I’ve been working on this for about 18 months.

It took me a long while to figure out the story…but I did. Definitely hard work.

Tell me about your work in progress in the comments, and how long you’ve been working on it.

My book has now been sent to my editor. Is the combination of relief, panic attack, and giddiness normal? #AmWriting #AmEditing

Setting #WritingGoals for 2025. I will have just 3 major goals along with some micro goals. But the three major goals are:
• Query 20 agents for book to be in editor’s hands this month
• Annotate at least 1 book (& learn to annotate)
• Start/draft next project

My new tattoo (I got on Friday) to celebrate me getting my book to my editor next month. 60 pages to edit and 40 notes to address … then it’s off to Amanda!

Note to self: Remember no draft has to be perfect except the final one. But it needs to get done, so you can review the story and have the other drafts after it. Finish your first draft and make a book possible. - Wrtr #amwriting Keep Writing. #author #writing #writer ~ #authorsky

Came across this in Pride and Prejudice. Don’t know why I’ve never read it before.

It's neat to see press releases about your friends' new books/trilogies. Unfortunately, their news aren't on my beat. But you should check Mark E. Scott and Jordan S. Keller out.
