Do you have any questions about preparing to write a novel? Writers, how do you go about it? For me, I’m a planner. I have everything thought out and prepared before I start. That means that at the beginning of a project (*right now*) I spend a lot of time sitting, thinking, and writing notes by hand as I play around with ideas for character, plot, conflict, etc. So, you will continue to see variations of this from me for the next little while. So, feel free to send me or ask me questions about the novel planning/writing process, and I’ll answer them over the coming weeks! #writing #amwriting #novel #novelplanning #writingadvice #authoradvice #writingtips #indieauthor #authortips #authorssupportingauthors #writerssupportingwriters #fantasyauthor #fantasybook #fantasytbr #indieauthorsofinstagram
When an author is querying literary agents, silence is definitely not golden. A non-response rejection is the equivalent of being hung up on via cell phone. There’s no loud slamming down of the receiver to make intentions obvious, but that silent nothingness somehow manages to convey a message loud and clear: Thanks, but no thanks.

Read caption! ⬇️ Helpful writing tips/advice I've learned while writing a book pt. 3! I've been working on making these posts for a couple of months now. As I was making this new mini series, it's helped me reflect on what I've learned and how much I've grown from the time I started writing at age 11 to now. This will be a one month long series that I will be doing (from today, May 13th, 2024-June 11th, 2024). I hope you get something out of these posts. Now I'm sure you're wondering why I recommend using some of your own experiences as character backstories. Well, it's quite simple. Readers will connect, care about, and relate to your character's MORE if they seem human-like, rather than make-believe people in a book. However, I'm not saying to take everything that's happened to you and put it into your characters' backstories. I'm talking about one or two events and then making up the rest. Why should you care about this? Well, if you want your book to sell and have people actually enjoy reading it, then you should make an effort to create your character's like actual humans. Your characters are essential to the story. So why not make your characters interesting? #writingtips #writingadvice #writingcommunity #teenauthor #creativewriting #characterdevelopment

I'm over it. I refuse to subscribe to the idea that the market is limited and we're all fighting for readers. I reject the idea that you have to 'force' yourself to produce and 'push' yourself past your comfort levels in order to succeed. I don't believe that writing is a solitary exercise that should only invite others in to tear down and criticize. I will never tell you there is one way to write, one set of craft rules to follow, and one way to show up to the page. Nothing pisses me off more than the toxic hustle culture narratives that insist your worth is tied to your word count, that there's limited space in the world for successful books, and that if you don't follow a specific path or fit a certain mold then your writing isn't valid. Sound refreshing? Liberating? DM us ANTIHUSTLE to get our 🔥FREE🔥 masterclass Anti-Hustle Writing Life.

✨Stars shine brighter against a dark night sky✨ Your character’s personality, motives, and goals become clearer when there is a good foil to provide contrast. 🤺 Q&A: Who is the foil for your MC? ✍🏼 Contrary to what some may believe, foils aren’t always the antagonist of the novel. They don’t always have to be the dark and evil to your MC’s light and good. 🎭 Foils can be: ✅ The Rival/Nemesis ✅ The Other Side of the Same Coin ✅ The Friend in a Dynamic Duo Writing an interesting, well-developed foil not only engages the reader in your narrative, but also adds another layer of tension and conflict for your main character’s story arc. 📚📝 #authorgram #authorsofig #betareaders #creativewriting #fiction #indiewriters #igwriterscommunity #queerwriters #novels #storywriting #shortstories #writingtips #writers #writersofig #writingprompts #writingadvice #writingtools #writergram

In this week’s newsletter, I share my 5th Tip for Creative Growth: Collaborate with Nature - and take a walk!🍃 Many of us who spend our days reading and writing tend to be indoorsy types: we like curling up on a sofa with a blanket and a mug of something delicious and forget that there’s a world outside. That mode definitely has its place – certainly in my world. But I do think that, if we can drag ourselves out every now and then, if we can allow ourselves to tap into the creative energy of the natural world, our bodies, hearts and minds will take on richer dimensions and our writing will become more alive: we will grow creatively.🍃 In this newsletter I look at what writers like Robin Wall Kimmerer have to teach us about how we and our creativity are deeply connected to nature and about how walking can allow us to access a rhythm that opens up our creative thinking. There’s also a writing prompt that will encourage you to get outside and some lovely book recommendations by champions of writing, nature and walking. I hope you enjoy it. 🍃 You can find the newsletter by following the link in my bio or by going to: www.virginiamacgregor.substack.com With love - and keep writing, Virginia🤍 . . . #walking #writing #writersofinstagram #writingprompt #writingadvice #writingworkshop #robinwallkimmerer #bradingsweetgrass #writingwild #writingcommunity #writerssupportingwriters #authorscommunity #authorsofig #authorsofinstagram @braidingsweetgrassbook @parkhere @xeroshoes

