You know when you have a dream for publishing, & you’re yet to reach that dream after years of heartache, & then others (very deservedly so) get that dream within days? 🫠 can I be proud of others & also hate myself? Time to buy more books to fill a dopamine cavern.

Is anyone else feeling emotionally exhausted from querying? I haven't felt this emotionally drained since I was 13 years old when my crush broke up with me and I thought my life was over. #amquerying

Don’t be like this thief, people. Stealing is gross. It infuriates me when people brush off a writer’s anxiety and say things like “oh stop worrying” and “no one will ever steal your unpublished work” because YES👏THEY👏WILL👏

Just going to keep casually dropping moodboards for my #amquerying horror. Just in case agents are lurking… It’s got reapers, poltergeists, zombies, & a sassy 7-year-old. And a badass grandma ghost who would burn the world down just to stay with her family. #writingcommunity

@rkwashburn Sorry that sucks 😕 With the wrong title is it worth responding to double check, just in case they sent it to the wrong person? Or is it more a typo in the title situation?

Just had my 2nd dietitian appt & was nice to hear that she’s really proud of the work I’ve been doing. Small steps, but I’m determined to find my way back to a strong & healthy body. Today I have the energy to go to the gym, which never happens on a Friday. #ibdwarrior #spoonie

Is there anything better than finally getting home after a three hour trip, realising you have to make dinner but can’t be bothered going out again, then remembering you have cooked mince in the freezer and a bag of corn chips in the cupboard? Nachos for the win 🎉🎉

This will be my sci-fi’s last hurrah as well! Two years querying, 150 odd rejections/no responses. 4 fulls, with no offers. Let’s just see what happens, one last time 🤞💖 then on to new and bigger projects!

#pitdark peeps! Who’s swapping support this time? I’m rarely here nowadays but I’ll give it a go, and will check back in later to build a list. Also is it just me or do you prefer comments over retweets too? I feel like it’s more personal that way. #writingcommunity #amquerying

That mild panic when you come across an agency you KNOW you've read through before but can't find any evidence of querying them. Their #mswl all seem perfect for my ms! Why didn't I query them before, what if I did query them already? #writingcommunity #amquerying #sendhelp

Rediscovered why I’m such a pessimist today. I told my mum I won a crochet competition (got two books and kits worth probably $200), and her reaction was “oh. Well it’s a scam for sure don’t follow through with it.”

Ever write a line and think, hm this is too pretty. And google says it’s not already in a book. But imposter syndrome says it’s either something you’ve heard before & you’re unintentionally stealing someone’s work, or it’s poop & you’re a bad writer. #writingcommunity #amediting

It’s an overcast Sunday morning & I made a moodboard 💖 Love the subtle contemporary Aussie and ‘cosy’ vibes in this. The 1st third of this ms reminds me of Elin Hilderbrand’s Golden Girl, with a mum that has been too quickly taken from her family. #writingcommunity #amquerying
