I think I just submitted the final draft of my book to my agent. If she agrees, we go on sub soon!

If you ever feel like you waited too long to chase your dreams, or you’re too old to publish that book you wrote, you might like my new substack on being a middle-aged writer. Check it out: substack.com/@musingsofal...

As soon as you figure out that you’re on the wrong train, get off and go back or go another way. The longer you stay on the wrong train, the harder it will be to get on the right train. I’m not really talking about trains.

Sometimes you have to write the thing to know if the idea is going to work or not. I recently got five chapters into a WIP before realizing I just didn’t care enough about the characters to continue. My computer is like a graveyard of half-written book ideas. Do you have any abandoned books?

One of my favorite parts of writing for kids is being able to bounce ideas off my own kids and get their reactions. They love hearing what I’m working on and I can’t wait for them to see one of the books we wrote together in a store or library. #kidlit #middlegrade #YA

Just a few days until the Kidlit for LA auction for wildfire relief closes! We have not yet met the $120,000 goal, so make sure to bid on a manuscript critique (PB or MG/YA) from me or the many amazing items from stellar editors, agents, & authors. #kidlit www.32auctions.com/kidlitforlosangeles

Querying is no joke. I was rejected over 150 times across two novels. Some weeks I’d receive 5 or 6 rejections back to back. It can be soul crushing. I had to remind myself that writing is art, but publishing is a business. Writers, how many rejections did you get? #querying #author

So my agent thinks my book will go on sub in a couple months. Authors who have been on sub, what was your experience like? Are there any groups I can join for authors on sub? I’m trying to prepare myself for anything to happen. #writers #authors

I’ve got a few ideas for what I want to write next, but I’m struggling to pick one to focus on. How do you decide between book ideas when writing? #writing #authors #writers
