Thanks for the encouragement, and the engagement. I really do appreciate it.

That’s amazing. I actually love that, lol.

The parameters, and backgrounds makes sense. Unfortunately, I can assure you I spent more time researching their MSWL then they spent looking at my query. I get it, these are just the rules of the game. I’m just wondering why.

I wonder if it’s human at all. Feels impossible for a human to see and reject a query in that amount of time given the amount of queries they receive in the first place.

I’m 100% on board with the industry’s demand for 'soul & intentionality' to keep AI out of books. We need that human heart. But where’s the soul in rejecting that human work in under 10 minutes? #amquerying #writesky #booksky #amwriting

Hey #TeamAmethyst, as #RevPitWaiting draws to a close with winner announcements soon, I just want to say I’m both excited to work on my winning book and sad that I couldn’t pick all of you. I’m so grateful you chose me as one of your editors and trusted me with your words. #RevPit 💜💎

He's incredible. Have you ever watched any of his recording sessions? It's insane to see him just channel all of these people.

Do you also do the audiobooks?

There’s nothing better than feeling like, I know this person, after just a few lines. It’s really underrated.

For me, it’s voice, polish, and understanding what is happening. This is of course assuming the book is in a genre that I enjoy 😉

I wrote the first six chapters of book 2, but I did that a while ago. I do have a side project that I’m really loving, and needed only the slightest nudge to go work on anyway, lol.

Thank you so much for this practical tip. That makes so much sense!

Jay Busta @jbusta214.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

Wow, kudos to you. I’ve just finished my first and 6 chapters into a sequel / 2 chapters into a completely new book. Best of luck querying!

Thats awesome! What do you usually write? How many novels have you written?

Did you go with something wildly different than your sub submission?

I could not have said it better myself.

I haven't read your work yet, but I already want a spinoff. I do something similar with my AI, Vega-5. She tries to be helpful, but she has a lot of personalities trapped in there and each of them have their idea of "helpful". The only thing they have in common, sarcasm and humor.

That sounds like such a fun core memory.

Whoa, that’s fantastic! Nice job

Funny giant talking spider? Say less.

Whoa. That is incredibly creative! And I had a grandma like that. 😅🤷🏽‍♂️

That’s the best, when it just waterfalls onto the keyboard.

It's a mystery about three kids who disappeared during an eclipse 50 years ago. I actually use video game sequences as one of the protagonists gets pulled into a virtual game world to solve mysteries as the story progresses. What about yours??

wow, great job! That is a lot of words.

I'm more of a "ask for forgiveness" kind of person, so until someone tells me otherwise, that's the name!

😅 yeah me either, asking for a friend

Yeah, haha- it made me laugh. Not sure if there are copyright issues there

The new work is called “Senior Player One” and happens current day or near future where my MG series takes place in the late 80s. If you’re bored, I’ve only written 2 chapters, I’d be happy to share. Also, zero pressure.

I love it. That’s so smart. I have so many ideas that are completely different but am honestly a little scared to start!
