Let the revision begin! I'm more pantser than planner, so I never mapped out my book while writing, but I have plans to change my pacing a bit and found that I needed a visual for the revision. Pink post-its will be rewritten from scratch while yellow have smaller edits. #amediting #writingcommunity

I have glasses now and instead of being sad that this means my eyes are weakening with age, I’m going to focus on the idea that this makes me look more 💫literary💫 #writingcommunity

A man just gave me a weird look at the coffee shop after walking past me and I have to wonder if he read "upside down pineapple" in my manuscript. #authorsky #writingcommunity

Actually pretty shocked at how easily the ideas are flowing for this revise and resubmit 😍 I have a page of notes I’m excited about. #writingcommunity #authorsky

Officially one month in the trenches and as an anniversary gift I get... a revise and resubmit! I'm excited to incorporate the feedback and see what wild situations these characters of mine can get into based on it! #amwriting #amediting #amquerying #writingcommunity

Took my coffee on a lil trip to buy more coffee today.

As a rare extrovert of the writing world, I wish I could sit down and pitch every agent in person. Anyone else? #writingcommunity

It’s a red pen kind of day. #amwriting #amediting #amquerying #writingcommunity

Good morning from me, sitting in the pediatricians office with a migraine.

As a neurodivergent writer, I'm either writing one sentence or 200 pages at a time. There is no in between. #ADHD #writingcommunity

Was listening to The Resilient Writes Radio Show, and guest Lewis Jorstad said he didn't identify as a planner or a pantser but rather as a puzzler and I feel seen. #writingcommunity

This probably needs more context 🤣 4/6 - "Name" #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt #amquerying

The internal struggle of trying to figure out how many physical books to take on vacation. (Plus my Kindle).

My husband and I started “Running Point” last night on Netflix and accidentally binged half the season.

Finally encountered a #litagent form on QueryTracker that asked for a Bluesky account in addition to Twitter! (And yes, we are calling it Twitter.) #writingcommunity #amquerying

A refresh to wind down the day!

Wrote this guide to querying mostly to explain to friends and family what I'm up to, but also to help anyone who doesn't know where to start! #amquerying #amwriting #litagents #writingcommunity

"Someone else will snap this up!" 🤞 From a different full rejection! I wanted to share some of the roller coaster that is querying. #amquerying #writingcommunity

"I really enjoyed your compulsively readable narrative style, your very strong premise, and thoroughly loveable characters. This is a very strong novel, so it came down only to personal taste." Choosing pride over disappointment from this full rejection! #writingcommunity #amquerying
