Hi #writersofbluesky! Time for re-introductions?
I’m Sean, & I write speculative literary fiction.
ATM, I’m querying a book called Penrose which revolves around a spiral staircase in the woods, the missing person who climbed it, and the son she left behind.
Say hi!

PENROSE
As a child, Nico watched his mother climb a staircase in the woods and vanish.
Reading her journal 30 years later, he discovers a link between her disappearance & the Gilded Age mansion which burned down in those woods 100 years ago.

You don't know anyone but natural born American citizens, full stop. And if you're white and border patrol or ICE starts asking questions, you ask to see their warrant. Don't you do nazi shit.
Multiple UFW union offices received this in the mail this week. Thanks for reaching out!

Thirty years later, he stumbles upon her journals & learns her disappearance has something to do with the razed Gilded Age mansion which once stood on the very spot where he lost her.

#WritingCommunity don't forget that agents want to find you to use #amquerying hashtag, not the mswl. Let the mswl be for agents. The best way is to either participate in pitch events or actually sit down and query your thing and get those rejections under your belt.

POV: It’s the holidays and the dawn of American fascism and you’re an #amQuerying writer trying to keep it together and someone says “How are you?”
And you say, “Oh, hanging in there…”

Looking for recommendations on where to submit short stories of the literary speculative fiction genre.
Anywhere that might swoon over stories with tone and subject matter similar to Story Of Your Life by Ted Chiang.

The shape of my novel, Penrose, is in the name — an impossible three-sided object. Great summation by Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Really good advice I recently heard: sometimes the best thing you can do for your novel is to tell the story in chronological order.

Baby’s first Christmas tree.
Two rejections and another full request in the last day and a half. Feels like agents are clearing their inboxes in preparation for the holidays.
Bracing for a barrage, keeping hope alive for an offer…

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
