#amquerying #amstruggling Man, I knew going into this with anxiety and RSD that querying would be hard but the randomization of when I get responses and the number of form rejections is a touch crippling 😂 Any agents looking for A character-driven light academia, second-world fantasy? 😅

There is a certain subset of people who think that the cost of notoriety is allowing people to say whatever they want about you without consequence or response, and that has never been the case. Just because most people ignore your shitty comments, doesn’t mean you have license to do it.

I don’t rate books publicly but my personal rating system, for my own reference and enjoyment, is: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️=I never set it down out of boredom. Absolutely would recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️=I enjoyed this. Would recommend to fans of the genre. ⭐️⭐️⭐️=I enjoyed this. But it’s book Taco Bell. ⭐️⭐️=I finished this. ⭐️=DNF.

As usual, holidays are a nightmare working in retail. I don’t comprehend how people have so much extra money to spend on “fake” sales for big meals/get togethers. Maybe I’m just too introverted for that haha 😂 anyways, time to sleep with my three levels of exhaustion despite work the next day too

So, I get that like it’s been only 5 days since sending out the queries and agents are very busy and most say to expect a response in like 4 weeks… But if anyone wants to request a full manuscript I’m totally ready to send it 😂😂😁 #amquerying #writingcommunity

i need people to understand "death of the author" means the author can't dictate what you take away from the text, not that you're not complicit in what they do with the profit they make from you buying it in the first place

Got two more form rejections today just after I decided to take a step back and work with a professional (affordably) on my query letter. There are still a few queries I’ve yet to hear back on but I won’t query any more till I can be more sure my Book is the issue and not my query #writingcommunity

Working on a new book (not sequel) while I sit in the trenches and the main character’s a musician. Sooo there’s a song I wrote for the plot of the book and I got some help with the chords for it!! I love it so I thought I’d share verse one. #amquerying #music #song #worksong

Welp, that might be an auto rejection 😅 just triple checked a query in query tracker only to realize my query letter was at the top of the attachment for ten pgs with “Dear [agent name] at top since it’s a template. Got two query letters and a super impersonal mistake 🙃🙃🙃 Kill me #amquerying

People who are querying, how many queries do you send out in a batch? When do you start the next batch? What do you do in your process that most might not? #writingcommunity #querying #querytrenches

I kind of wish Bluesky had a way to boost certain accounts you follow so that you're guaranteed to see ALL their posts without having to hunt down their profile and scroll obsessively to make sure you didn't miss anything. That'd be nice. 😊

Just sent out my first batch of queries and my heart is pounding out of my chest. Can’t. Breathe… Now to try and focus on a completely different book while I wait. And wait. And wait. 😂 #writingcommunity #querying #query #anxietyaboutquerying

Put my energy into posting for #WSPit yesterday and didn’t get to share with everyone that I FINISHED DRAFT 4!!!!!! Gotta prep my manuscript and go over my list of agents. Then spruce up my synopsis. It’s QUERYING TIME 🥳🥳🎉🎉 I’m so excited and nervous and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! #writingcommunity

When lit agents say they want more queries from historically marginalized voices, or that they’re seeking specifically to diversify their list… that’s not bigotry. Remember that equality only feels like oppression to the one who benefits from oppression.

Update, after almost a week I have my computer working again. windows update was corrupted or something but I brutally unplugged it 2-3 times and it finally took me to recovery options (nothing else got me there) Uninstalled recent update and even reinstalled now and it all works again! YAY!😊😊😊

don't hate-watch it, don't go see it to "see what it's like" if we keep rewarding these cheap films, made to circumvent unionized feature animators by exploiting non-unionized vfx animators- many of which ARE feature animators too- they're just going to make more, let's learn from Disney okay

Universe seems to hate me. I’m so close to finishing draft 4 and my computer updates and is stuck on the welcome screen and won’t let me log in. I’ve tried everything but the motherboard is so old I can’t even go into secure boot from BIOS… This royally SUCKS but I SHALL NOT LET IT WIN. laptop time

6 chapters into my final line edit read through of my book!!! It’s going smoother than I imagined and I’m so excited to be this close to querying. It’s good to know after reading my book dozens of times I still enjoy it and get engrossed in certain scenes without meaning to. #writingcommunity #WIP
