The best thing that's ever happened to my writing was that I kept writing. Second best was that I read like a maniac 😂

A public school teacher had her students write "Said" on a piece of paper and burn it, chanting over and over again "said is dead"! Said is very much NOT dead. XD Great advice, Noah!

Nooooooo! I LOVE said. If anyone says to write otherwise, I'm forced to mentally ask, "Well," *sigh* "Who's going to go and teach Jerry B. Jenkins and Stephen King a lesson then?"

I admit I'm probably emotionally charged in defense of the word.

love the part where you see if the writer is slowing you down then it’s time for you to get a new writer. 🤣

Boy did I need to hear this today, even as someone who has been writing for years! Today I talked in a similar vein over on THE CRAWL SPACE, but it was still good to have a fresh reminder from an outside source. Just let the writing flow, obsess about the stories, not how well its going to do or how its getting done. Passion will lead into productivity.

“Hi! Yes, I would like to return my writer.”

“Of course, is there anything wrong with it?”

“Um, yes. I need a new one”
