Hey Writers,
I am going to a writing conference in January and it’s the first one for me since college.
Tell me your favorite tips and tricks to get the most out of it.
I plan on attending a couple of panels and workshops, but what else?

Happy long weekend, writers
#writingcommunity
I can already tell this draft is going to be much better than the last one
But I can also tell it’ll be a whole lotta work
#writingcommunity
Graphic audios of books are simply awesome
It’s like merging a book and a movie
just got me a keyboard and a laptop stand and I feel like a writing Pokemon who just evolved
#writingcommunity
Writing makes me happy
Studying writing makes me happy
Talking about writing makes me happy
Making writer friends makes me happy
But also my day job makes me happy
When I thought about multidiscipline, I never thought it would spread sheets and dragons

Sentient shadows
A strong FMC
A love story
And a magic market

So my brain decided yesterday that sleeping is for weaklings, and I couldn't sleep until 6.30 in the morning. I am running on 3 hours of sleep, a weird nightmare, caffeine, and female rage
Writing this book is the best and worst thing I have ever done to myself

Sentient shadows? ✅

A girl with a quest? ✅
Read pt. 2 of “At the Market of Shadows” here

So 38 people read the first part of my short story
Look, ma, I’ve gone viral😂
I love writing sentient objects
Taking facial expressions from the equation provides such a nice challenge
Also having a shadow with a personality is very fun for me

One downside of being in the English writing community is that they all meet on US times, meaning most writers' meetups start at 1 am Cairo time.
I never thought I'd be bested by timezones

Here is to ✨manifesting✨
Wrote a draft
Hate it
This is harder than writing the book itself
Wikihow to write a synopsis to your own book without losing your shit #writingcommunity
I wrote 1660 words today after three weeks of writers block. Please clap
#amwriting
This has turned into “if I write x number of words in my current WIP, I will let myself research the new fun shiny WIP that I want to start”
I am paying off one credit card with the other but in writer language

Plutarch Heavensbee wasn’t just a man on the inside
He played Snow
He played Coin
He knew both were tyrants and played his cards right that he directed Katniss to end both their reigns
Plutarch was the brains behind it all

Sure, let’s revisit the hunger games again and spot everything that has a history with Haymitch and break your heart
I decided to watch the hunger games movies again because I hate myself apparently #sunriseonthereaping
Do I send scholastic my therapy bill? #sunriseonthereaping
Suzanne Collins made me ugly cry #sunriseonthereaping
