I’ve always dreamed about traditional publishing, especially as I’ve never had the funds to get myself off the ground to self publish.
However, I’ve seen a lot of argument that self publishing is better and less stress, lately.
What are your opinions? 👀

my mutual friends of twitter, I’m writing my first draft and I’ve got 66,000 words in and I’m stuck, what do you all do to get through that chapter you just can’t seem to get past?
Please don’t like my things to get me to do it in return ( yes, my moodboard ) and then unlike it once it’s been done?
That’s disgusting behaviour. Especially as were meant to be supporting other writers.
Those that do this will be automatically blocked and posted on here.
well, that's 90,000 words for my WIP. I cannot believe I've made it here -- I've always dreamed of hitting this word count and today I proved myself wrong when I said I didn't have what it took after dropping out of university.

✨ ANOTHER SIGH
I planned for my fantasy novel to sit around 100-120k. And I’ve realised I’ve messed up my pacing because it’s gonna sit around 150k.
There’s going to be a big cut in draft two. 😂
Anyone else had this happen?

When someone says a piece of short fiction I wrote is “too filmic” what does it mean? There wasn’t any feedback after that so I’m a little stumped. I wanna understand so I can change it.
I’ve been having really bad imposter syndrome this last week or two. I’m just staring at my novel begging for the words to come and when they do…I hate them. 😭🙃 I’ve took some time away, but damn…I can’t even write anything else either.

I hit 100 followers finally. It seems so small but it’s a start! 🥹 as a writer it’s my dream to turn it into a full time career one, has been since I was a teen. Thank you for everyone whose been supportive and helpful. You’re all amazing

I turn 29 tomorrow, help. The last year has been one of the hardest. While nothing extremely bad happened, a lot went wrong.
So — 1 year to complete my before 30 goals as below.
Finish Blood & Prophecy.
Start querying.

ITS INTRODUCE YOURSELF TIME.
I’m Billie, 29 years old, UK & she/her. I’m currently writing my debut novel (romantasy) 📖 I’m a former singer/performer. And used to work as a party rep in Tenerife. 😂👌 SJM fan.
Looking for writing pals. 💖
can we bring back
#WritersOfTwitter
again? i would love to meet some new writer friends (& hype up the ones i’m lucky to know already) so go ahead and (re)introduce yourself! 👀💕
I’m coming close to finishing the fantasy novel I’ve been working on and I was worried as i didn’t have my next book lined up to work on. WELL, got into bed and now i had the next fantasy story planned and all the lead characters. 🥹 sometimes it just strikes.
#WritingCommunity
If you’re going to be negative and attempt to bring other writers down because you think you have to be published to be a writer, don’t bother, block me. Because I’ll just block you.
People like that discourage so many people and feed into imposter syndrome.
#WritingCommunity
And I'm back to writing a lot. I'm currently at 84k after a word cull on Blood & Prophecy. And I'm in the outlining phase of a romance novel about a movie director. Gaaaah. All the things.

Another account blocked for their attitude. Bye bye. I won’t deal with pessimistic, rude or a sucky attitude. Out of nowhere they’re commenting on “what makes people a writer” — someone sounds bitter to me.
Do most people hate love triangles in Romantasy? I’ve noticed so many people saying they hard swerve or DNF books that have it in? 🙃 my book has a love triangle, but ugh, I can’t make it work any other way for a reason.
#WritingCommunity
Thank you so much for everyone's advice on when you get stuck, I've managed to get over a 1,000 words done in the last hour for my wip; blood & prophecy.
Can't wait to share with the world my story about curses, war, vampyr's, witches and curses.

Thank you for all the kind messages, i’m being kept here tonight too until they can determine more on my condition. 💖 so I’ll be reading books and on/off here.
home today, thankfully. With all this time, i’m going to be re-outlining the final chapters of my book. and then looking to finish it by the end of Feb, i think. 🥹💖
I am struggling with my world building. I’ve realised I’m awful at talking about / describing building types, architecture (I need to do more research) in a fantasy world.
How did you do you research and decide for your fantasy novels?

3,000 words out today, I'm quite happy with that seeing as I had a little bit of a block for a while there. Gotta start believing in myself more and comparing myself to other writers.
Anyone else guilty of this?

To have book 1 & 2 finished for my trilogy (if it sticks to three… 😂) and work on my other WIP.
Manifesting that it finds some people that love the characters are much as I do. 🥹❤️
tonight i have to bleach my hair, and get it ready for a job interview on friday. same job and place i left five years ago and regretted leaving about 5 minutes after. 😂 i’m so nervous because i want it so badly.
Seeing as I spend 20-40 hours a week writing, I’m proud to say I’m dedicated and I never ask for anything free unless it’s offered. So we can put that to rest. ❤️
Gyms are getting so expensive. 🙃 the government always talking about wanting healthier this and that. So why is the community gym going to cost me £70 to join…!!!!
My B&P
#WIP
is at 94k right now with a bit to go. But I’ve already found around 10k that will be scrapped in edits. 😂 it’s mad how much I’ve learnt from actually sticking to one WIP instead of 6 and never finishing.
So close I can taste those words “the end”
#WritingCommunity
Just finished watching Queen Charlotte: Bridgerton.
My heart breaks for that story, but I loved it. Seriously, truly loved it. An unbreakable love. It was...gorgeously done.
Started my game of thrones re-watch through ( don’t trust Hannah made me do it 😂 watching her videos ) and it’s defo research for my own novel because they very much align in terms of partial world building.
@kwfostertweets
Some of the authors in this comment section are just as rude. 😂 maybe you’d make the perfect match for this agent. 👍 if you feel this is directed at you, it probably is.
I decided to keep writing while I had the fever, and I just hit 76k which is just maddening. I've been waiting for the next wave of writing to hit me and it's finally here. We're so close to the end now guys. My dream is so close.

I will never change to make anyone happy, an agent, or a publisher — if I think you’re wrong, I will say so. Simple as, and if that’s too much for you? Find someone ‘easy’.
That’s means you settled, I’m willing to challenge the norms, are you?
