Query rejection today (10 mos after submission) that wasn't a form letter. Grateful to the agent for providing feedback! Surprised that social justice in YA isn't desired. #amquerying #amwriting #socialjustice #amrejected #writerscommunity #writersoftwitter #writers #writing
I know cell phones can do so much but I think my favorite feature is backspace when dialing a phone number.
Remember how we used to have to hang up and start all over? No more. Chills.

What do you consider "political fiction"? Like, how political makes it political? I want to respect agent #MSWL but I'm not sure about that designation.

Holding my breath, pressing that 'submit query' button and then panicking when it asks me to confirm my email address. I didn't need that additional jolt of adrenaline, tyvm.

Do you know your story's title before you've finished writing it? Is this a #pantser vs #plotter thing?

In your opinion, how late is too late for the inciting incident? Do you like it in your first chapter, or within 5000 words, or what?

All three of my kids have covid and my husband and I keep staring at each other like "So this is what it once was like/what it will one day be like in the future" and neither of us know how to proceed.

Ok, 2600 words today (so many more than most days recently!) and maybe, maybe the end is in sight.
So much editing ahead, but I'll get to that when I can, right? Tell me I'm right bc I'm losing my mind with this WIP.

That query rejection came so fast it almost gave me whiplash! Oh well, guess it wasn’t the agent for me. #WritingCommunity #amquerying #amwriting
Welp, wasn't planning to send a query today but saw that a fabulous agent had reopened, so off it went. Still licking my wounds from the rejections on my fulls, but 'once more unto the breach' seems an apt mantra for writers.

Dismissed from grand jury duty, and feeling both relieved and disappointed. Could've been some good fodder for writing inspiration...

Do you do other things when you're on the phone? I realized, as I ended a call just now, that I can't stand still. I dusted, I adjusted picture frames, I paced. Must make a note to add this to a character's traits.

Talk about adverbs. Which ones do you avoid at all costs and which ones do you use because you just have to?

Do you wish you could hang out with your MC or another character in your book? Why or why not? #WritingCommunity #amquerying #amwriting #writersoftwitter
Do you like to be in the room when your beta readers read your MS? #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amquerying
Idea: since the world is effectively on fire, the publishing industry should throw caution to the wind and sign ten times as many debut authors as they'd planned for 2022.
Why not?
