Don’t look back until you’ve written an entire draft, just begin each day from the last sentence you wrote the preceding day. This prevents those cringing feelings, and means that you have a substantial body of work before you get down to the real work which is all in … the edit.

Most writing is done between the mind and the hand, not between the hand and the page.

Janet Burroway (via writersrelief)

It’s often a matter of sitting in front of the computer and worrying. It’s what writing comes down to—worrying that things aren’t going to work out.

Writer's Relief Blog: "How To Write A Synopsis For A Novel" →

writersrelief:

Writers HATE the job of writing a book synopsis. As anxiety escalates, so many questions may rush through their minds: “What is a literary agent looking for in my synopsis or summary? How many details should I include about my novel? Should I explain my setting and characters in my book synopsis or just stick to the basic plot?”

If you’re having trouble and are procrastinating writing your synopsis, don’t despair. Writer’s Relief can help!

Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling like dew upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.

The Writer’s Relief Review Board is OPEN! (Deadline: AUGUST 15TH)

writersrelief:

Writer’s Relief is an author’s submission service (not a literary agency, publisher, or publicity firm). We help creative writers get published by targeting their poems, essays, short stories, and books to the best-suited literary agents or editors of literary journals.

We can help you get published. We will:

Identify the best literary agents for your book manuscript. Literary agents are key to publishing your novel, memoir, or nonfiction book.

Identify the best literary journals for your poetry, short story, or personal essay.

Create your cover or query letters.

Proofread and format your submissions.

Develop strategies that get literary agents and editors excited about your writing.

Make more time for you to write without sacrificing the quality and efficiency of your submissions.

Help you get published more often in reputable markets.

Writer’s block is just a symptom of feeling like you have nothing to say, combined with the rather weird idea that you should feel the need to say something. Why? If you have something to say, then say it. If not, enjoy the silence while it lasts. The noise will return soon enough.

Hugh MacLeod (via writersrelief)

If you get stuck, get away from your desk. Take a walk, take a bath, go to sleep, make a pie, draw, listen to music, meditate, exercise; whatever you do, don’t just stick there scowling at the problem. But don’t make telephone calls or go to a party; if you do, other people’s words will pour in where your lost words should be. Open a gap for them, create a space. Be patient.

Hilary Mantel (via writersrelief)

…the writer’s obsession – the desire to know and communicate, or, rather, to know everything so as to communicate with the greatest degree of precision.
