What do you think #writingcommunity? The #YouDeservepIt events used to be fall & spring but so many events have popped up which is becoming an over saturation issue for the entire industry (authors, editors, agents). To help with this, I’m thinking about shifting to 1x/year.
Hi everyone! Pitch events have become SO over saturated lately, so I’m considering having #YouDeservepIt 1x/yr now. But before I decide in knowing how much this event means for some of you, I want to hear from you! What do you think? #writingcommunity #agents #editors

A reminder to the wonderful #writingcommunity that you don’t have to be crushing word count goals or writing goals to be moving towards your dreams. Sometimes rest is what you need for your next step 🫶💜 #YouDeservepIt
Sometimes we think we have writers block when our body is just telling us that it needs rest. Taking breaks from writing/what we need a break from can be more productive than forcing our way through. 💜

Forgive yourself for rookie mistakes. Being excited for your first book IS a celebration + finding the next step on the path takes time and patience. You learned from your 'jump into querying too too fast' & you're not going to do it again.

Be patient. I’ve already accepted that statistically, I won’t get an agent fast once I query, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen. I’d rather it take time and find the right agent and face some rejection to get my novel in the right hands!
