When writing inspiration hits it’s a truly wondrous thing. 500 words in 15 mins is a personal ATH - On my phone no less! Hopefully I can keep these creative juices flowing. #writingcommunity #amwriting

I'm curious, #agented crowd: how long did the person who eventually became your agent have your full before they contacted you about The Call? Asking for the #amquerying crowd.

I’ve been wanting to vent about current politics in my writing and just realized my WIP about the tyrannical regime in Cuba has some great parallels to today that I can leverage. Yay? 😩 #amwriting #writingcommunity #skywriters

Fingers crossed for at least some constructive feedback on this query!!! I won't get my hopes up for a full, but I won't be mad if it happens. #amquerying #writingcommunity

Sometimes it feels as if all we are doing is moving backwards. There will always be roadblocks. We need to try finding a way around them. #SaturdaySayings #WritingCommunity

✨Manifesting a full request Friday ✨ No reason it should work this week as opposed to any other but it’s worth the try. Good luck to everyone in the query trenches ❤️ #amquerying #writingcommunity

Where do you do your best writing? At a desk? In bed? On your phone while you sit on the toilet? An inquiring mind wants to know, as it has lost its favorite writing spots to its children. It’s me - I lost my office to the pre-tween and need a new cozy spot to write. #writingcommunity #skywriters

This doesn’t include my genre so sadly I won’t be participating but I hope you do! The best feedback I’ve gotten has been from agents, so I hope you take the opportunity #writingcommunity #skywriters

Scammers are working overtime, #writers. No legit publisher will ask you for money for their services. (vanity presses notwithstanding, but imho vanity presses are mostly terrible) Money flows to the author, not the other way around. They prey on our desire to be successful. #writingcommunity

Is it just me or does #skywriters feels like it would be such a better handle for the #writingcommunity here?

I've got 15 new agents in the query-hopper ready for me to email! I'm not writing any query emails until my head is clear from the flu, however. Given the frequent use of my delete button and social post edit functions in the last few days it seems a wise decision. #amquerying #writingcommunity

Despite being a thriller writer, when I’m stressed and need an escape I ALWAYS binge romance. Anyone else have a mismatch in their writing genre with their reading/watching/listening genre? #writingcommunity #skywriters

TIL the flu gives you bizarre, vivid dreams. I should take advantage and do some short story writing. Not sure where the dream of me breaking into my boss’s house, eating her food, being chased by her and getting into a fist fight will take a story but I’m open to finding out. #writingcommunity

If you’re looking to level up your manuscript, I highly recommend listening to Brandon Sanderson’s writing class recordings on YouTube. Even though I don’t write fantasy (yet), it was a great opportunity to evaluate my story mechanics and step back to check on my structure. #writingcommunity

Heading back into lit agent research mode while I wait for responses. Send wine. And maybe some acid reducers. #amquerying #writingcommunity

Hey #writingcommunity! It's been a while. Question for those who have gone through your #amquerying trenches: For queries you submit through email, how long do you wait until you move on from those queries, especially if you submitted over the holidays? I'm coming up on 2.5 months on some.

You know the "Stop scrolling and do [something productive]" videos? I need that for life to remind me to park my butt and write. Ex: I'm cooking dinner & the onions spell out "stop cooking and go write your book!" in the skillet. Or an Alexa reminder. Either would work. #writingcommunity #amwriting

Beta readers are the life blood of the writer! I can’t even begin to describe how much their feedback has improved my manuscript over the last couple years. #writingcommunity

I'm surprised at the interest level of my Goodreads account based on click rates in my Linktree. #askagents what other info are you looking for from your querying writers? #writingcommunity

Trying to encourage myself to keep going with my writing and querying journey. Some days you just need little reminders that someone out there is enjoying your work - that’s when screenshots of past praise can become your best friend and cheerleader. Keep going, #writingcommunity

Still sitting in the query trenches waiting for the holiday pause to end. I appreciate not getting a rejection during the holidays but I think I’d prefer it over waiting for a response (assuming I even get one). #writingcommunity #amquerying
