Reminder - rejection is a sign of progress! "Practice, practice, practice until you eventually get numb on rejections" — Brian Klemmer #writingcommunity #querytrenches #amquerying

I love working on new magic systems! Internal logic and problem solving!

Does anyone else day dream fan-fic? Just drop one of your favorite characters into a TV show or movie and watch them take off on their own story line? Or am I just weird? #WritingCommunity #WritersLife

My body woke me up at 5 am for writing time. It's been a while since it did that! #5amWritersClub #BeforeTheKidsWake #amwriting #WritingCommunity

Let it universally be known that the calorie in the fries I steal from my kids happy meals does not count. #Parenting #ParentingLife

Happy Caturday, #5amwritersclub! I write surrounded by cats. They help the words come. Meow! 😻

I’m getting a paucity of information from my searches on how long a synopsis should be. Should it be 1000 words? 500 words? One of each to cater to agents preferences? Help me out here!!!!!! #querying #askanagent #writingLife #writingCommunity

Another student came up to me in class to tell me she had read one of my books posted to Wattpad! Won as a #writer #writingcommunity

Old age is knocking... starting with the click of random joints every morning when I stretch. #Adulting #Relatable #WritersLife

And my hope was in vain. The sixth sense strikes again and the three year old appears with his bed. #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub #parenting

And up for #5amWritersClub and hoping the 3 yr old’s sixth sense is not alerted to the fact that I’m awake. I have some #querying to do. #writingcommunity #parenting

'[...] the authors who are converting the most BookSky readers into customers are the ones who are using BookSky more like a normal reader than like an advertiser." As someone who buys a ton of books from indie authors I can tell you: 'Tis true. Pure ad post don't do much for me #WritingCommunity

A well-written book feels like a conversation with an old friend…it can be light & breezy or in-depth & troubling, but it’s always wanted. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #Ashcroft, #OlympusAwakening, & #TheClaimedSaga: #FoxFire, #MidnightPrincess, & #FieryWitch

🙌 Remember to rest & reset 🙌 #WritingCommunity #Inspire I'm sorry the QOTD is late again. I had a busy day.

I write what I enjoy reading ... because I have to read what I write. Everyone else have the option.

Cool...I guess no one wants a possible $150,000 pay out per title if they're part of the class for this lawsuit!!! #writingcommunity #booksky #writerslife #fuckAI

Happy Canada Day!

And you are worried your fingers can't keep up with the scene progressing in your head. #writingcommunity

Runner's high? What about the writer's high? When you're totally absorbed by the story, images pass your mind's eye and your fingers fly across the keyboard so fast, that everything else fades into the background and nothing remains but you and the lines your imagination creates. #WritingCommunity

Make sure to get 'em young. #WritingCommunity
