Living with #adhd and #schizofrenia at times even outside of writing is 😮‍💨😬🫥! So, writing my erotic stories when my mind will work with me is not only a focus and escape but also gives me a creative outlet so...🤷‍♂️🙏🏻 Any other #authors deal with mental disorders?

Welcome - dive in!

In the weird position of needing to promote my fantasy series, but every time I do I have this irrational fear that I'm promoting the wrong aspects and people are going to feel duped into reading something they didn't expect?? I love this book/series, but I get so mixed up in my head about it, ugh.

Anyway could everyone in my target audience just read and love my books, please and thank you?

Trying to get back into story writing after a poetry-infused-mental-hiatus.
What do you think of this stand alone piece?

Awakened by the soft hue of light on the snow she stretched out of her sleeping bag. Unzipping the icy door she braced for the cold air to enter her throat as she breathed. Nothing came, she poked her head out of the tent, which was now flapping in a light breeze. Before her was an astounding sight. Gone were the ice laden tufts of grass, the once frozen lake glittered bright blue awash with ripples from creatures below. Bright green, strong leaves danced in the trees. The sun, hot on the horizon, was glowing and burning as bright as ever. What was once so cold, had needed just one night to thaw. She smiled and launched herself into the warm, dry grass before her, feeling it tickle her arms.
‘’Finally’’ she said aloud.

My #jetpenshaul ! My reward for finishing my latest draft of the dance fantasy novel. I bought my favorite brand of oil based drawing pen (which I use instead of sharpies on plastic post-its and page flags) and a new #kaweco #fountainpen! I'll do another post when I have time to play with it. (Which sadly is not today) #writing #kidlit #authorsofmasto #wtitingrewards

I don't have a Twit account, haven't for a long time now, and I really wish I could wave to my favourite authors from this fantastic beach and call them into the warm waters that are great for deep dives and shallow steps alike. Join us in the paleolithic era and leave the troglodytes behind! #authorsofmasto #AuthorsOfTwitter Friend me! I'm ready!

#writers please check your jealousy levels with your friends and don't ruin your relationships. An #author acquaintance told me her writing partner for years just 1-starred her #book on Amazon and as one of the first reviewers on there is affecting her sales! Don't do this to your friends! #authorsofmasto

Those of us who have just finished #NaNoWriMo know exactly what this guy is going through. I, uh, can't wait until the new year? #writers #writing #authorsofmasto

The type of relationship I have with my mother in law is crazy, because I just messaged her "My narrator did the sex scene in my book so well that I got all hot and bothered"--and that's not even the weirdest thing I've messaged her. 🤣

I'm hoping to connect with other writers on here. So sad the community I built "over there" seems to be disintegrating. 😭

For those curious about the publishing process for indie authors, here is my experience: https://creativeramblings.com/indie-publishing/

At the bottom of the page, you will also find a link to a roundup that I recently conducted with several indie authors on the same topic.

Realised that I’m trying to write to a preconceived idea and it doesn’t work. I’m not an outlining person. It stifles all creativity in me.

I need to let go of the artificial plan and write about a character that interests me. Then their story will come…👍

It's getting cold where I live and that made me remember that more people should read my story about lesbian plant girls. It's warm & whimsical with some discussion of power and leadership.
