Asked AI to translate Buddha's Four Noble Truths as if Steve Jobs was doing it:
1. "Life has bugs"
2. "The bug is wanting the wrong things"
3. "You can debug this"
4. "Here's the patch" Buddha was basically a UX designer for consciousness 🧘♂️💻

My first time in Scotland. The countryside is magnificent. Edinburgh is magical. It's like time stopped here somewhere in the previous century. Loving every second here except it is COLD. My god it is cold. No matter what anyone says, 13 degrees is NOT SUMMER. 🧊😅 – at Edinburgh, Scotland

🚨ATTN: QUERYING AUTHORS🚨
Querying is hard.
No, seriously, it’s HELL.
It’s the WORST thing you’ll EVER have to do as an author. Even if you leave your agent and have to query again, the second time is immensely easier. Anyone who says otherwise is lying to you. 🌝

There's no way I can do this all in a single Twitter thread, but I at least want to cover the basics as to how a writer goes about structuring a novel. Whether we're talking about outlining, writing, or revising, the following are some ways to build out your manuscript. 🧵

Should you write for the market?
@VS_Antoinette: "It’s always better to write the story that you want and not what you think agents or publishers are looking for. I can often tell when a book is written purely for the joy and love for the craft/genre."

In the manuscripts I edit, there's a HUGE difference between those that were written with an outline and those that were completely pantsed. Having an outline makes revision so much faster and easier, but what's the best way to make one? 🧵

This news, 17 years in the making, and it has taken sweat, grit, love, and patience. Thrilled to announce that my debut novel "The Garden of Delights" will be published by @flametreepress in 2024!!!
Magical flowers, angry automatons, Indian myths meet Miyazaki.
I finally buckled and bought an HBO subscription. And it's the best ten dollars I've spent in a while. OMG. These shows. Now I KNOW what I was missing.

Trying to plot a thriller. Send help. This stuff is hard. My respect for thriller and mystery writers has exponentially grown since I started my own process. How do you all do it? And so well. 😭😭 #WritingCommmunity
