If we’re texting and I use an abbreviation it’s because I can’t spell, not because I’m lazy.

However, if I misspell or don’t capitalize something, it’s because I’m lazy, but have full confidence that you can figure it out.

Don’t judge me🤣

Do you sing your thoughts? What are some lyrics/thoughts you “sing” to yourself on the regular? Mine is
“What was I about to do…
I don’t know”

There are more, but this is the most played.

What is on your #writer, #agent, #editor publishing Christmas or holiday list? The big wishes—the ones you have no direct control over.

And now she’s finished, we have a video chat planned, AND I accidentally Face Timed her while I saved her number in my phone…at 5:00 AM my time/4:00 AM her time🫣 This is not what I meant when I said I couldn’t wait to hear what she thinks!

This rural writer just got home internet! I will not take it for granted.

Something so simple can have a big impact.

Today, I woke up to the 20th full request for my #romcom. Why does this make me nervous?

@brilawyer.bsky.social Just finished reading my #romcom novel and it is all I can do not to rent us a weekend getaway so we can talk about all the things.

I really need to win the lottery, so can have a CP retreat!

Another 🥂pass. It doesn’t give actionable advice, but it validates what works. And, I get not being able to give specific feedback. Maybe that’s why she passed. It would be hard to take on a story that’s almost ready, but you don’t know how to get it there. #amquerying #author #writingcommunity

1/2 I’ve realized that I post more about my requests than my rejections. It’s probably my way of staying positive. But, I want to start sharing positive rejections.

I really need to win the lottery.

Is it possible to win when you don’t play?

Tell me I’m not alone. I go from “I’m going to sell this” to “Eh maybe not” to “There will be a bidding war” to “I need to revise right away” to “This will be optioned for a movie. Who will play…?”

The writer’s emotional 🎢 loop of thoughts.

Today, I read THIS IS NOT MY Hat by Jon Klassen. Then, students wrote a retelling by changing story elements. They were adorable! One wrote THIS IS NOT MY BOOK and the twist ending was that the character didn’t really steal the book because it was from the library. #kidlit

I wish agents would alert me when they are reading my full manuscript so I can properly panic. Right now, I stay in 😬 mode.
Never mind that seems horrible. #amquerying #amwriting #writingcommunity #kidlit & #romanceauthor

In CAN’T GET ENOUGH, Mercy (like me) brushes her teeth excessively. She has #OCD. It isn’t a major plot point, but the story recognizes it. Why? Because it mirrors my experience. OCD isn’t my life, but it’s apart of it & it isn’t the misused stereotype of neatness. #editors #agents #amquerying

I created a giant novel planning board with the principals of Save the Cat on Canva and my teacher/author heart could explode! I have my next novel plotted, but you’d better believe I’m moving it. 🤓

My life:

Teacher=sense of urgency and immediate, intentional response

Author= sense of deliberation and slow, careful consideration

Both require patience… a lot of patience

Querying? I hope this is helpful! Whether you use Sheets, Excel, or another tool, staying organized is important. Here’s how I do it. You can add more columns, but I like to keep it simple and easy to reference. #amquerying #writingcommunity #author

I’ve mentioned before that I have a sense of delusional optimism when it comes to my writing. Here’s the perfect example: I went to bed after all my #DVPit posts were up just knowing I would wake up to a lot of activity this morning 🤣. 1/2 🧵
