A Day in the Life of a Writer via Twitter by Jina Bacarr

A friend recently asked me if I journal.
Wow, a question that struck a cord in me. I haven’t kept a journal in years. I’ve got stacks of journals and diaries from high school, college, etc., but I spend so much writing stories, I stopped writing down my thoughts.
Then I realized I do journal in a way.
I tweet.
I don’t mean the promo tweets or the pretty graphics I love to put together for my books.
I mean the “here’s where I’m at in writing…” tweets.
So this month, I put together my favorite “journal tweets” for you. (I left out the hashtags.) It’s not easy putting your heart and soul into 140 characters, but hey, it’s convenient, like having a cell phone instead of a landline in our digital world.
It works when the power goes out…

2 — Reading aloud edited version of your story is like sex: too slow and you’ll never get there; too fast and you won’t remember it.
3 — how much of a part do our memories play in writing our stories? performing in Italy inspired my Royal Magic story
8 —
I have a secret: I keep telling myself “just one more edit” of m/s — which have now turned into 6. Why is it so hard to let go?9 — this writer and her m/s have finally parted–re: earlier tweet today, I submitted my story tonight to the publisher!
