Apparently, according to my husband who patiently put up with my 4 hr visit to the Met yesterday, the correct reaction to seeing priceless art is not: "a murder during an art heist is definitely going in my next series". Also, I'm supposed to remember there are other people around me that don't know I'm an author, and that's not normal museum conversation 🤷‍♀️. . . #romanticsuspense #authorlife #romanticsuspenseauthor #bookstagrammer #katebreitfellerbooks #bookinspiration #booklife #authorproblems #mysterybooks

Been working 60 hour weeks for too long but hopefully I can finish this damn book today 😅 My Turn has been 95% done for a month, so it's time to get serious 😈 If I have one of your arcs, I'm gonna get to them. I'm so sorry 😭 Work is killing me. #indieauthor #bookstagram #authorproblems #indiebooks

Write a book they said. It’ll be fun they said. Listen, no one warned me my stand alone was going to become a duology. And then become a seven book series to solve all the plot lines I created while daydreaming. No one told me my standalone historical AU was going to become a trilogy while I made coffee this morning. No one told me one middle grade fantasy mystery was going to turn into ten while I slept last night. *stares into the distance at the catalogue of 40+ books I now have to write before I die* Who thought any of this was going to be a good idea? I demand to speak to management. #mariellataylorauthor #author #authorlife #authorsofinstagram #writer #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writerproblems #authorproblems #bookstagram

Today's editing theme was brought to you by my mug. I still plan on getting a new book out by the end of the year, but man, I am just not feeling the self edits. Thankful I have a great editor and beta readers to help and who are patient with my constant schedule slippage. Someone will not be giving themselves a good performance review this year..... #writersofinstagram #author #indieauthor #authorproblems #writerproblems #amwriting #editing #bookedit #newbook #2024release #thriller #horrorauthor #ghoststories #darkfantasyauthor #fsfwritersalliance #writingcommunity #authorcommunity

Welcome to the corner of the internet where I let you in on my sometimes chaotic and often illogical writing process. Here's what I got going this week: 📚 Struggling with marketing book one 📚 Book two needing heavy edits 📚 Trying to tweak the plot of my work in process. What's my plan? What's my answer to all of this? Staring another work in process 🤦‍♀️🤣 But I gotta tell ya, I'm loving the main character snark in chapter one 💙💙💙. #authorangst #authorproblems #plotholes #workinprogress

Help me brainstorm! I need a little extra something for my main character so she won't seem "flat"! She needs a highly motivating reason to keep wanting to go home after she's been trapped in a magical fairy world with her friends. I think she needs a secret wish to be a ... Or a fun hobby that she can't let go... Or love for her parents... What ideas do you have?

Anybody else's brain cluttered with story ideas? I have tons of them and have started writing half of them, lol. I've even finished writing some of them, but they are number 3 in a series or something silly like that so I can't publish them yet. For me, writing is such a creative outlet. Some authors aren't sure what to write or searching for a good idea. I am wishing there was a pause button on the idea machine. Any of these stoke your curiousity? I'm occupied at the moment, but based on the pictures, which story would you want me to write next?

Wednesday Writing Update! This past week was TOUGH for writing. I was away from home for two weeks for vacation and then job training. (Both were really fun, because I have a pretty dang cool job!) Now I am back home and figuring out the rhythm of life now that I have officially started my new job! I am still hoping to have an outline by June and then start the first draft!

One of the best tips we have for new authors is to find a community of authors. Being around a group of people on the internet or in person who are engaged in a similar task can be very benefical. It gives you someone to bounce ideas off of and give you encouragement when you need it. #aspiringauthors #aspiringauthors #writing #fantasybooktok #scifibooks #scififantasy #aspiringauthorsoftiktok✒️ #booktoks #booktok #booktoker #writingtipsandtricks #writingtips #writersoftiktok #writingcommunity #writingcommuniyinstagram #aspiringauthorsofinstagram #authorproblems #authortips #authorsofinstagram📚

Lots of personal stuff happening behind the scenes here over the last several days. Some good. Some bad. I haven’t decided whether to share it on social media because I’m still processing/recovering, but I am talking about it in my newsletter, which you can sign up for by using the linktree thingy in my bio. I send my newsletter out once a month, and the plan right now is to send the next issue out on the first, so pretty please (with chocolate sprinkles and a cherry on top) sign up for it if you want to learn more. 😉 #authorlife #writerlife #authorproblems #newsletter #life

Anyone get into an all-or-nothing headspace?😬 What about a "if I can't realize it my exact way then it's all dumb and deserves to be thrown away" headspace?🙃 What about a "if I don't do it perfectly in my plan it could fail so why start?" headspace?😜 Yes, those are all variations on the same thing. 😉And all of them can hamper your author biz progress. 🖋️And I absolutely get it, because I was about to abandon a worthwhile project because the changing publishing industry made my Grand Vision impossible. So I had to sit with myself. And decide if I could do it a new way. And decide if that could work for me. Then I figured out a way it could, remember my last sesh with my business coach, and things moved forward once more (deets coming out in my author help newsletter). 💥Your stories are worth too much to give in to despair. Do things your way, Make changes. Shift your perspective. Do necessary pivots. Yes, take breaks if you need to (I'm planning on a summer of deep research and binge reading). But keep moving forward and do what you can. You don't have to stay in that headspace - yes, even if you're neurodivergent, there are ways to work around it. Because I do get around it (and my brain is quite special). 👉If you need expert guidance on those pivots, DM me or leave a comment to hop into a coaching session. Go forth and be awesome.🔥

