WHERE DID ALL OF MY WRITING FRIENDS GO?! ๐ฑ YOU'RE DISAPPEARING FROM MY FEED AND IT'S SAD ๐ญ
If you're a writer and see this, can you please leave a like or a comment? ๐
Being a writer means you tear your hair out trying to fix a plot hole for hours, give up, wallow in a self existential crisis, only to come up with a brilliant solution later when making waffles ๐
I'm not going to lie, it's been rough lately...But seeing a FULL REQUEST pop up in my inbox? Suddenly those dark skies look a little brighter. ๐ฅน๐ญ
I queried an agent and it wasn't a particular fit for them, but they referred me to a different agent and IT TURNED INTO A FULL REQUEST ๐๐๐
Shoot your shot! You never know what it may turn into~๐๐ซ
Have you ever taken a bit of a break from writing and started to miss your characters like they're not just figments of your imagination, but like they're your friends? Or am I just weird? ๐๐คฃ

I'm curious, does anyone use anything OTHER than a computer to write? Journal? Typewriter? Some other various gadget? Or has the PC become your lifeline? ๐ค

Hey everyone! I'm a YA fantasy romance writer that's new to the Twitter scene! I'm hoping to connect with other writers, help motivate each other, and wrangle this manuscript into something that's semi-good. ๐๐

Due to personal mental health issues I need to step away from Twitter. I hope you find peace, hold your love ones tightly, and cherish every moment together.
DON'T ๐ SELF ๐ REJECT ๐
We face endless rejection. I know it can be daunting sending that query, but PLEASE, just do it. Don't let the doubt win. You've created art, and your story deserves to be told. Never forget that, no matter how dark it may get. ๐ค
Just hit 50,000 words in my WIP, and the OBSESSION. IS. REAL. I can't stop thinking about these characters! Every night I'm frantically jotting down notes as the inspiration continues to flow. This creative nirvana reminds why I love writing so very much ๐๐ค
Hey, friends! I needed to take some time away to prioritize my personal life & my own mental health. I'm in a brighter, safer headspace now. I'm pouring myself into my new WIP & I can't wait to share more. Thank you for your kindness. It means more than you can imagine. ๐ค

#PitDark
is almost here, and I'm so excited to see all of your wonderful pitches light up (or darken๐ฆ) my feed ๐ If you'd like to support one another, please like or comment and I'll add you to my list ๐
Querying can change how you perceive writing. It can sap the joy from building worlds; the splendour from creating lives. Please take a moment to remember everything you've accomplished. You succeed EVERY DAY when you shape your dreams and pour them for the world. Keep going. ๐ค
Receiving a personalized rejection on a query is a gift. Even a few lines of specific feedback make all the difference between feeling deflated, and feeling motivated to continue. To any agent that may read this, it means more than you could possibly imagine ๐ซถ
As writers we face a lot of rejection. That pain can crack the soul, but it's something I don't take for granted, either. It's a beautiful thing to chase your dreams, and this heartbreak is just another reminder of that beauty. If you're going through it, please don't give up. ๐ค
The pitch events ARE BACK! I say, keep 'em coming! I'm so hyped to participate in

GOOD VIBES ONLY ๐ค
#FULLREQUESTFRIDAYS
MAGIC IS IN FULL EFFECT ๐ฏ๏ธ MAY ALL YOUR INBOXES FIND FULLS AND OFFERS OF REP ๐โจ
Whether you've been querying for a day, a month, or a yearโI see you. Comparison can be the thief of joy, but the community we've fostered isn't one of competition. We're here to lift each other up & find the strength we forget we have.
We're stronger together ๐ค
To my friends in the

You ARE good enough! Your story IS worth telling. Ever felt like quitting? Know that someone out there is just waiting to be forever changed by your words. As a writer, you make a huge impact, & the world needs you. Keep going :)

My rational thoughts: Remember, a first draft is where you tell yourself the story. You can make tweaks and adjustments later. Try not to worry ๐
My actual thoughts: EVERY LINE NEEDS TO BE PERFECT THE PLOT THE CHARACTERIZATION THE WORLD BUILDING MUST BE FLAWLESS ๐ฑ
#PitDark
has been AMAZING! If you keep stealing my breath, I'm going to be in trouble ๐ I'm headed into the office now & will have limited phone access. I've gone over my entire list & I don't want to miss ANYONE! Please let me know if I've missed you, and I'll fix that! ๐๐๐ซถ

#FullRequestFridays
IS BACK ๐
๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฏ๏ธMAY YOUR INBOX BE BLESSED WITH ITS MAGIC๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฏ๏ธ
I've been diving into my new WIP and it's made me remember how much I love to write. I feel like a kid again, sitting on the playground with one of my journals, obsessed and oblivious to the world. Writing can be so magical. ๐โจ
Do you keep a file for deleted scenes and sections you're fond of but just couldn't fit in? Or is that just me? I have a dedicated "Home for The Unused" section so that those poor words can have a home and still feel the love ๐ค๐

