#AmQuerying #WritingCommunity #QueryTrenches A friend commented on my post about making timeline charts for my #Romantasy series. Said - why didn’t you just use AI for it? You would have saved yourself a world of pain - for a moment I was shocked. I thought, was I stupid? Should I have 🧵

Tired from waiting on queries - decided to go out to distract myself (after weeks of staying in). Didn’t drink, wore sneakers but still managed to twist my ankle & fall. Now, gotta deal with a swollen ankle & bloody knee ALONG with waiting on queries.🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ #QueryTrenches #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

AmQuerying WritingCommunity Work I’m doing before starting Book 2 of my Fantasy Romance series. 1: basic plot graph w/exactly what happens in each section. 2: has occupied my every thought for the last 10 days — An entire timeline for book 1 that blends into book 2.

A graph spanning the beginning, middle and end of a book. It shows 6 points. 1: exposition 2: conflict 3: rising action 4: climax 5: falling action 6: resolution. Under each point there is text of what my books includes that I’ve crossed out to keep the content confidential.

Image is titled : Esmera Timeline. It is a timeline chart with 4 lines evenly placed on the image. Each line has 10 points. Each point is the date system I used in my novel below which is the chapter number and below that are bullet points describing what happens on those dates in those chapters. I have scribbled out the content to keep it confidential.

Wanted to start book 2 of my 4 book series this week. But I spent the whole week making timelines, character profiles, other continuity sh*t + querying agents for book 1.. cherry on top? The rejections I got in less then 24 hours = 4 How are the rest of you doing ? #AmQuerying #QueryTrenches

Today, I started work on book 2 of my Romantasy series. Spent 7 hours trying to figure out how create a timing template that I can use for the whole series &how to make a massive printable pdf of it. I tried canva, then excel. Asked AI a million ‘how to’ Q’s. Then decided to…not use it. Kill me now.

I’m having a really hard time enjoying my self-imposed month long vacay from writing coz I’m constantly fretting about my queries that are out there. Normally, I get out of this funk by writing but it’s vacay time.. see my dilemma? 🥹 Anyone else going through this too? #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

ATTENTION: Authors in the Query Trenches I want to acknowledge every single one of us going thru this, and how much effort it takes. Perfecting every single query to every agent you’ve handpicked in the hopes of one day signing with them. It’s bloody hard. Cheers to us & keep going!💪🏼 #AmQuerying

I’m back in the query treanches with my new Romantasy (Romance Fantasy) MS & it feels like such an accomplishment but.. I’m also back to feeling like a nervous wreck. I love and hate this part of being an author. Exciting and terrifying in equal measure. How do you feel while querying ? #AmQuerying

Just finished reading #MetalSlinger and that plot twist towards the end. Oh my God ! I’m shook and even though everyone was saying, ‘that plot twist is insane’ & I knew there was going to be one, it just took me completely by surprise. Insane. Never read a twist like that before! #ReadingCommunity

MYTH: CATS DON'T COMFORT YOU WHEN YOU ARE SICK. Last night I wasn't well when I went to bed. Lily, my rescue Indy doesn't like to sleep in bed with me. Last night she cuddled w/me over the blankets as I spent hours tossing,turning, not once did she leave me. She was awake the whole time, purring.

So, The Buccaneers S-2 Ep-6. This is why unfinished books shouldn’t be turned into a film or show. I think they decided to hire George R. R. Martin for this episode. Like seriously. W.T.A.F.

Okay, Question: what was the most recent stupid thing you did while working on your manuscript? Asking coz I did something stupid and I want to feel less alone. Note: the wilder and crazier the answer, the better I’ll feel 😉 #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying #AuthorsofBlueSky

My first real writer’s block — I struggled to come up with an opening scene that needed changing. So I spent the last week, not working and focused on whatever I felt like doing. Today, I hashed out the scene with ease. Sometimes, you really need to, ‘give it time’🌟 #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

I swear… if I see one more ad on insta on how to turn my fallen/pulled out teeth into a bracelet, I’m going to blow a lid. Even if I put all the awful things happening in the world on the side, the world is still going down the dumpster. What are we doing to ourselves ?!?

It’s been a while since I’ve come here to Bluesky. The last 2 weeks have been extremely emotionally challenging. Today was the first day that I could fathom working and got a good amount done on my MS. The anxiety is mostly gone, and I’m grateful to be alive & happy. #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

People wonder if our phones are listening to our conversations. My Facebook stream is filled with palatial house and castle posts and this is what I dream of everyday, yet never talk about it. So, I guess I’m wondering if my phone can hear my thoughts and dreams 👀 #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

When I first wrote the prologue for my current #WIP I thought it was the best thing I’d ever written. Thought that was the one thing I would never remove. Then, I hired a book dev consultant. 1 month later, that prologue has been scrapped. Editing is heart-wrenching. #Amquerying #WritingCommunity

My two cents on the Lively/Baldoni drama unfolding all over the news. If either of them felt assaulted in any shape or form, file a criminal case. For the news outlets reporting it, there are serious, large-scale issues our world is currently facing. Focus on that plz & for Gods’ sake, LET THIS GO!
