**Revising YA Dramedy

Welcome to my organized chaos🤘🏾!
Warning: I'm really dorky & don't hide it☺️

When I created this feed over a year ago, I hoped that one day it would help many of us find each other and I'm so happy I spent that time teaching myself how❤️! And thank you to the entire #writingcommunity for boosting this feed. I appreciate YOU! #bvm (yeah I'm kinda a nerd some (most) times lol)
Hi. I created a feed for black writers to find each other here as the writing community migrates over. Use 🖤✏️ or #bvm to have your individual posts included. Please like and share to spread the world. Thank you :)

Got an R&R (second one) for my book and I'm actually, hyped? I knew I wanted to make more revisions and seeing the feedback align with that makes me know I'm heading in the right direction #bvm

I'm going to need the Uno company to stop announcing their rules to me. WE STACK CARDS IN THIS FAMILY 🗣️

Cousin 1: Santigold's music is life

Me: "About that. I was on stage at her concert this summer 🤷🏾‍♀️"

Cousin 2: ... Wait, what?! How the hell did you manage that?

Cousin 1: Why are you asking, you know Musu is always on a side quest. She literally has a play in a museum

Me: It's the ADHD? 😂

Sometimes I'm mistaken for younger, but this one made me do a little dance lol. I asked a worker at the bodega where the beers were and he scoffed, asking for my ID in this like "sure, okay" tone, smirking. I smirk back, hand it over. Seeing the shift from snark to shock made my bad day WAY better😂

Social media has weirdly conditioned a huge number of people to feel like they're Doing Something by posting, and Doing Nothing if they don't post about a particular thing, and in general neither of those things are true.

I'll talk about query stuff soon but in summary, I've sent out less than 30 queries since May 😂 (have requests). It's not that I've been afraid but more like... After experiencing so much loss in my life, I want to take my time with the things that matter to me. Like my story ❤️ #bvm

I'll figure out this app some more once the errors stop (the battery drain is wild, I need a new phone soon🙃)

Me: November's been a loooooong year
Husband: *shouts finger and pauses briefly* You know what, yeah that makes sense

So proud of you Savannah and all the hard work you put into bringing this to the world! And when you're in the city in the future, I owe you a little shoulder shimmy shake celebratory moment 😂 🖤

One of my favorite features on this app is the self-moderation system. As a formed people pleaser, I say set those boundaries EARLY with no hesitation! And I'll throw a tomato or something at whatever guilt hits you, if it does (I mean it, ask my friends lol)

Oh and just in case anyone is wondering, sometimes the feeds will go down but they eventually come back (soon hopefully) ☺️. Good morning!

Comment if you'd like to be added.

Don't self-reject.
Don't look and think "they didn't specify x, y, z is welcomed. I guess it's not for me".

Also, I'm loving the feed and can't wait to see more of us here! My main wish is that we continue to keep all discourse (beef/fighting) off of here, cuz ya girl is on a break indefinitely 🫠 (don't act like you don't know why lol). Its our time to highlight our writing work/journey, loudly🖤 #bvm

What kind of juju do I have?! Nah *salone accent* I rebuke it 🤣🙃
Around Thanksgiving, I said to my mom that I've been getting this feeling that the next few months are going to be very rough for a lot of people. I'm not trying to be pessimistic at all. Just remembering that we really need to look out for each other, more than ever.

Going to need a week to catch up on the ongoings on here (as in, how does technology work again?) so bare with me 😂

I know a lot of ppl like stalking the pages of agents they've just queried but I'm kind of the opposite? I'll avoid their page as much as I can and make a slight "yelp" noise if they across my timeline😂. Ah, gotta love anxiety #bvm

I don't think people understand how many YA stories I have in me to write based on being the child of my hilarious African (Sierra leonean) mama. My sister and I have contemplated making Mom a Tik Tok where she'll immediately use the word "psychedelic" to describe her outfit 😂 #bvm

@boringstorybook.com hi! I'm not sure how to be added to the kidlit feed (or which feed would be best to be added to?). I currently run the black writers feed🖤

Sent my MS to my final betas before querying this new book🎉. I took my time with this one because it's an important story I've always wanted (needed) to tell. A lot of heart & humor went into this YA novel. And I love that I also got to share things from my family's culture 🖤 #bvm #writingcommunity

Since people are talking about different types of love, what about different types of affection?

Open to submissions, an anthology for women writers of color!

Please share!
