REPOST WITH THE BOOK YOUR CURRENTLY OBSESSED WITH: I devoured One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig… or did it devour me?

Dear fellow first time authors. This is what it feels like to send out your baby to people who are about to give you feedback.

Beta readers have been sent copies. AHHHH why do I feel so vulnerable!?!? #author #amediting

Today I’m thankful for @bsky.app because every second post isn’t a freaking ad.

Had a publisher call ME today I am so thankful to @bluepit.bsky.social for hooking me up, but make sure you have some questions ready. In this case, some places are just not the right fit.

Been back at work so my #amediting time has taken a big hit. Sorry to everyone who signed up to be a beta reader. I couldn’t help myself but go through one final walk through before sending it out. Y’all are just gunna have to wait. Sorry not sorry

Me when someone needs help

Same thing as teaching right?

Me thinking about unaliving my reader’s favourite character…

My guilty pleasure is making playlists of the kind of music my characters would enjoy if they had access to music streaming services. 🎶 #wip #amwriting #amediting #author

Authors post something related to your last publication or WIP without context 🔥

Not a meme per se… but literally my MC trying to sort her shit out.

Cozy fixer-upper in the heart of the city! Features include plenty of ‘natural light’ (thanks to a recently removed wall), open floor plan (literally open), and a charming ‘scorched-earth chic’ aesthetic. Perfect for those who love a project and don’t mind the faint smell of burned flesh!

Classically trained healer seeking someone who won’t run when I accidentally set things on fire (long story). Loves music, collecting shiny objects, sunsets over the dunes, and long walks through treacherous caves filled with monsters.

Not me doing a final read through as I’m sending beta readers my work. 😫 #amwriting #amediting #betareaders

Bless him for having to put up with me.

I like to write that 🥵 #BookTok #BookSky #IndieAuthor

Ok, so writing the book was one thing. Editing was/is… something else. Now, as beta readers have started lining up, I’m overwhelmed by both the support and my unexpected anxiety and vulnerability of ACTUALLY putting my work out there. #amwriting #amediting #betareaders

MOOD

Me: You only have a final round of editing! You should get started. Also Me:

DYLAN MACINTYRE BOOKS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR: Children, People who clap when a plane lands, Houseplants (they don’t read), Time travelers from the 12th century, Frogs wearing little hats (no explanation provided),That one cousin who talks during movies, Those who dog ear book pages,Your ex.

Bro I'm so tired lmao 🫠 #WritingCommunity #Authors #Writing

Ok another round of editing down. Thanks to all the tips from editors and authors on here. You made my job so much easier. Time for a final read through… after a short break. 😴

‘Blood was trickling steadily onto the dusty, sunbaked street, forming dark red rivulets that seeped into the sandy cracks between the uneven cobblestones. The metallic tang of it mixed with the acrid stench of sweat and sand, hanging heavily in the dry, oppressive air.’ -Book 1 (name tba 😜)

🩷

In a world carved by magic and the will of gods, a being of unimaginable power has emerged, a woman who could ignite salvation or devastation. Hunted by enemies, haunted by destruction, and torn between fate and free will, she must master the fire within before it consumes her. #BluePit #amediting

It's Monday morning. There's coffee to drink, plotting to plan, and planning to procrastinate about. I'm on it! Just one more coffee first...

I hate that my brain is always thinking of the next thing before I finish the first. I’m so close to finishing my final edit, but I’m distracted with researching beta readers, book launch checklists, distribution, cover designs, etc 🫨 FINISH THE BOOK FIRST DYLAN! #amwriting #amediting #ampublishing
