"Memoir is often less about the events, and more about the mind who is experiencing them. The book that I write about a subject will not be the same as the book that you write. We are our curiosities." ~@Roz_Morris

“Love your work. When you love a sentence, a paragraph, a plot point, a character, a line of dialogue, tell yourself why it works and how you’re going to do that again… Because when your work really sings for you—it’s going to do the same for your reader.” buff.ly/V8Y4FCt #writingtips

Chris McCoy: “The advantage to what we do is that we are not actors. We don’t have to wait around for someone to hand us material that inspires something within us. We can sit down and write the kind of movie we want to see." #screenwriting

"One useful thing to keep in mind is that character arc and theme are always connected. The ending of your story doesn’t just determine what happens externally. It also reveals what the story ultimately believes to be true." ~@KMWeiland

Lynne Tillman: “The whole 'Can I call myself a writer?' question I found so odd, as if it’s some sort of identity that is separate from the actual act of writing. There is no secret password to being a writer. No secret code. You just do it." #writing

“#Writing is more than putting words on a page—it’s about creating a rhythm that keeps readers engaged. Long, flowing sentences can create a sense of immersion, while short, punchy ones build tension—guiding readers through calm and intensity—like music.” buff.ly/jwtsYdb

Craig Mazin: "There’s a point to each scene. There’s a reason that scene exists. I want the scene to have a purpose. I want there to be a takeaway, and I want that scene to drive me to the next one inexorably." #screenwriting

When you arise in the morning
Think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive
To breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

“Give yourself permission to write imperfectly. You can always revise, and you can always write something new. But there is no way to grow unless you start from where you are now.” ~ A.R. Gillespie #writingcommunity

Some days being a writer just means staring at a sentence all day long & deleting & adding one specific comma over & over again while questioning your sanity & life choices🤷♀️. It is what it is🤣🤣

Craig Mazin: "I like to think of characters as struggling with something philosophical. Their philosophy keeps them safe, but at a cost. Then I ask, ‘How could I force them to confront the nature of their own personal philosophy?'" #screenwriting
