“We read deeply for varied reasons, most of them familiar: that we cannot know enough people profoundly enough; that we need to know ourselves better; that we require knowledge, not just of self and others, but of the way things are.” — Harold Bloom

Killjoys Creator Michelle Lovretta on Showing Truthful Relationships and Giving Your Audience Hope - The TV Junkies #amwriting #WritingCommunity thetvjunkies.com/killjoys-se…
And look, even if you "don't go here" when it comes to #Killjoys, I'd highly encourage you to still read @lovretta's thoughts about changing up the usual stories we tell and the lessons she learned about providing audiences with hope.
In Part 2 of my series finale interview with #Killjoys creator @lovretta we delve into the importance of Dutch & John's platonic love, standing up to Khlyen and what stories she had to leave on the table: buff.ly/2mnEES4

Don’t be afraid to put your work out there. If you’re told it isn’t good enough, that doesn’t mean you’re not a writer. It only means you have more to learn. Never give up. #amwriting #NoteToSelf

There's a new world in my head right now and it is funny & outrageous & silly... but it deals with trauma, and the layers underneath are so, so sad. Beautiful, but SAD. Sometimes #writing is an exercise in willingly bruising your own heart.

Heard from a professional editor who had a lot to say about double spacing. He says, "If there is one thing you take away from here today, NEVER use a double space after a period. Never ever." He then went on to say, "It screams self published." #writers
