If you would like to write a book, set a writing schedule every day. Maybe write a chapter every. If you write 20 chapters in 20 days, you will have finished writing your book. #writingcommunity #writingtips #thewritinglife

Having a wonderful day --writing a new Joe Ledger novel and playing with Orion, my adorable grandson (9 months old!). Happy guy. (No actual baby pics online for safety reasons) #writingcommunity #baby #grandson #writer #thewritinglife

I've had numerous writing spaces over the years and live in two places so I have had to do exactly what this article suggests: make myself at home in the very act of writing, no matter where and how it happens. #TheWritingLife newyorker.com/culture/open-q…

I was 32. Broke. Writing my third draft of a script that kept getting rejected. The director,won't say who, but you've seen his work read my pages and threw them on the table. Literally threw them. "You're writing what you think I want. Stop it." I started to explain. He cut me off. "I don't need another writer who can follow instructions. I need one who can scare me. Write something that makes YOU uncomfortable. That's where the truth is." I went home that night thinking he was an asshole. Took me three years to realize he gave me my career. Every time I sit down to write something safe, something "marketable," I hear those pages hitting the table. Write what scares you. That's it. That's the whole lesson. #Screenwriting #WritersLife #Hollywood #WritingAdvice #Storytelling #AmWriting #TheWritingLife #FilmIndustry

Nobody warns you about the silence. They talk about writer's block, rejection letters, the years of obscurity. But nobody mentions the quiet that settles in when writing becomes your life. The hours alone with the page. The conversations you have with characters instead of people. The way you start seeing the world as material, every heartbreak, every overheard conversation, every 3am thought becomes potential sentences. Your friends stop calling because you're always "working on something." Your weekends disappear into drafts. You miss parties, dinners, life happening outside your window. And the strange part? You chose this. You keep choosing. Every single day. Because somewhere in that silence, there's a frequency only you can hear. A story that won't exist unless you write. A voice that dies if you stop listening. The loneliness isn't the cost of writing. Is the condition. Some of us weren't built for crowded rooms. We were built for the quiet and the things that grow there when no one's watching. #Writing #WritersLife #Solitude #WritingCommunity #NoahDaren #AmWriting #CreativeLife #MidnightWriting #AuthorLife #TheWritingLife #Isolation #Art

Someone asked me when writing gets easier. It doesn't. You just get better at sitting with the discomfort. The blank page never stops being terrifying. You just stop running from it. That's the whole secret nobody wants to hear — it's not about talent, it's about how much uncertainty you can tolerate before your brain begs you to go do something else. Anything else. The ones who make it aren't the best writers. They're the ones who stayed in the chair. #Writing #WritingCommunity #WritersLife #AmWriting #WritingAdvice #IndieAuthor #CreativeProcess #NoahDaren #AuthorLife #WritingMotivation #TheWritingLife

Don’t know the exact status of the Canada Post strike but it has created so many problems. I am having journals delivered to friend’s homes in the USA now. Remembering the time when a huge package of around 40 books was sent to the wrong address. I had to call customer service for weeks , finally fetching them myself from the post office. #writerswoes #thewritinglife

Trying to write longer poems again. Good god I am so verbose 😂 Each sentence a mouthful of words. How I manage to write haiku I don’t know. #thewritinglife #poetsofX