✨ How to write characters that captivate? 📖 ✅ Create engaging character arcs, tracing their journey of growth and transformation. From flaws to triumphs, arcs add depth and resonance. 🌟 ✅ Make sure character development is integral to the plot; they should drive the story forward. 📚 ✅ Dive deep into internal conflicts; moral dilemmas and inner demons add complexity and depth.

Pyromancers divine the future through fire. Necromancers conjure the dead. But technomancers? They use technology to control magic. When you’re crafting a rich world where technology and magic combine, they can be a great addition to the story. As you write about technomancy, it’s important to concentrate on three aspects: the source of power, the limits of power, and the cultural impacts of its usage. The power may come directly from each person and be channeled through a piece of machinery, or the power may be inherent in a technological object and can be wielded by either any user or a specific one. Next up is defining limits on how much technology can affect magic and vice versa. If everything can be solved with someone’s powers, then there can be no tension in the novel. Therefore, you need to put constraints on the magical/technological system. Finally, consider how the system affects culture and society as a whole. How does technomancy affect the world socially? Economically? Morally? Build your world around those effects. . . . . . . . . . . . . #Technomancy #WritingTechnomancy #Technology #Magic #BlendingTechAndMagic #MagicTech #Fantasy #SpeculativeFantasy #FantasyRomance #HighFantasy #UrbanFantasy #YAFantasy #Romantasy #Bookworm #Bookstagram #BookLovers #WritingTip #WriteTip #WritingAdvice #FantasyReads #Editor #BookEditor #FictionEditor #FreelanceEditor #IndieEditor #EditorsOfInstagram #EditorForHire #EditingLife #BookEditing #FantasyEditor

HERE’S HOW👇🏼 A GREAT first chapter can make or break your book. Here’s THREE ways to ensure your readers keep reading after Chapter 1!👇🏼 1. Keep conflict clear from the start. 📔 Giving readers a sense of your novel’s world is important, but DON’T drone on about backstory on page 1. 👎🏼 INSTEAD: Pique your reader’s interest! Get to the “inciting incident” as soon as possible. 💡 The inciting incident is what kickstarts the conflict of your novel. It gives readers a reason to keep reading—to see what happens next. So, if your first chapter feels SLOW, try moving the start your novel closer to the inciting incident! 2. Introduce your main character the RIGHT way. 📔 You DON’T need a FULL physical description of your main character (MC) the moment they appear on the page. 👎🏼 INSTEAD: highlight WHY we should be rooting for your main character. 💡 Readers will connect a lot faster to a MC they relate to > what they look like. So, if your first chapter feels DIRECTIONLESS, try focusing on WHAT your MC’s central struggle/goal is. When your reader emotionally connects to your MC, they’ll want to know what happens to them next! 3. Set the mood for your novel. 📔 Your first chapter acts like a “teaser” for the rest of your book! So DON’T info-dump every piece of lore at the beginning. 👎🏼 INSTEAD: Focus on your main character’s five senses—what details are NECESSARY for the reader to understand what’s happening right now? 💡 Small details can provide BIG insight into the world you’ve created without bogging down your first chapter. So, if your first chapter feels CLUNKY, try narrowing down your descriptions to essential details. Backstory can be interspersed as your chapters progress. Together, these tips will help you create a first chapter that will make your readers EAGER to read more! 👏🏼 Want more writing advice delivered to your inbox?👇🏼 COMMENT “WRITERSCLUB” to get a weekly email with writing tips, resources, and more! 📔 FOLLOW for daily writing advice, motivation, and a supportive writer girlie community. 🤍 #writingadvice #writergram #writingtips #novelwriter #newwriters #newwritersclub #writersofinstagram #writesofnovember

