Question #Writers #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity
If an agency says 'if you do not hear from us within 6-8 weeks, we have unfortunately decided that the project is not a good match' but it's still open on Query Tracker at 12 wks, do I withdraw on QT? I thought they would close it?

Still struggling with using the em dash in Word. I watched videos on it and I'm still hit and miss. Using it as a frequent symbol just takes too much time. Anyone use these in their MG's? I think I'll give up on it :(

Just started querying a 26,000 word Lower MG novel (7-10). First query turned down within an hour (nicely) saying they don't do novellas. Really confused - Google says the word count is fine. Anyone out there write #MG ? #Writingcommunity #Writers #Amquerying #writerslife

In Llyne, the dead don’t always stay buried.
But neither do small-town secrets.

Um, first time doing #Questpit tomorrow. What is an agent guide? Do I need to make one? I was just going to do a mini pitch with maybe a mood board. Is that enough? #WritingCommunity #Amquerying

The dragon has a fiery roar
Look, he's sleeping on the shore
Let's not wake him, no, no, no
Let's sneak past him, really slow
Fingers to lips, make no #noise,
Softly, softly, girls and boys!

Where all who take a seat,

And not just the elite.
The question you must ask yourself

Hello Mr Nightmare, how are you?
What's your favorite color?
Mine is Blue. Do you go to school?
Or sleep throughout the day?
Mummy says I talk too much
Please don't walk away.
I'm sure we can be friends
Let's have a hug
Please don't run away from me
You lovely scary bug

Today we move forward
History is meaningless
You are as new
I'm no martyr I shout silently
Lips clamped tightly
Eyes on the floor.
Yet, somehow, I'll remember,
Every moment, every person
Who helped form my identity
And made me who I am
History is meaningless
You are as new
I'm no martyr I shout silently
Lips clamped tightly
Eyes on the floor.
Yet, somehow, I'll remember,
Every moment, every person
Who helped form my identity
And made me who I am
