Attempting to outline a new #romance but when I'm not staring at a blank screen, I'm staring at a blank pad of paper. I'm not ready to put my MC thru the trauma I have in mind. I just want to get to the part where everything is okay. *sigh* #writingishard #writingcommunity

Woohoo! Just wrote 2 more pages for my thesis this morning. Not much I know, but writing is so HARD and I gotta celebrate every little step forward to keep myself motivated. Hopefully 3 more by the end of the day. #NurseTwitter #PhDlife #PhDwork #WritingIsHard #Motivation

10,000 words into this draft and it's not clicking with me. So, I'm scrapping it and starting again. #amwriting #writerslife #writingishard

That moment when you have to go to your stupid #dayjob when all you wanna do is stay home and write #writingishard #amwritingscifi

In November of 2020, I received 3 paper rejections in a 2 week time period. As of today all 3 of those papers have been accepted for publication over the course of the past 3 months. #justkeepswimming #writingishard #timeforbreak

I have an article sitting in my drafts. I don't know when I'll finish it, but I have the ending:

The little victories matter. Recognise them. Celebrate them. Appreciate them. The pictures of huge successes we admire are often mosaics of such little conquests!

I started writing #Olicity fic again for the first time in months.
Fingers crossed.
Unfortunately, only 1 scene and 300 words in. Do better @ me.
#WritingIsHard

Today’s goal: modify 3 sections of my paper. Today’s success: 1 section modified, 1 cake made with 4 yo, 5 articles read, 1 online return posted, & 1 diy fabric bought. #procrastination #phdlife #phdchat #writingishard #phdvoice

Trying to work out a plothole in my book feels like I’m crawling out of a hole I accidentally buried myself in.

Manuscript breakthrough!!

All I had to do was repeat THIS IS ONLY A FIRST DRAFT, THIS IS ONLY A FIRST DRAFT one hundred times a day for the last 14 days.

A tip on #writing #memoir :
When working on difficult or emotional scenes, make sure you have a cat 🐈 around, even if it's not yours.

My most honest blog post yet...when you think everything you write is awful. #writingishard #realtalk #amwriting #amblogging #writingcommunity dianebillas.wordpress.com/2020/02/23/i-d…

I'm a 30-something writer with an Amazon fixation (forgive me). These are my all-time favorite finds.

Did you know that when you write by hand, you write more thoughtfully, and you remember more?

The whole series arc.. eek!

Not sure whether to feel more ashamed or excited - finally submitted the follow-up manuscript to my dissertation work!! Can we just pretend it didn't sit on my desk for 5 years? #writingishard #priorities #academiclife

Was not kidding. Be glad I don't have time for a full photo shoot #51pages #whewchile #writingishard

So relatable, especially when on a deadline
