Using the same word over and over again in a piece of writing in my mind is kinda like the verbal equivalent of one of those people who constantly add a phrase behind every sentence or comment e.g. “you know what I mean.” or “son”. (Nothing can make your writing sound like shit quicker than doing this.) #thefitgamerchef #thebeardedgamerchef #writersofinstagram #writer #blackwriter #tips #writingtips #words #nerd #geek #gamer #fitblackwoke #cjhavens #blackisbeautiful #chef #fitfam #spirittribe

Camp NaNoWriMo #campinstawrimo challenge day 16: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mondaymotivation writing quote ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have needed the reminder to JUST START WRITING so many times during this adventure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The “no matter what” part became especially important yesterday. Even in the middle of a family crisis when all I want to do is alternate between visiting the hospital and lying face-down on the floor, somehow I have to find the time and energy to write. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although, my characters are currently fighting in the lead up to their Black Moment and the last thing I want to do today is examine their uncomfortable feelings, much less my own. Ugh. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Someone get me some Häagen-Dazs, stat. Thanks. 🖤 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #campnano #campnanowrimo #campnanowrimo2018 #nanowrimo #startwriting #juststart #quotesaboutwriting #writingquotes #writingquote #amwriting #amwritingromance #nomatterwhat #quote_of_the_day #quotelove #writingcommunity #writingtips #writerscommunity #writerscommunityofinstagram #writersnetwork #writingsociety #writersociety #authorquotes #quoted #quoting #romancewriter #contemporaryromance #inspirationalquote #tipsforwriters

What’s a Preposition? Not sure what a preposition is? It’s anything a squirrel can do to a tree: it can go up a tree, it can go down a tree, it can go in a tree or out a tree or around a tree… All those words—up, down, in, out, around—are prepositions.

Do not let writers block stop you from writing! Not everything you write has to be a “bestseller”. Continue to write with your heart and you will eventually write another masterpiece📝 #instawriters #writersofinstagram #writersblock #ebook #futureauthor #freelancewriting #writerslife

When you write your blog post’s conclusion, don’t leave your reader hanging! Close it off with a memorable ending by giving your prospects one last bit of actionable advice. This way, you won’t leave them confused as to where to go next. This can even be used as a call to action to browse through your products or services!

7 Checklist Items for Success in 2019: Goals: Have goals for your life, short-term (daily to yearly goals) and long-term goals (1 to 10-year goals), and most importantly, daily goals. Action: Pledge to take action on every intuition and idea you conceive about your goals during the day. Courage: Have the courage to go the extra mile with everything that you do. Value: Remember that human resources, starting with yourself, are the greatest resources in the industry. Be genuinely interested and enthusiastic about everyone you meet. Invest: Seek to create value in yourself and in everyone around you. Giving: Seek to know what people around you want in life and help them get it. The truth is most people want to be successful, but the key is also to want to help others to be successful. Legacy: Seek to perform more acts of kindness to others and give more in terms of the time you spend with them, the smiles you bestow on them, and the words of encouragement you speak unto them. #wahm #wahmlife #quotes #quote #writer #writers #writersofinstagram #writerlife #writersofig #thrive #freelance #marketing #freelancewriter #blogger #bloggers #blogging #words #writerproblems #writing #girlbossparty #savvybusinessowner #dontquityourdaydream #creativepreneur #mlm #bossmama #momhustle #mombosslife #workathomemom #sidehustle #sidegig
