips , #Writers , #Writers Block, #WritingCommunity , #5amWritersClub (Photo by Bruce Christianson on Unsplash)

THE WRITE IDEA: Try writing at night, if you’re not too tired—for some of us, darkness is when we’re inspired. #AmWriting , #Writingtips , #Writers , #Writers Block, #WritingCommunity , #5amWritersClub (Photo by Steven Houston on Unsplash)

WRITER’S SUPPORT GROUP: Still an empty page after what seems like an age? As Yoda would say: “A break you must take.” #AmWriting , #Writingtips , #Writers , #Writers Block, #WritingCommunity , #5amWritersClub (Photo by Jimmy Nguyen on Unsplash)

Stir in a problem, heat, and
Write down what happens
