“The fact is, I don’t know where my ideas come from. Nor does any writer. The only real answer is to drink way too much coffee and buy yourself a desk that doesn’t collapse when you beat your head against it.” ― Douglas Adams

[Vonnegut] could play around so much because he had the mechanics and architecture of language and writing firmly under his belt. Freedom to fool around comes with mastery.

There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.

There’s a prickle on the back of my neck when I’m not writing, an unanswered-message feeling. Because the story is waiting.” —Sarah Gailey”

"People spoke of being completed by love, but Claude already felt complete. She was complete on girl-days, and he was complete on boy-days, and they were complete on the in-between days. Claude's life was full enough without True Love.

Yet that was a problem for everyone else."

- Early to Rise (No Man of Woman Born) by Ana Mardoll.

So write, write, write, write...

Yesterday I managed two paragraphs, but they were long ones. Sometimes you do what you can do, but do something!

This above all: ask yourself in your night's quietest hour: must I write? Dig down into yourself for a deep answer. And if it should be affirmative, if it is given to you to respond to this serious question with a loud and simple 'I must' then construct your life according to this necessity.

This is how you do it: sit down at the keyboard and you put one word after another until it's done. It's that easy, and that hard.

Happy New Year, Writers! Did you read author Sue Lynn Tan’s Pep Talk this November? It’s a great reminder about ways to find wins in your daily writing. Read the full Pep Talk here!

Image description: A green background with illustrated pink flowers, with text that reads: “NaNoWriMo: “Celebrate the one good line you wrote that warms your heart or the hard paragraph you churned out of a scene you were dreading, the words written whether fifty or a hundred. They are all wins, all another reason to be proud of yourself, each one a step forward.” —Sue Lynn Tan”

Sue Lynn Tan writes fantasy inspired by the myths and legends she fell in love with as a child. Born in Malaysia, she studied in London and France, before settling in Hong Kong with her family. Her debut Daughter of the Moon Goddess was published by Harper Voyager, with the sequel Heart of the Sun Warrior coming out in November 2022. Find her on Instagram and Twitter @SuelynnTan, or on her website www.suelynntan.com.

Happy December everyone! November was a solid month of writing - even with the holidays - and met the 10,000 word goal! Some days (and weeks) were more productive than others, but we made it! Here's to another 10,000 words for December, more lore posts, a completed first draft, and going into the New Year with just as much energy!

"The imagination is infinite--it can encompass all you want it to encompass, if you let it. Everything we see around us, whether functional or decorative, once existed in someone's imagination. Every building, every fixture, every chair, every table, every vase, every road, every toaster. In fact, the world we live in is largely a manifestation of many individual and collective imaginations applied to the task of altering preexisting reality. So the question becomes, How can you position yourself to dream well?"

The amount of terrible writing that I have isn't a measure of my writing skill, but an attestation to my determination as a writer.
