Query update: I'm up to 430 now. My promise was a week or to 500 queries (remembering how long it took me to go through 750 the last time). I'm afraid that at this rate, I'll have to close again tomorrow morning at the latest.

As promised, I'm officially open to submissions again - for 1 week or 500 queries, whichever comes first. Because last time when I tried 2 weeks or until 750 queries, I received more than 750 in the first week and had to shut down early. No guarantees it won't happen again.

Inspired by @garethlpowell.bsky.social, good rules for writing.
1- read what you write
2- write what you love
3- don't be too precious about your words or your characters
4- feedback is your friend
5- so is revision
6- and time away so you can come back with fresh eyes

Good advice!
In my workshops, I’ve been approached by aspiring authors who want to write YA (or fantasy or science fiction) novels but admit they don’t read YA (or fantasy or science fiction) by other writers. Usually they have some hackneyed done-a-million-times idea they think is original and ...

Can think of few better pitches for a novel than this from

seeing the cheating rich get their comeuppance juxtaposed with smart characters helping an underdog will enjoy this contemporary mystery."

This so ridiculous and horrible. The point is just to make people suffer. I can't wait until we wake up from this national nightmare.
An extreme Kansas bill will invalidate the drivers license of every trans person in the state. It was passed alongside a particularly extreme bathroom bill, meaning that the implications of every trans Kansan losing legal ID overnight has largely been missed.
