40 More Twitter Hashtags for Writers

In a previous post, I offered you a list of 30 Twitter Hashtags for Writers.

This week, I'm going to give you no less than 40 MORE Twitter hashtags--and they're all especially for writers! Hold on to your bell-bottoms!

Each hashtag in the list is a hyperlink to the Twitter search page. I've checked each and every one, and they are all active. Just click on your hashtag of interest to see what people are saying now.

Tip: once you have the hashtag in your Twitter search box, and if you like what you see, save the search. That way, you'll get a drop-down menu of all your saved searches each time you click on the search box.

Epic Music Inspires!

Although I don't listen to music when writing, I do enjoy a good song while brainstorming.

Zack Hemsey is a formidable musician. Get ready to enjoy some great songs!

Your hero's comrade stumbles into temptation and struggles not to fall. The darkest part of his soul emerges, grows stronger, and slowly takes over him. The man who was once a confidant and a shoulder to lean on has now become an enemy.

Cue See What I've Become:





Your hero is wandering the land, exhausted and with crumbling hopes. He is about to encounter that which will make him wish he had never been born. A great song for a moment of reflection, and of revelation.

Cue The Way:





The dying cry out in anguish until, little by little, the battlefield falls into silence. Your hero trudges through the mud. His boots stick with every step he takes. His clothes cling to his cold body. Blood and rainwater seep through his pants and make goose bumps rise on his skin. The battle is over. Your hero is victorious... but was the killing worth it?

Cue End Of An Era:




I hope you enjoyed this selection!

Six Sentence Sunday #4

After a bad breakup with Natalie, Argo has trouble concentrating at work. His boss forces him to take a week off, but now Argo has nothing to take his mind off the heartbreak.

Argo wandered down the streets. His legs were tired and heavy, but he was still not ready to return to that empty apartment.

As the colony sky darkened, bars opened for business under bright signs, buskers hollered--and couples held hands, whispering into each others' ears and giggling as they slapped their happiness across Argo's face.

A crumpled can sat in the middle of his path. He pulled back his foot, ready to kick it, and stopped short. 

The can trembled, and eight spindly silver legs unraveled from it and clicked against the ground.