You can’t avoid disappointment in publishing. Disappointment happens at every single stage of your career and at every level of success. Negative emotions are part of being human. But you CAN make sure disappointment is never the reason you want to quit. It doesn’t require superhuman emotions of steel, either. You just need a simple process for feeling the feels. Despite how vital it is for success, no one ever taught you how to process your emotions. It wasn’t part of the school curriculum. It’s not something your publisher or agent teaches you when you first sign, either. So join me Wednesday, May 15th at 3pm to learn How to Be Resilient As F*ck. You’ll learn why process your emotions is so vital to your career. And you’ll learn how exactly to do that. Register via the link in my bio (or comment "me" below and I'll DM you the link). PS - Make sure you mark the time off on your calendar so you can be present for the workshop. Can’t make it live?

It seems so simple...success is just writing a good first line/page & a good last line/page... Wise words from Mickey Spillane, an American crime novelist, called the “king of pulp fiction.” I guess he’d know-more than 225 million copies of his books have sold internationally... But, while he’s right (the first & last lines/pages *are* extremely important), I do think your whole book should be good—don’t neglect the middle! (& don’t get it twisted—this #writingadvice benefits every writer, not just crime.) [ID: A quote by #crimewriter #MickeySpillane: Nobody reads a mystery to get to the middle; they read it to get to the end. If it’s a letdown, they won’t buy any more. The first page sells that book. The last page sells your next book.] #writing #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #plot #hook #strongstart #strongfinish #brainstormingsession #amytipton #bookeditor #writingcoach #writingtipsandtricks #writinghelp #womenwriters #womenwritingfiction #womenwriting #blackwomenwrite #wocwriters #lgbtwriters #ownvoicesbooks #publishing #selfpublishing #indieauthors #indiebooks #yaauthors #thrillerauthor #mysteryauthor

#writerfriendschallenge @writer.friends.challenge Today's Prompt: What's your go-to writing resource? For me, it is the writer groups (and yes I have more than one) that I've created since starting this journey. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or uncertain about my next step, I check in with one of my writer groups and find support. And I hope that my friends from my writer groups will say the same about me. :-) For me, these groups have been online. We share threads in an app that we can have on our phones and our computers. We are all over the world, so generally someone is always up when we have questions. There have been so many instances where I can truthfully say I would have quit without their support. #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #Writingtip #writingtipandtricks #writestagram #writershelpingwriters #writerssupportingwriters #writersofig #socialmediaforwriters #authorsupport #writerslife #igwriters #ilovewriting #lifeofawriter #writerscorner #writingadvice #writingabookishard #writerlylife #writerfriends #writingfriends #writeeveryday #writingday #writingtips #tipsforauthors #creativelife #getitdoneright #writinghelp #keepwriting #writerslifeforme
Did you know that writing can actually be easy?😧 You don't have to bang your head on the desk or stare at an empty page feeling guilty that you can't get any words down. The truth of the matter is - we've been fed so much crap about how painstakingly difficult it is to be a writer. So much so that 97% of people who attempt to write a book never finish. I want to show you the way of the 3%. This is where my free novel planner comes in—and it’s just the beginning. You will get: ✅ Week by week plans and checklists ✅ Fillable templates ✅ Brainstorming questionnaires ✅ Extra email lessons (These are not included inside the actual booklet, so make sure that you check your inbox daily for these little treasure-troves to land.) There are a ton more little 🎁 gifts and bonuses included, but... I won't spoil it for you. 😊 📌Grab the planner: LINK IN BIO - #writingmotivation #igwritingcommunity #storywriting #writingclass #bookcoach #writingcourse #writingworkshop #writinganovel #writingbooks #writingtools #writingproject #writerinspiration #writinginspo #authorgram #writergram #novelwriting #keepwriting #writersonig #writersoninstagram #writingcommunityofinstagram #writingadvice #writinghelp #authorshelpingauthors #authorscommunity #creativewriting #writersnetwork #writersofig #writinginspiration #writingprompts #writinglife
We’ve had some new clients sign on with us, and so today, we are celebrating one of them! We want to introduce you to Christina Siepiela. This will be Christina’s third book, and her first one in English! She’s an experienced writer, however, having written two books already in her native tongue, Portuguese. Christina’s book will be about life experiences and the process of flourishing as we age. Tracing (instead of chasing) lines from an early childhood to adulthood provides the foundation for a life long learning, with a healthy brain, mind, and body development. It’s gonna be spectacular. Christina is embarking on the Cover to Cover program with us and we cannot wait to take this journey with her! #powerhouse #empowered #creative #history #author #WritingCommunity #PublishingJourney #writingadvice #writingcommunity #howtowriteabook #howtogetpublished #productivityforwriters #plannersforwriters #writingplanner #creativetips #becreative #writingtips #creativeinspiration #artistsway #artistsdate #howtowrite #seekwisdom #writingcommunityofig #writingcommunityofinsta #writingcommunityofinstagram #writerslife #writerslifestyle #authorslife
Remember the source. I know my handwriting is terrible, so I wrote the quote out below. “Remember how long you’ve been putting this off, how many extensions the gods gave you, and you didn’t use them. At some point you have to recognize what world it is that you belong to; what power rules it and from what source you spring; that there is a limit to the time assigned to you, and if you don’t use it to free yourself it will be gone and will never return.” -Marcus Aurelius It was during eclipse season that I caught this quote. Oh man, this just confirmed everything I have been telling myself this year. We only get so much time to chase our dreams. We can’t always come back to them. Tomorrow could be our last. Don’t stop chasing your dreams of writing and being published. Remember the first time you wrote something and your teacher was actually amazed? I do, I even remember them harping on me about all the little mistakes I made, saying “you’re going to be a published author one day, but you can’t hand in work like this. Keep trying.” Remember the people who believed in you. They’re still waiting for that book you promised them. So get back to it! This is your sign from the universe to pick up that pen again and remember that promise you made to your inner child. The promise of a dream realized. A dream fulfilled. #writingcommunity #writingmotivation #writinginspiration #writingadvice
So following up on my WIP reveal, I figured I want to get in depth with my characters, staying off with Marsh Fessla, one of the oldest characters that I worked on for a long time. He is a straightforward hero as they come, or maybe not so… #writer #writing #writingadvice #bookstagram #writingcommunity #quotes #inspiration #wip #character

