Looking for Bookfrens, Writingfrens, and Neurospicyfrens!

I’m slowly building a list of people to follow here, but still not enough that most of my following page isn’t full of the same reblogs. And I don’t know enough people to have actual conversations (I know, I can just jump in, but I’m ... not very good at that?)

In the last year or so I have discovered a love of reading, and of reading with a community. I’ve found and fallen for Gideon, Beck Chambers, Murderbot, Atlas, Achilles, Middle Earth, Lattes and Legends. So, if you post about bookish stuff - mostly FSF but also anything with cozy vibes and powerful friendships and healthy dunamics - I’d love to know. Or, if you share bookish merch or have a book merch shop or do tangentially-book-flavoured art. I am a writer, too. Indie pubbed (self and small press), but struggling a little with it right now. I’ve found so much solace and support from low-energy content creators, slow writers, joyful writers, and those who get their energy from supportive communities. If this is your jam, I would love to follow you.

Finally, I am finally growing into the skin of a late-diagnosed hot mess. ADHD, ASD, a touch of OCD, a metric ton of Anxiety, and the deep relief of knowing it’s not that I’m not “trying hard enough”, but also the deep fear that it’s really that I’m “just not capable, and never will be”. But also, learning to see the joy and strength in who I am and work to those, instead of dwelling on my many and varied deficits. So, if you relate, please, may I follow you?

Anyway, that’s my ad. I can’t buy friendships with money, but I can promise I will do my best to comment, like, reblog, and respond as much as I can.

3 Things You Need to Know as a Writer

1. Writing is hard work. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! A lot of work goes into writing. Structure, technique, plot, characterization, etc.—a lot of elements go into a book. Be proud of what you’re doing! 2. The world needs your story. It’s true that not everyone will like your book, but you should write for yourself and those who need your story. 3. Every stage, from writing to editing is important. If you’re going to share your work for free, writing and then self-editing is perfectly fine! However, if you are going to slap a price on your book, you are taking someone’s hard-earned money, and they should be getting a quality product. Self-editing won’t cut it. Hiring an editor to check over your work is always advised. However, at the very least, you should hire a proofreader. Publishers don’t put unedited books on the market. Self-publishing should be no different. Getting feedback from another person can help you make the necessary tweak second advance your book into the hands of readers. Editing is where the pieces of the puzzle come together.

Hope this gave you some writing motivation! 🤎

XO,

Ashley

So, here I am at my writing desk, working on another book. Sunshine is streaming through the window, and I am amazed by how warm this early February feels. It is a beautiful day to sit in a quiet room and exercise my imagination.

Someone’s up early. She’s got some good plot ideas. 1) someone gets stabbed. 2) someone gets tuna.

I hope this letter finds you in good spirits. I needed to pause for a minute to offer my genuine thanks for your unimaginable help and support.Yesterday was a wonderful day for me since I arrived at a huge achievement of having a 150 votes. Presently I can't accept that we're at last at 400 peruses and 190 votes. I can't even express how amazed I am that we gained 54 votes and 75 reads in one day. I'm truly brought down by the stunning response and the affirmation my story has gotten. Your vote and time spent reading my work mean a lot to me. My confidence as an essayist has been bolstered by your assistance, as has my enthusiasm for narrating. I really want to convey my most significant appreciation for your trust in me and for eliminating the time from your clamoring schedule to attract with my structure. It has propelled me to continue chipping away at my abilities and chasing after my objectives due to your vote. Your readership and responsibility have given me the drive to research new imaginative streets and stretch the boundaries of my describing. Achieving such an accomplishment would never have been possible without the fearless assistance of individuals like you who trust in my capacity. Your comfort has encouraged me, and I am extremely grateful for each vote and read. Sympathetically recognize my veritable thanks for sure for your continued with assistance. I'm hugely grateful to have you as a part of my journey, and I expect to give a more prominent measure of my work to you later on. Your analysis and pieces of information are reliably welcome, as they help me create and chip away at as a writer. Sincere appreciation, Alesheee ^^

I've been trying really hard to get a handle on promoting my books. As an indie author, and even as a published author whose books are getting older and selling less, it's one of those things I can't avoid.

Anyway, I found this fun little app that is basically a digital flip book. It took me a while to set this up but I figure most marketing stuff is spendy with either money or time.

Do you think it's worth it? Is it going to work, or is it too boring and plain?

Last night’s Author Roundtable at Great Neck Library was one of the best events I’ve ever done, and I’ve done a lot! The authors had so much to say and the audience was so into it that we went over an hour over schedule up until closing. I learned a lot myself from my fellow authors, so I think it might be a start of a series. Very happy for the questions from parents who’s kids want to be writers. Keep writing! Still remember the days I was writing my pubescent novels and submitting to junior publications that loved my work. Thanks too to new Board of Trustees President Mimi Hu for attending and taking this pic…Indie authors need advocates like you! #authors #author #authorlife #indie #writing #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #authorssupportingauthors #authorslife #bookstagram #booktok #book #books #bookrecommendations #bookreader #bookrec #roundtable #conference #library #libraries #librariesofinstagram #librarian #librarians #selfpublishing #selfpublished #selfpublishedauthor #selfpublisher #selfpublish #workshop https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl9sfKLvYbM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
