Consider how books are marketed and sold when pitching. What in your story would catch a reader's eye? What about it is most likely to make an agent go, "I would request pages of this"? Those things should be in your pitch. Also, follow up with agents who engage with your pitches.

Hi, I'm Kengo! I primarily write gay romance in real-world or fantasy settings. Character-driven ideas inspire me most, but a good plot hook is hard to ignore. I started writing as a teen when my then-girlfriend said she wrote stories. I wanted to impress her by saying I did too. #BluePitHype

Beyond floored and honored to share that Reactor Mag picked out my short story Monologue as a must-read short speculative fiction work for January: reactormag.com/must-read-sh... Surreal and humbling to see myself in one of these lists, but I'm tremendously excited about it.

Excited to share a short story of mine called Monologue is in the most recent issue of Baffling Magazine: www.bafflingmag.com/issue-fourte... It's in very good company, as the other stories in the issue are magnificent. Give the whole thing a read! www.bafflingmag.com/issue-fourteen

the book should simply edit itself to be exactly the way I want it to be without me having to go through my extremely convoluted editing process (that I do of my own volition) just to get to a second draft all of this is to say I'm approaching the 100 page mark and it feels good and also bad

As usual I forget to post about writing, but I went on a nice vacation to visit family in November and completely stopped thinking about NaNoWriMo while I was there. Finishing that story is still on the docket, but the vacation made me aware of how little free time I spend actually relaxing

not much of any writing today, and the writing I got done yesterday is for a scene much later in the book that I can't even use yet, but you know, I'm still feeling good about it thus far, which is better than I can say for most years of nanowrimo, especially in the middle of week 3

broke 20k words tonight, still behind but keeping apace. feeling optimistic about nanowrimo even though this is the least prepared I've ever felt for it, it's kind of just happening

today's goal was 20k, I am ending it at 18,602. the gap is closing, if I can get through enough writing and also get through this upcoming work week, I should be all clear to catch up and finish nanowrimo with time to spare over my vacation

just under a day behind on NaNoWriMo, if I can get over 2k tomorrow and the day after I'll be right back on track. if not for prior plans I'd had for November 1st, I think I would be doing pretty well. progress is progress though, so, onward

goal for today: catch up

I should have made this account some time ago, given how little time I spent talking about writing on Twitter to begin with. Nonetheless, I'm here now, so here we go.
