The odds of getting traditionally published (1-2%), is around the same as the percentage of actors (2%) who are able to make a living with acting. Let that sink in. #writingcommunity, you are defying the odds.

I'm proud of myself for investing in myself in multiple ways this past year: jumping into the trenches; trusting my instincts in terms of revisions; tackling different genres; pushing through the lows; finding inspiration amid demoralization... so many things, actually! #writingcommunity

I’ve been quieter this last year due to some life matters & the pitch space having been saturated this fall, but please know we’re still here & rooting for you! Until our next event in the new year: What are you proud of yourself for as we end the year #writingcommunity ?

What do you think #writingcommunity? The #YouDeservepIt events used to be fall & spring but so many events have popped up which is becoming an over saturation issue for the entire industry (authors, editors, agents). To help with this, I’m thinking about shifting to 1x/year.

Hi everyone! Pitch events have become SO over saturated lately, so I’m considering having #YouDeservepIt 1x/yr now. But before I decide in knowing how much this event means for some of you, I want to hear from you! What do you think? #writingcommunity #agents #editors

Forgive yourself for rookie mistakes. Being excited for your first book IS a celebration + finding the next step on the path takes time and patience. You learned from your 'jump into querying too too fast' & you're not going to do it again. Progress is counted in years not days. #writingcommunity

👏🏻No agent likes doesn’t mean your work is shit.👏🏻No agent likes doesn’t define your story’s worth.👏🏻 Are they nice, validating, & motivating? Abso-fucking-lutely. But not getting one doesn’t mean your work is shit. A lot of it is the luck of the algo. #YouDeservepIt

Be patient. I’ve already accepted that statistically, I won’t get an agent fast once I query, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen. I’d rather it take time and find the right agent and face some rejection to get my novel in the right hands!

#YouDeservepIt You got this, keep writing. The stories you have in your head are worth sharing with the world, or at the very least, getting down on paper. Go crazy, go wild, but be coherent. lol But most importantly, Don't Stop!! #writingcommunity #skywriter #writer #author #writerlife

Number 6 pre #YouDeservepIt What makes me feel most alive is that middle of the night spark, the moment that makes you scribble notes on scraps of paper and make incoherent notes to your future self on your phone. That's the feeling I keep chasing-- and mostly missing. #writingcommunity

Success as a writer (or in any profession really) doesn't happen overnight, and the people who look like they've had overnight success have been putting in years of work into their writing, editing, and re-writing. You can't rush the process, and feeling like things are slow is okay! #YouDeservepIt
