After a severe crisis of confidence, I've accepted that my query letter is trash. Spent the last hour and a half perfecting a new one. #writing #querying #ugh

No, I'm not ready to take on the day. In fact, I was about to reach out to the day and make an appeal for leniency... 🙂

What if I have an intriguing manuscript, but can't write a decent query letter to save my life? #writing #querying

Sometimes it totally helps to howl at the moon. On special days, it even howls back...

After a long, trying day at the office, it was a pleasure to know an evening of writing was impatiently waiting for me to return home... #writing #escape

Sent out a single query and received a rejection. I know it's part of the process, but this crazy dreamer was hoping to kick off this trip to the trenches with a positive reply. #querying #writing

I've never been one for crunching numbers. I'm afraid they're going to damage my teeth...

Have you ever woken up thinking "Today is my day. I can do anything!"? I never have, but it sounds like a pretty awesome experience...

There's a lot of waiting involved in writing. Perhaps that's why the two words only differ by a single letter... 🙂 #writing #querying

I did it, #querying peeps! I sent out my first query to test the waters. Chose someone who made a full request on a previous project. I'm both excited and terrified! #writing #booksky

Finished a final pass of my manuscript. Then went back to make sure Chapter 1 was perfect. Reviewed the rest of my query package. I'm running out of excuses to put off querying. Aside from the paralyzing fear of failure. 🙂 #querying #writing #booksky

I'm one day closer to being ready to query my manuscript. It's both exciting and downright frightening... #querying #writing #booksky

Almost finished with the final pass of my manuscript and will soon begin querying. It's perfect timing as a new idea has taken root in my brain and is threatening to demand all my creative energy. #writing #querying #booksky

My gut tells me I'd be happiest writing full time. My wallet tells me that's not realistic... #writing

I'm really leaning into a cozy Friday night after a long week. Enjoying a delicious dinner and watching the #Yankees game. #weekend #relaxing

I love when I start a new book and I enjoy it so much that I keep telling myself, "One more chapter. I'll read just one more chapter and then do that thing I had planned." #books #reading

Thursday morning is the ideal time to go grocery shopping. The store is quiet, they're stocking the shelves, and I am the youngest customer by at least 20 years. It's like my personal fountain of youth 🤣

Day off today after last night's taping. Do not want to get out from under the warm covers to start the day...
