I love when I tell myself “just a quick writing session”—and suddenly it’s 2:00 AM, I’m crying over fictional people, and my stomach is yowling because I skipped dinner. #writing #writingcommunity #booksky

finally getting around to reading Save the Cat! ... hoping this awakens some long dormant plotting ability in my mind

Haha glad I’m not alone! I’m sure eventually it will become natural for us to skip them tho. I used to use passive voice a lot and in this manuscript I realized I hardly used it at all - small wins!

spending so much time editing out filters in my writing — next draft I am going to ban these words from the get-go 💀

currently rewatching THE VAMPIRE DIARIES for the 100th time -- I must write something that matches this vibe!!

I’m thrilled to announce that I am now represented by @agentismita.bsky.social at @greatdoglit.bsky.social !! Ismita’s enthusiasm for my dark YA thriller blew me away, and I’m so excited to start working with her on making this novel the best it can be!

Feeling lucky today: got a free cannoli with my pizza slice at Farinella and a wonderful agent just liked my agent guide! Off to play the lotto now xoxo

Is this common? I got one too on a full and I met the agent at a conference in person so it stung a bit. I thought most agents gave some color on fulls but unsure bc that was my first full request. Either way, stay strong!!!