How I start writing a book: . I create a vision statement. ✍️ . This is a prayerful sentence, bullet point list, or page that defines the goal I believe God has for 1. me as the author and 2. the readers who’ll soak in the pages. 📃 . And it gives a battle cry for the characters, scenes, heartache, and victories within. 🛡️ . Because I believe books can be bigger than a skillfully crafted story. 📚 . God used stories to change my life. They point to Jesus. They inspire me to live radically for my King. They give examples of victorious, Christian lives that urge me to aim higher, know Jesus better, and surrender more radically. ⚔️ . Books like Narnia invited me to understand Jesus in a story-esque way that made the Gospel just make more sense. 📖 . What if a book can display a tiny piece of the magnificent beauty of our King to eyes that haven’t yet seen Him? Like a whisper to awake and see the sunrise for the first time. 🌅 . Jesus transformed my life like the sun awakens the world. I ache for other hearts to experience the hope and healing and love found only in Him! 🔥 . And I yearn to see more myself, as if scrambling up mountain clefts to view the sunrise clearer. Oh help me! 🏔️ . As I started a new draft this year, He put it on my heart to begin by writing the “why” of the story. Now I hope to begin every novel with a written declaration of the purpose behind the words. 📖 . (Which means I need to go back to another rough draft awaiting edits and write her mission statement, albeit late) 🤭 . So this is a challenge: in your current project (writing or other) what is your mission statement? 💭 . Let’s prayerfully create more than art. Let’s ask God to work in it. Seek Him first. And let Him first use the story (or painting or poem or project) to draw us to Himself!! 🖊️ . Dedicate it to Jesus. 📝 . Then we can create with purpose as we make with the Great Creator Himself. 🤗 . . . #writingwithhope #glorywriter #glorywriters #heartsonfire #christianauthor #christianfictionauthors #christianfantasy #fantasyyabooks #christianyabooks #hopebooks #authorofig #authorlife #writingadvice #writerlife #disciplelife #📃
