Love this story so much!

My beloved FEG has a new rival. In love with Melbourne Grey (and wishing I bought more of it at this price!)

One of the "rules" of querying folks often see as arbitrary is the banning of rhetorical questions. After editing hundreds of queries, I can tell you it's there for a reason and that reason is stakes. Here's how it works-- (1/5)

Not-yet-published writer! What drives you through the day to day grind of writing without the garentee of being published? For me, it's a combination of the satisfaction I gain from completing even the writing tasks I don't enjoy, stubborness, & bite-sized, self-set goals. What about You?

Sometimes in writing it's the moments you never expected that turn out to be the most significant. My daughter is listening aloud to my manuscript and her genuine excitement at my story is making my heart soar. 😭

So I've written a 'sliding doors' YA Fantasy novel-- but I'm not sure if that concept is universal enough to use in a query. Do you know what it means?

Laughing at the fact that one of my most 'recent' posts was about how helpful listening to your manuscript aloud is. That was from when I was preparing my draft for its first round of betas. And now I'm listening again to prepare for the query trenches. It's been a while! 🤣

That Home Depot/milkshake analogy is going to live absolutely rent-free in my head forever.

Listening to my manuscript aloud is such a lifesaver during revisions! I can read a page fifteen times and not see that missing s or breathe instead of breath. But microsoft robot voice will make it obvious everytime!

You know what is not fun? Going though your manuscript and fixing all the capitalisation you got wrong. Do you know what is necessary? Going through your manuscript and fixing all the capitalisations you got wrong. #editing

Going to be spending #Nano planning and plotting a more epic style fantasy than I'm used to. So I'm after all the World Building tips! What have you found helpful in filling out a complicated fantasy world?

I have just sorted my washing into delicates instead of just running the mixed cycle. Please clap!

Weird how stressed I get on my odd jobs day. To do list of six items! Where do I start? The fate of the world depends on whether I fill out this form or do this house chore!

I'm having a little too much fun looking into different terms and when they came into usage for my current MS! This one in particular was shockingly late.

Second draft complete ✅ This WIP was a big step up and I'm so thrilled how it's come together 🥰

Been writing in an empty hotel room for too long. Found myself mumbling my words aloud as I write in a cafe. 😬

One of my favourite things about being an early morning person is that you can have gotten heaps of things done and also had some fun and then you check the time and it's still only 10:30am 🤣

Okay. I think all the world building/magic/science if my world is in place to bring this book together. Why do I make such complicated stories? (Because I love them)

Getting a few new follows so I thought I should introduce myself properly. Im not a geek, I'm a bit of a dork and am a full blown card carrying nerd. What about you?

My tea is hot, my oodie is warm, the birds are singing, the kids are sleeping-in and it's spring. And now I get to beta a RomCom! Happy day!

Why do some Trad Pubbed E-books cost so much more than others. Genuinely curious! Have a book that is top of my TBR (as a potential comp and right up my alley too), but it's not coming to my library until November and the ebook costs more than a paper back 😱

Amazing how much writing I get done while my American friends are asleep and my European friends are not yet awake 🤣

You know how people who write time travel stories always say-- don't do it, it's too hard! I feel like alternate reality stories are the oposite. Everyone should write stories featuring other world doppelgangers! It's so much fun 🤣 #WritingCommunity #WIP (also, do hashtags work here?)

In theory, both my POV characters are exceptionally bright, so I assume other languages would come easily to them. Makes me think I should sneak that fact into the story more! #LateNightWrite

My WIP book is set in an Edwardian England inspired secondary world. So Ive been trying to balance accessibility, a little old world formality, and occasional fun words or expressions I've learnt from the time. #LateNightWrite

My querying book has three made up Latinish languages. Once I relaxed into the process it was really fun! #LateNightWrite

Yesterday my daughter went to a fairy party and we all got to walk through a wardrobe that was a 'portal' to fairyland. I'm not ashamed to admit it was rather magical 🥰

My creative well gets filled not only by feeding it with creative inspiration, but also intellectual. A craft podcast or hearing how a master creates their work (be it books or something else) inspires me as much as a gorgeous sunset or beautiful music. What unexpected things inspire you?

Turns out taking a break from writing and a holiday from normal life does refill the creative well and leaves you inspired to write! Who would have thought! 😉

#DVpit is coming and I’m stoked to be participating as an agent 🥰🥰🥰

Was sad to not manage to reach the midpoint of my edits before leaving on holidays, but now that I'm back and get to dive into all the incoming shenanigans-- I'm not sorry at all!

I would love to write a trilogy long slow burn romance!

The sky is blue and I don't know what to do. People who have been here a while, give me the lay of the land?
