Going through #HiveMentor subs again today. And #WritingCommunity, the quality is astounding! I'm so proud of y'all! Writing a book is hard. Making it this difficult to narrow down my VERY long list is even harder! Writing companion tax included.

I'm in the subs for #hivementor today. I wanna say how amazing what I've read is! If you subbed, be proud of what you've accomplished. You're all super talented! I'll probably post a process-type explanation thing at the end of December, but for now just know: You all did great! Pet tax included.

#HiveMentor I wish I knew that just because I'm getting a lot of words on paper does not mean that I am in a good mental health space. I've been very vocal about creatives of all sorts -- but writers as it's relevant to this -- making sure you take breaks for your mental health and sanity. (1/3)

Alright, I'm diving into pages today. Likely won't get far, because I have other *life* stuff, but I'm excited by the quality of the submissions so far in general! Good luck all!!! And if you haven't submitted to #HiveMentor yet, #WritingCommunity, or if you're on the fence... NEVER self-reject!

Hi friends! @writehive.bsky.social #HiveMentor submissions box opens TOMORROW at 12:59 EST. If you are a writer w/ a completed manuscript and are looking for a mentorship to help get your book ready to query agents, self publish, or submit to an indie press, THIS IS THE MENTORSHIP FOR YOU! 🔥

Happy Friday! 😍 #WriteHive submissions are OPEN. Whether you're looking to publish your next book or find an agent - mentorship can help take your story to the next level. I'm specifically looking for: SFF/Mashups that dive deep into dark worlds. Mentor MSWL's: writehive.org/writehive-me...

#HiveMentor AMA Q5:

Day five of AMAs with @write_hive! If you have questions, ask in the comments! Someone else summarized my answer on the Discord: Burnout is not a badge of honor. But here’s my longer one…

More #HiveMentor AMA for the #WritingCommunity! Feel free to ask questions in the comments! One thing I would add: SFF over 110k might not be the best fit for me. It’s not a hard no, but anything over Will have cuts suggested. Here’s the link for all the yeas and nays! writehive.org/writehive-me...

#Hivementor Q3:

For today's @writehive.bsky.social #HiveMentor question, I have a lot of reservations about my answer already, so please @ me to ask questions this week if you have them. "I think" should be the caveat here, bc I'm always open to being surprised by a manuscript OR a writer's process!!

It’s day three of AMAs with @writehive.bsky.social! Here’s my answer for today’s question! If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask in the comments!!! #HiveMentor

#HiveMentor AMA, Q2: What's your favorite book you've read recently? THE DRAVENHEARST BRIDES by Lindsay Barrett, about an heiress who enters into a marriage of convenience with the scion of an ailing bourbon distillery. It’s like Crimson Peak in bluegrass country! @writehive.bsky.social

We’re doing AMAs all week with #HiveMentor and @writehive.bsky.social! Here’s my answer for question two! If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask in the comments!!!

#HiveMentor AMA Q2: #WritingCommunity #amquerying

Oh my gosh, so many. The most recent was Charlene Thomas’s STREETLIGHT PEOPLE, which has all the character work I loved in her debut with an additional speculative twist! In adult, Hester Steel’s THE FACELESS THING WE ADORE lives rent free in my brain. #HiveMentor

My favorite book tends to be whatever I'm currently reading, and right now that's The Garden by Nick Newman. I'm really enjoying the sibling relationship at its center, their playfulness & warmth amidst such a grim world. #HiveMentor

I’m. @writehive.bsky.social mentor! My time as a mentee was vital in preparing me for the query trenches and beyond, and I’m so excited to have a chance to pay it forward. I can’t wait to see what y’all are working on! 💜 #HiveMentor

Arun "Starling" Tige wants out. No more assassinations. But the key to her lost past is with the man who trained her. To get her memories back, the price is a final job that could cost her more than her past. She may lose her new family and her life. Now, she just needs to kill a king. #DVPit #SF #A

Don’t forget to vote, Minnesotans! Today’s special election will determine who fills the state House seat after Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated in June.

My best friend needs immediate help. Please consider donating, or sharing. #mutualaid

I’m so over the CK stuff. Let’s forget him the way they forgot Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog.

Aaaaaanyhoo here's the archived National Institute of Justice research article about RW extremists being responsible for 84% of politically motivated murders since its disappeared while being "reviewed" in accordance with EO Whateverthefuck ✨️ archive.is/1t1rm

1. Here's the motion for preliminary approval of the settlement in Bartz v Anthropic class action suit. Anthropic will pay $1.5 billion, an "estimated gross recovery of $3,000 per Class Work" & destroy the two datasets of pirated works once litigation ends storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Short fic sff writers, if you haven't been following P.A.'s situation with MRM, it'd be wise to read up. She's done phenomenal work advocating for herself and, by extension, writers in general. Work she shouldn't have had to do to begin with. I personally will no longer submit to MRM's magazines.

Seven Days in June–emotional intimacy X Eleanor Oliphant–sharp introspection. Liz’s carefully curated life shatters after a public breakup. With her sisters, oldest friend, and a new love at her side, she rediscovers hope, identity, and the strength to heal. #PosterPit #Q #C #A