Well done, team! The vote for which bookplate style you like best went smashingly! Interestingly, the top two vote getters were both the simplest versions but otherwise kind of opposite of each other. Hmmm. How can I use this to psychologically profile you? I can't. I guess I'm keeping my day job. Which is good, because I love it. Anyway, let's choose a winning bookplate. If I were sending you one of these, signed, to put in a book you've bought from me because you love me--I mean, IT, you love it--because I am not my work (*laughs nervously and glances in direction of therapist*), which bookplate would it make you happy to stick inside the cover? #authorproblems #bookswag

Seriously, when I get stuck writing it's an action scene about 90% of the time. Logically I know about taking breaks and not ending up burned out again...but it can be hard to convince my brain that it really is OK not to be capable of the pace I used to have. I check my sales dashboard very regularly (it's almost a habit)...I still think I will intuit what readers want from it 🤣 but that's energy better spent on pretty much any other writing-related task. And old me used to be able to buckle down and finish projects quickly when I was in the home stretch or it was short. And now...nope! If I only I could remember that when I'm planning out my projects 🤣 #indieauthorsofig #fantasyauthorsofinstagram #iwritefantasy #authorlife #authorproblems #amwritingfantasy

Someone once said that the main reason Agatha Christie's books still endure and are so loved is not just because her stories are so interesting, but because she had a deep understanding of human nature and what drove people to behave the way they did. I try to make my characters fit into personality groups, (my favorite resource for this is 16personalities.com) but I don't always dig deeper into the psychology behind it. I need to do better at that. . #novelwriting #writingislife #writingtips #authorproblems #authormotivation #authorcommunity #authorpreneur #creativewriter #authorhelp #authorlife

We love a man trying to lighten the mood 🥰 I made my first big character cut yesterday and I am Not Okay. He was a new character, and certain structural changes to the story meant that he no longer made sense being where he was. But he's important later, so now the trick is figuring out how to weave him back into the plot closer to the point of relevancy.

Saga o Autoconclusivo? Inanzittutto  bisogna specificare  la differenza : In una saga la storia è composta da vari volumi che compongono  la stessa storia Nell' autoconclusivo la storia è  composta da un unico volume Personalmente non mi preoccupo da lettrice che la storia sia raccontata in uno o più volumi purché sia coinvolgente  e trainante. Da scrittrice d'altro canto se stai decidendo di intraprendere la stesura di un romanzo ti consiglio  di iniziare  da un autoconclusivo, fatevelo dire da chi ha iniziato da una trilogia. Perché? Semplice vi posso elencare almeno tre motivi: 1 perché  è  più facile concludere il romanzo 2 se stai pensando di inviare il tuo manoscritto ad una casa editrice o utilizzarlo per un concorso, avrai  più possibilità di essere preso in considerazione dall'editore. O,  nel caso del concorso, che segua tutti i requisiti richiesti 3 sarà più semplice lavorarci, visto che avrai meno trama e sottotrame da tenere sottocontrollo La mia esperienza : Ho scritto una trilogia che era nata dall' idea di un autoconclusivo, ma avevo talmente tanto da dire sui miei personaggi e sulla storia che avevo ideato, che proprio non c e l'ho fatta a stringere tutto in un unico volume. Ho pubblicato  in self con la voglia di far conoscere  la storia il prima possibile, ma poi quando ho deciso di proporlo ad una casa editrice ahimè ho scoperto che le case editrici non prendono saghe già  iniziate di scrittori emergenti. Conto di dedicarmi ad autoconclusivi in futuro, perché ho bisogno di un periodo per riprendermi 😵‍💫 Scrittori in ascolto, voi preferite scrivere saghe o autoconclusi? . . . #writertok #writermum #writerproblems #writerlife #writing #writermemes #writersofinstagram #writerpov #authorlife #authorproblems . . . #authortok #fantasyitaliano #fantasybookstagram #fantasylover #fantasyauthor #fantasybooks #fantasyreads #fantasybookseries #fantasybookrecommendations #mutaforma . . . #romanceauthor #scriverechepassione #scrivereunlibro #scrittoriemergenti #scrittoriitaliani #darkfantasyauthor #darkfantasybooks #darkromantic #romatasy #romancebooktok

I apologize for how inactive I have been over the past couple of weeks. I have had so much going on, between setting up my book launch for The Murder Society, directing a new audio series, my new position as acting consultant at the local theater, my office renovation and the fact I have 2nd degree burns on the bottom of both my feet! I have had my hands overly full and haven't had much time for writing. But today I have finally sat down and pumped out a couple chapters of my new novel, with my newly arrived author copies of The Murder Society behind my laptop as a reminder of what I am working towards. ~~~ #fyp #fyp#foryou #foryoupage #trend #trending #viral #viralpost #author #authorlife #authorproblems #authorcommunity #writer #writing #writingcommunity #newbook #busylife #director # #directing #filmmaker #projects
