Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Just needed to share that I edited 6,000 words today for my second draft and I'm feeling really proud of myself. I'm more than halfway done with Draft 2, and I'm (hopefully) done with all the chapters that need full rewrites! Glad I pushed through the sucky days! #writing #writingcommunity #author 240
Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 11/02/2025That could easily be it. A lot of agents I've researched don't even bother responding to queries that are above the recommended word count for the genre. At the very least, it's worth looking into the suggested word count and paring down where you can! Congrats on the full request, btw! 010

Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 07/02/2025I've noticed a lot of agents opening up for queries in February, and with MSWL Day coming up next week, I'd say it's as good a time as any! 110
Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 07/02/2025In the editing slog for the first time right now, and every edit just creates more necessary edits. I'm convinced I will never finish 😂 110

Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Had a minor work burnout over the weekend and now all I want to do is edit silly videos. Someone please make me get off my phone and start editing this next chapter 😅 #writingcommunity #writer #help 160
Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 05/02/2025I've found that, since Bluesky doesn't seem to have an algorithm, I really have to search out the content I want to see. Which is both nice and not so nice 😂 PS I post bookish/writing content sometimes, but it might not be what you're looking for 😘 110
Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 05/02/2025I feel that, but mostly because I don't have my heater on, so my fingers are cold and don't want to listen to me when I try to move them 😅 110

Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 03/02/2025Yay cozy fantasy! You're so smart not to worry about word count! My first draft didn't even hit 70,000 words, but it was exactly what it needed to be. Now that I'm editing, I'm making so many changes that that original word count didn't matter at all! 100

Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 03/02/2025My healthy writing habit is that I schedule my writing time week by week. At the beginning of every week, I decide on what days I will focus on writing and for how long, and I stick to it. It's helpful for people like me who hate routine, because you can change things up every week! #writer 250

Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 03/02/2025I'm so jealous! I love snow 😢 I'm trying to keep the winter vibes going to keep my writing cozy, but it's hard when it's pouring down rain outside 😂 110
Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 03/02/2025Don't mind me, I'm just trying to get good at book photography before I actually have to use it to sell my own book. What's that? If I don't put down the camera and start editing, I won't have a book to sell? Shhhhhhh. 010
Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 02/02/2025I looked these up, and the Broken Earth series and Children of Blood and Bone are both on KU! Automatic download. Thank you for the recommendations!! 010
Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Looking to add more BIPOC authors to my TBR, especially now that it's #BlackHistoryMonth . Any recommendations?

Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Personally, if you've already nudged them after 4 days, I'd assume a rejection and go with the offer on the table. You could always nudge them once more if they're a dream agent, though. 000
Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 01/02/2025To all the well-meaning people who said "Why don't you write it?" when I lamented my ideal book not existing: Did you understand the consequences? #writingcommunity #books #authorlife 093
Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Somehow managed to bring the perfect book for the café I stopped in between jobs. The entire menu was monochromatic! #books #bookcommunity #reader 050
Altia Yarrow @altiayarrow.bsky.social · 31/01/2025That's amazing! If I don't have 3 drafts of an outline in increasing levels of detail, I have the hardest time writing. Granted, I also change things as I write, but sometimes I have to go back and change the outline first! 000
