I am a writer of fiction. I travel to the dark places and bring back souvenirs https://timkanebooks.com
The original script for diehard was turned down by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson, Burt Reynolds, Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford, and Al Pacino. It was too boring and only came alive in rewrites. A lesson to all writers that revision and collaboration is key. #wip #writing

The strategy to win at block blast is also the way to win at writing. Instead of trying to fit all the pieces perfectly you strive for more points or more pages on your manuscript. #wip #workinprogress #writing #writingsession #writinghacks #blockblast

This is what it feels like to go through writer's block. You have to keep going, but you don't really want to. #wip #workinprogress #writing #writingsession #writinghacks

I know it's the self sabotaging critic in me but a lot of times my characters feel like false fronts that are two dimensional yet readers often find them compelling #wip #workinprogress #writing #writingsession #writinghacks
