Being a writer means confidently knowing how a fictional stranger would react to betrayal while having absolutely no idea what I want for lunch.

This is your reminder that publishing is not a straight line. It's a squiggle. And everyone's squiggle looks different.

I've shelved 7 books that I've written so far after querying on-and-off for almost ~2 decades. Doesn't mean I'm giving up - just that it isn't the right time for it to shine out there. (Also needs a lot of squeaky-clean polishing here and there too lol!) 😅

Apparently the scammers are at it again! If you receive an email from "someone" at FinePrint Lit offering you representation, IT'S NOT REAL! The only way we offer rep is through a phone call to the author. As if being an author wasn't hard enough already. #scam #authors

I do not think it is possible to do this. The world today is so different from the one I grew up in. If you add cell phones into a story that doesn't have them, there are so many "why didn't they--" questions that arise.

You can become disabled or chronically ill at any time. You can become homeless at any time. They aren’t moral failings. They are minority groups that anyone can join. When you lose your health, your finances often follow. Very few people are the “exception”

I agree with this one! The book I'm currently pitching went through easily 20+ drafts before I settled for the manuscript I currently have. First drafts aren't meant to be perfect - it's meant to be riddled with flaws, full-on messy and helps lay down the groundwork for the real story afterwards. 👍

Thank you so much to everyone who shared & reposted both of my #SFPit posts earlier! I haven't been paying much attention to any pitching events for the last few months, but I decided to give this one a go since it's almost impossible to sell a science fantasy novel these days. Until next time! 🌺

Your early draft is never wasted. It taught you structure. It sharpened your instincts. It proved you can finish things. Those drafts are the soil your story grows in.

Must we still write to the current tastes/trends in the market, or can we still write the way we love about the things we love, even if those books might never 'fit' what readers want out there? I have so many stories I wish to write, but I'm afraid they'll never be loved as they are. #amwriting

Been finding a lot of solace in my garden lately. It's been stressful ever since I decided to self-pub my minibook - still trying to learn how to format it properly in ebook format before putting it up on KDP (most likely). Still squeezing in some last minute edits though. #amediting #booksky