On this Monday morning, it's the "maybes" that captivate my heart. Whether your maybe is from a query, or a full request, or something entirely different, I hope your uncertainties become a little more certain, and that you have a wonderful start to your week. ๐๐๐ค
There's nothing quite so uniquely devastating as the email notification popping up when querying. That blend of hope and sheer terror is so weirdly addictive...Even if it leaves me breathless every time ๐ถ
Hit 70,000 words on my WIP! ๐ There's nothing more motivating than living through the querying trenches & channeling all of those emotions into something new. NOW THIS BOOK HAS MY HEART I CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE MORE ๐ญ
Before querying: "Oh, 15 emails? That's fine, I'll check those later."
While querying: "THERE'S A NEW EMAIL DROP EVERYTHING AND CHECK IT IMMEDIATELY"
Anyone else like this too? ๐ ๐
After back to back pitch events, I am FEELING it today. The exhaustion is real, both mental and physical, but I'm willing to crawl out of bed if
#FullRequestFridays
wants to do its thing ๐๐
Anyone else recovering, too? ๐ช
Hopping on that
#writerslift
train! I'd love to meet other writers, whether you make short stories, novels, poetry, I'm game ๐ I'll follow anyone that likes and comments! TIME TO UNITE
#writingcommmunity
Yeah, so this has been a rough week, and I think we all could use some
#FullRequestFridays
magic.
The most important step is always the next one. Keeping believing, friends.
Daring to hope as a writer is a dangerous thing. We're faced with so much rejection, and it's so easy to fear this new week will be the same.
But I refuse to let that flame of hope die. I won't stop believing this is THE week. Believe with me, friends. ๐๐ฏ๏ธ
BRING. ON. AUGUST.
I hope your creativity flows freely, your inbox is bountiful (rejections NOT allowed), and that each day is brighter than the last. ๐
#SummerWriting
Working on a new project while querying has been a GAME CHANGER. I've poured the pain of every rejection into my new WIP, and now I've got this dark little monster of a book that I adore. What started as the ultimate distraction has turned into the book of my heart. ๐๐ค
To my friends in the

Hey

When you stumble upon that single line of dialogue between the protag and their love interest and you realize there's no turning back. I'm officially obsessed forever and they're so violently cute together and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH ๐ญ
As someone who struggles with anxiety & panic attacks, I understand how the mind can focus on the shadows instead of the light.
But please remember you are beautiful when broken down. You are strong even if you cannot stand.
& you are never alone ๐ค

Well, that wasn't my weekend, but I'm ready to put that behind me and charge into this week with GOOD. VIBES. ONLY.
Here's to another week in the querying trenches, friends! It's going to be a good one. I can feel it. โจ๐๐ซถ
For everyone that is or has edited, how much did your story change? Were there any drastic differences from the first draft, or did you just need to tighten some parts up? ๐ค

That feeling when you reach the point in your WIP where you can FINALLY start introducing characters you've been dreaming of for months. Seeing their names written on the page for the first time is a special kind of joy. ๐ฅฐ
In the land of delulu, Monday's are the best day of the week where nothing can go wrong and everyone's inbox is graced with something wonderful.
Come be delulu with me? ๐๐๐ฏ๏ธ
I'm at the point where I've started sliding the word 'vague' into work conversations at my day job, trying to summon offers of rep into existence.
Yeah, I've gone full delulu.๐ฑ๐

I'm lucky enough to spend my balloon day in the embrace of the one I love ๐โค๏ธ We treated ourselves to our first record player, and those dulcet tones have proved the perfect soundtrack (even if Happy isn't a fan!)
From our home to yours, I hope you're having a wonderful day ๐
It's a new week.
A new week brimming with possibility.
A new week where a special email might just find its way to your inbox.
A new week that could bring the call you've dreamt of so many times.
It's a new week, and I sincerely hope it's the week you've been waiting for. ๐
Sunlight is struggling to break through the storm clouds overhead, but that's fine with me. This scene I'm writing is delectably dark, and a little mood lighting never hurt ๐ค๐ฏ๏ธ

I know it's Monday (and it's oh so easy to hate Mondays...) but that doesn't mean it needs to be a bad day!
I'm manifesting full requests, offers of rep, and the warmth of a stranger's smile for you. ๐
Let's take back Mondays, friends.
Everything about my schedule whispers that it'll be just another regular day...
But what if it isn't?
What if the Universe howls with excitement and possibility?
You never know when a regular day suddenly becomes unforgettable.
Wishing you all a wonderful Friday ๐๐
WHAT'S UP MONDAY
Let's purge that weird melancholy thing that came on last week and start this week off with inboxes blessed with the email you've been dreaming of.ย ๐๐๐ฏ๏ธโจ
I was lucky enough to read
@RichardAHJr
's book, and friends, let me tell you, it's got everything I love. A large, fleshed out friend group. Pulse pounding cliffhangers. Humor that had me snorting. It's the perfect blend of horror and heart. ๐ค
Viviana's amazing idea & kind words inspired me to share my new mood board!
While there are EPIC romances, it was most important to highlight positive representation for mental health in a fantasy landscape.
If you are struggling with anxiety & panic attacks, you are not alone.
Have you ever had to take that good, hard look at your WIP and realize that it might be unsalvagable? That it might have been a learning process, and you'll need to move on from it? It almost feels like losing a loved one, but I think that's where I'm at.

Hey Monday, I know it's a lot to ask, but can you try to be a little more gentle today? I'm not sure I can handle your usual Monday-ness right now. That cool with you, Universe?
