Book lover and occasional photographer. But I'm happiest as a writer, and moody when I can't spend enough time with a WIP.

Making a character a magical creature is about more than just plopping one into your story; it involves matching abilities and personality traits, and doing a fair amount of research. But it's also a whole lot of fun. :) mirandaburski.com/2020/10/14…
Planning a new novel always feels good. Got up early today and managed to outline a couple of chapters--seemed like a good start to a Monday. #amwriting

Before you write, observe – sights, sounds, dialogue, action, facial expressions, body movements, quality of light around you. How can you translate these everyday things into your work, so readers can better relate to your story? #amwriting #writerslife #writingcommunity :-)

I’ve been reading a lot of first 10 pages lately and I want to touch on something that comes up over and over again: starting your story with summary instead of a scene. #writingadvice
I have so many amazing takeaways from #SocialWest that I couldn't possibly list them all here. Thank you to all of this year's speakers for your inspiration, and to everyone who put the conference together! I can't wait to see next year's lineup!

Do the thing. Write the novel or the story that is true for you. Let your readers see what's true for you. Don't worry if it's true for others. #amwriting #amediting #Writing When you get your chance to write, shine. - Wrtr
Learning a lot during the first day at #SocialWest so far. The morning has had some great keynote speakers, with some really informative takeaways--the bacon theory really has me thinking about what PIC can do in the future. Can't wait to start working on some ideas!

Each of your relevant characters in a novel should have a personal agenda. Along with a path that they alone can travel. Strong side characters can make a story better. -Wrtr #amwriting #amediting #Writing
Catching up on some of my volunteer work always feels good. But catching up while accompanied by the smell of muffins baking in the oven just has an extra bit of feel-good on a cold Monday night.

It doesn't matter if your writing is awful. Now, you have something to fix #amediting

Pro tip for virtual events: Screenshot the nice comments and save them into a “Feel Good” folder! The next time you’re abt to have an event and feel nervous, read thru those comments and remind yourself you did a fab job last time round.

the most horrible sentence to utter...."I never made the time to"
don't miss your moments.

I remind myself.
•The past can't be changed
•Opinions don't define your reality •Everyone's journey is different •Overthinking will lead to sadness
•Happiness is found WITHIN
•Positive vibes create positive outcomes
• What goes around, comes around

My condolences go out to the James Smith Cree Nation and all surrounding communities affected by the horrible acts committed this past weekend. My heart goes out to all the families who lost loved ones and I hope justice is soon found.
