"When I'm writing, it transports me to into another place, a place where time moves differently. Each word fills in a piece of the puzzle and the story." - Wrtr #amwriting Be #Writing #Writer #Author ~ I don't always know where the story is going. A love/hate thing.

This is the whole problem. People think “there are no rules” is empowering—but it’s a trap. It’s like telling a beginner guitarist, “Don’t worry about chords, scales, or rhythm—just play whatever you feel, and don’t let anyone make you feel bad about your artistic voice.” That’s not freedom. That’s neglect. Writing is a skill. Like music, dance, or painting. You can learn it. You should learn it. And yes—there are rules. Not arbitrary ones. Objective ones rooted in how stories work on readers. Learning the craft doesn’t erase your voice. It amplifies it. So yes—you might be an inferior writer right now. That’s not an insult. It’s just the starting line. You get better by learning the structure and principles that make great writing work.

It happens to a lot of authors. Some more than others, lol

It's that wonderful time of year when people start going all political post-happy. This was one of the main reasons why I left pretty much all of social media. And I won't think twice to mute. So sick of it!!

Don't spoil a perfectly good bowl of sticky white rice with anything extra thank you

Note: a block quote between every other paragraph = I'm not reading all these block quotes, just give me the post. Lesson: just block quotes strategically. Anna preferably keep them less than 2-3 lines long, or it defeats the purpose of being a "quote." #blogging

Don't write for other people, #turtlewriters. Write for *you*. Write what *you'd* want to read. If you enjoy/love what you write, that enthusiasm will come across in your writing & it will engage readers one day. But all that matters is *your* passion❤️for it. ((hugs)) 🙂🐢🍀
