Don’t call yourself an “aspiring author” if you haven’t been published. You’re not aspiring. You’re a writer. Fewer than 20% of people who start writing ever finish. Even fewer make it to publication. You’re already doing the work. You’re already a writer.

Hey, there!😄
A question.
We’re working on a project featuring a 16-year-old protagonist, but he’s Chinese, and according to Chinese age counting, he’s 18. 😂 (First person, past tense.) I was thinking of pitching it as Upmarket.

I'd go so far as to call it a calling.

Friends,
Stop calling writing a hobby. It’s a job.
Stamp collecting? Bridge jumping? Those are hobbies. Writing is work.

thoughts days later: editing is an art form of its own; what makes the difference between raw footage (yes, I think about video and film *a lot* as a novelist) is the shape it's given. it's in editing that we fine-tune pacing, suspense, information, and set up the echoes between opening and endgame.

There's a lot of pitch events here at the start of the year, so it's pretty hard to keep track.
