Yes! So much more efficient than scrolling! I’ve also been using select all for chapter word counts a lot on revisions and it’s so helpful. An editor showed me that trick years ago and not a writing session goes by where I’m not navigating with that!

🙌🙌 I’ve loved making the connections as well! I’ve missed that about the old Twitter writing community days before Elon ruined it.

Plus I made some good connections in the old YA Twitter community years ago from all over the world who went on to be crit partners and friends I met IRL. So I am trying to reconnect. 2/2

I actually started a writing group where I live now, which is great! But I live in a pretty rural area and there’s not other YA writers. It’s also easier to connect with others at the same point in the writing journey (writing, querying, subbing, promoting, etc). 1/2

Oh... wow.... I don't love trampoline parks generally, but that is extra special. I'm imagining loud pop music as well. Glad you survived!

Thank you! Yours rocks as well! East Coast Canada FTW. Repping time zones most Americans don’t know exist haha.

It really is. On so many levels. Which is why I approached my husband’s pleading for a puppy with great reticence lol.

🤞🤞 I’m always afraid to say it out loud because—never fails—I then find yet another thing that needs doing as soon as I dare utter the words haha.

Hey, I’m doing #1stLinePit from Nova Scotia! YA Contemporary. It’s been a few years since I’ve dabbling in hashtag pitches. I’ve definitely missed the writing community that can grow around it!

Well I made the great life choice of staying up till 2 am finishing my book trailer for #1stLinePit only to spend the today getting a puppy, helping my hockey boy get used to his new helmet at the rink, and getting my daughter to and from
an impromptu bday party 😅 #writermomlife
