For those who have never attended a "slow chat" like tonight's #KidLitChat, here are some tips: publish.obsidian.md/debbieohi/ho...

For PB, would it be acceptable to submit two or three manuscripts that meet your MSWL? (Did not see this in Tobias submission FAQs)

If yes, would you prefer to receive as one or separate submissions?

Welcome Ashley!
I hope you find good community here.
Thanks for putting your color and joy into the world.

Writing into the dark is a method I’ve been exploring to avoid treading that muck again.
Discovery write an 80/20 draft (80% results from 20% effort), by writing one scene, stop after and assess the plot so far and end goal, outline the next scene, then write forward.
This can prevent major rewrites

For MG, I work to ensure the stage is set ASAP, then follow the motivations of the characters in play and their setting, making sure something is always being actively pursued by someone. Instinct, not structure.
For PB, it is either string-of-pearls or a natural logic order dictated by the story.

Thanks for this, Brian. Algorithmic feeds are so baked into everything else these days that I hadn’t stopped to wonder yet how Bsky functions.

Now I know!

I have a list of Kidlit/YA agents at bsky.app/profile/did:... (click POSTS to view posts in the feed, ABOUT to see a list of users).

You can find my other lists by going to my LISTS tab under my profile. Hope this helps!

Saw this answered by a number of pros, recently. In novel land, somewhere between 1 and 3 (in different stages) seems to be the norm.
PB writers reported somewhere between 4-16.
The big thing seems to be utilizing your daily different mental energies for different stages, without losing priorities.

Including it as a follow-up comment or in your bio (or both!) is best, anyway. On most social media sites, the algorithm suppresses posts including links because it draws people away from the social site.
