Imagine #writing exactly the way you want to write. Imagine just being creative without boundaries or pressure. Who says we have to imagine it. There's nothing stopping us from just doing it but ourselves. #style #amwriting

If your keyboard or your journal isn't even in the same room as you, then of course you're not getting any writing done today. Make a place to create and just be there every damn day, who knows what might happen. #amwriting #writerslife #writing

I am a creative writer. I create characters, worlds, stories that all come from that mystical place within my creative consciousness. To write within a formula or some proclaimed or taught structure would kill my creativity. I refuse to put it in a box and stifle it. #amwriting #writerlife #writing

The blank page has never frightened me. Knowing when the story is finished is what scares me most. The writer Olga Ravn is my soul sister in that regard. (Be sure to activate vidd captioning if needed.) #amwriting #writerslife #writing #fiction
