Three days ago, he was sitting in the kitchen with me.
Yesterday, we spoke on the phone.
Today, he’s dead.
KILLING ASHER STEWART is an interwoven multi POV character driven story of betrayal, redemption, & the power of money.

It's both thrilling and terrifying to try something new!
Tonight, our event includes an afterparty with agent Liv Ivanov that's as close as you can get to in-person networking. This is optional! But fun.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #16140:
Don't assume that your desk is where all your writing happens. 90% of the process of creation happens elsewhere. Use whatever time you have. Thinking time; dreaming time; observing time; analyzing time. All this time can be part of your work. Don't waste it.

If you are #querying do you stick with submitting to agents only or do you query direct to publishers?
I never realized you could query publishers 🤯
Pros & Cons… go!

Rejection is hard.
The 1st wasn’t too bad. Or the 2nd or 3rd. Now on the 16th & I can tell you it’s getting harder.
Is 16 a lot? Nope.
Does it feel like the mountain is getting too steep? A bit, yeah.
But I move forward b/c I believe it my story. Keep going, friends

Everyone knows what they want when it comes to their DREAM AGENT, right?!
What do YOU look for when picking who to query?
I want someone who is open to ideas & collaborating, believes in honest feedback, and has as much excitement about my story as I do.

- You get a partial request (wooo!)
- They say if they want more they’ll let you know …
Do you still nudge after a few weeks?? 🤔

Where do you come up with your best ideas?
Mine are driving and showering 🤷♀️

This. Every day, this.
Your monthly reminder:
Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.
