Early start today and it's Friday yay! Time to wreck the page count like a literary warlord with a word sword. #audience #relatable
Hey Lori, long time. For me it started as managing social and actually writing. They are both very demanding. I like to think I evolve each day into something better. My journey started on Apple Pages, though it evolved quickly to Scrivener. Then learning a new system…
Botpocalypse Day 12. Just blocked my twelfth fake account today. At this point I’m not curating a feed, I’m performing an exorcism. Tried removing them nicely before. They came back like clingy ghosts in a group chat I never joined. So yeah, it’s block now. Clean kill. Your…

To the women who’ve followed me, and those who might’ve stepped back lately, You’re right. The metrics don’t lie. Over time, the percentage of women engaging with my content has dropped. First 39 percent. Then 36. Now just 24. That’s not a trend I’m proud of. And while I could…



This is crazy right? I have 100 followers. I'll get 50 views, maybe. But, and here's the kicker. Per view I kill this giant in engagement. Think about that. #jacobswrites #writerscommunity #writersoftwitter #writerstool

Damn. A Legend Is Gone. R.I.P. Ozzy Prince of Darkness. Voice of a generation. Gone, never forgotten. 7-22-2025 😢😭💔 #OzzyOsbourneRIP

Boner at Riffanies Yup I said it! #jacobswrites #booktok #authorlife #bookhumor
It's funny. I don't think people read the post. They click, repost, share, heart but have no idea what they just did. Don't follow me. Don't like the post. Retweet if you feel the need but drop your WIP, you Bio, Your Link, so today, tomorrow or a year from now someone else…

Anyone else hit that moment where you're like: damn, my book's actually good? Then realize: damn, one day I might have to sign these? Then finally admit: damn... my signature really sucks?
Do you look back on your posts and feel like, damn. Well thought? x.com/JacobsWrites/s…
Here’s what I learned today as a debut author: Your novel doesn’t have to be great to sell. It has to be great because you have to read every page 500 times. And if it sucks, you suffer first. #JacobsWrites #booktok #Writer #writerhumor
WTF Did He Say? Boners? No way! #jacobswrites #booktok #writerslife #bookhumor
I write a post. Either 10 bots follow me or someone wants to sell me something. Where are the fans at? The readers? The audience that buys tickets to the encore? If everyone’s a vendor, and no one’s a customer, then what the hell are we doing here? #jacobswrites #writersoftwitter…
Chapter 5. Finally. only 50 more to go after this one. Felt like ages getting here and man it feels great to be putting pages to bed! #jacobswrites #booktok #WritingCommunity #thrillers

Good morning, X. Or die-hard Twitter’ers. Cold coffee, sharpened Montblanc, storm outside. Today’s mission: expand the novel from 5K to 10K. Let’s bleed ink and make something worth reading. #jacobswrites #booktok #writingprocess #AuthorsOfTwitter

Sat down thinking I’d knock out 5k words. Instead? 10 hours of pacing, plotting, obsessing. The last hour? Just me and my numb ass in a silent war. Did I write? No. Did I build? Hell yes. Tomorrow’s loaded. #jacobswrites #booktok #writerscommunity #writers
Writing Gone Wild. Or Not... #jacobswrites #booktok #onebookonestory #tiktokreaders
Has anyone else noticed how “writer lifts” are rarely about other writers? They’re often just another way to say, “Lift me.” Let’s flip that. Don’t like this post. Don’t follow me. Don’t comment for attention. Drop your WIP link or thought below, then go lift someone else. Reply…

Since day one, it was called The Vegas Affair. Today it fell apart. Naming the villain turned into retitling the whole damn book and leveling up the genre. Heartbreaking. Necessary. Evolution is brutal. Who else has buried a chapter to save the story? #JacobsWrites #booktok…
