Final round of editing almost killed me...but it's done! #AmEditing #AmQuerying #AmScared #WritingCommunity

I have been sooo nervous about starting querying but as I'm getting closer....I just can't wait?! I know it will be ✨BRUTAL✨ but I'll be so proud of myself for even putting myself out there. #WritingCommunity #SFFWriters #SciFiWriters #SFWriters #AmEditing

Reckless Pilot Smuggle Ice Chemical To Influence Explosive Aliens

Wrote 2,000 words today. All of them were deleted like five minutes later. Progress???? #WritingCommunity #AmEditing #SFFWriters #SciFiWriters

Hubby and I took a vacay to Ireland and while there visited the Aran Islands. I think a quiet place like this would be perfect to take myself on a writing retreat sometime. Nothing but nature and my projects! #WritingCommunity #SFFWriters

Got these for my desk because I am a very professional writer #WritingCommunity

So lucky I get to spend time in the French countryside with family. No better place to recharge than a village of like 25 people πŸ˜…

Anyone else use Pinterest boards for inspiration pictures/mood boards for your WIPs? I LOVE loading mine up before a writing session or taking a few to put into my notion as continuing inspiration. There is waaay to much AI "art" in there tho 😢 #WritingCommunity #SFFWriters #SFWriters #SciFiWriters

Finishing up editing today with 22/34 chapters done. On the home stretch! #WritingCommunity #SFFWriters #SFWriters

Ok #WritingCommunity it's time for a new intro. I'm Seren and I write sci-fi with emotional damage and occasional space explosions. I run a scifi writer's Discord and love stories that make me cry. Let’s be friends πŸ’«

My writing goal this week: finish my last edits and finalize my querying material! Need to get in those trenches! ✨ #WritingCommunity #AmEditing #SFFWriters #SciFiWriters #SFWriters

Do you make any other art related to your #WIP? Paint or draw your characters, settings, etc? I am soo not visually artistic but am so jealous of those that are!! #WritingCommunity #AmEditing #SFFWriters #SciFiWriting

Started writing a novella as a 'break' from edits in my current WIP to keep writing fun. Finished the novella and barely made progress in my edits. Oops πŸ˜… #WritingCommunity #SFFWriters

Agent research is such a rollercoaster. One minute I'm like YES this agent sounds GREAT and then I hit a string of them that don't take scifi or military scifi πŸ₯΄ #WritingCommunity #SFFWriters #AmEditing #Querying #SFFWriting #WIP

My goal is to start querying this year...My personal deadline keeps getting pushed back due to editing and bc I am intimidated by querying. Any tips to a first timer in the trenches? #WritingCommunity #AmEditing #AmQuerying #SFFWriters #SciFiWriting

LOOK what a member of my sci fi discord drew up for our logo πŸͺ We turned it into a sticker as a reward for winning challenges! What should the next drawing be of? Must be space-possum related πŸ€” #WritingCommunity #SFWriters #SciFiWriters #SF

Where do you find your beta readers? I've had really good luck with my sci fi discord group, but don't want to overload them πŸ˜… #WritingCommunity #SFFWriters #SciFiWriting #AmWriting #BetaReading

Had an interesting question in my sci fi writing Discord and wanted to ask - if you're pursuing publishing, how did you choose either self or trad pub? #WritingCommunity #SFFWriters #IndieAuthors #AmWriting

How do you guys make those awesome agent guides?! I use Canva, but what are some places to get pics? (not AI) #WritingCommunity #SFFWriters #SFWriters #agentguide

The French hard covers of the Hunger Games look SO GOOD! I read them in English (in my well loved paper backs) but these are soo tempting to get!

Husband got Pokemon cards for his birthday and he is so excited...Really brings me back to 10yo lol oh the nostalgia!!

Taking a break from writing today to wish hubby a happy birthday!

Who else is enjoying the new #Murderbot adaptation?! LOVE the books and I'm so happy to see that the series is really good so far

FINALLY settling on a pen name makes me feel like a real writer somehow 😍 (no believe it or not I don't plan on publishing as DORITO unfortunately)

Every time someone in my SF writing discord group hits a milestone I strangely feel proud too?!?! I didn't do anything but I'm like go us ✨🀣 #WritingCommunity #SFFWriters #SFWriters

I printed out my manuscript for my last bit of editing and it has to be one of the best writing decisions I've made ✨ It's so COOL to hold my own writing in my hands! #WritingCommunity #SciFiWriting #SciFiBooks #WIP

I'm about to finish reading the Murderbot Diaries series. Anyone have any recs? SF preferably but I'm open to other genres! Happy to have your own indie suggestions too πŸ’– #WritingCommunity #ReadingCommunity #SFFBooks #SciFiBooks

Editing and I see that I used the word "door" six times in 1 paragraph πŸ₯΄ Big oops #AmEditing #WritingCommunity #SFFWriters #SF #SciFiWriters

How many editing passes do you do? How many times do you read through your MS? Thought I was doing my last pass but I might do just one more read through before starting my querying journey πŸ˜… #WritingCommunity #SF #SFFWriters #AmEditing

Show me your writing assistant! This is Dimi ✨ 😻 #WritingCommunity #SFFWriters #SciFiWriting #WritersLife

Editing one project and doing some discovery writing on another project. How do you handle working on multiple projects at once? I'm using my shiny, new project as a reward to complete my daily editing goal and it seems to be working ✨ #WritingCommunity #SFFWriters #WIP #AmWriting #AmEditing

I've never posted for a pitch event but looking at everyone's is so fun! It seems so intimidating but I might have to give it a try next time πŸ‘€
