OOOH, I love when it's "pep talk season" over at Ask the Agent by @literaticat.bsky.social. I'm always here for a good pep talk and hers are always straight-laced + encouraging + realistic + a warm hug. THANK YOU for being such a source of good stuff now and always. #amwriting #amquerying

I was asked today what my best publishing advice is: You have no idea how close you are to achieving your goal, but the only guarantee is that if you give up now, you’ll never get there. Keep going!

April showers bring May flowers, as the saying goes, so join us on Sunday (FOR FREE!) to tend to our writing gardens. Maybe this metaphor is getting away from me...but @kamillamilligan.bsky.social will keep us on track this Sunday!
