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.

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

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…?”

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

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
