There should be support groups for the partners of writers. That is all.

friends: my mom got me this gorgeous Jane Austen trivia game for my bday (yes, it’s my birthday!), but none of my real-life friends are Austenites! Will you play with me? First clue here, about Austen’s feelings regarding a fellow writer.

Hi Carly! I recently received feedback from a podcast that featured my query and first pages, and subsequently made major changes to my opening pages. Do you think it would be appropriate to send new versions of the manuscript to two agents who have requested the full manuscript?

I didn’t run my first mile until I was 30. Now I’ve completed distances from 50k to 100-miles. No, I don’t stop to rest. Yes, I poop in the woods. Yes, there are bears. I’m also a novelist, and had the unhinged idea to write an ultrarunning romance. CATCH THE GIRL, querying now.

If 1992’s Cutting Edge had a love child with 1979’s Meatballs, with Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours as the score, the resulting
#unhingedpit
fever dream would be CATCH THE GIRL, the story of two people who accidentally fall in love while training to run 100 miles.

To all the Yeti volunteers. They bagged my socks and taped them closed under my shoes. Their quick medical attention saved my frostbit fingers after the race. A stranger took care of me as I laid on the bathroom floor, incapacitated and hypothermic. Ultras aren’t just miles, they’re community.

30 miles at the TARCTIC Frozen Yeti. During a snowstorm. Temps dropped to -10 after dark. Hard-won, but I’m proud of my effort! ❤️

“This is a highly subjective industry, and although your book isn’t the best fit for me, another agent may feel differently.” Also, “A pass from one at our agency is a pass from all.” Ummmm…ok? 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️

The thought of making a mood board for a pitch event makes me moody. In a bad way.

PSA for writers: if a publisher dangles a contract offer but first wants to know how many of your own books you plan to buy...your answer will 100% determine whether you actually get the contract. Along w/ things like not paying royalties till production costs recouped, this is stealth vanity pub

What if today we staged a full rebellion? No errands, no emails, no chores. Just us, books, and the totally unhinged idea that we can glue our shattered hearts back together with nothing but words and audacity.

You know what’s my favorite? Finding the perfect agent with a
#mswl
that matches my book perfectly, only to discover they’re closed to submissions. That’s my favorite. For sure.

I understand
#litagents
are often overwhelmed by pitches. However, I wish they’d limit how many weeks/months a year they’re open to queries instead of only accepting pitches at conferences/events. This equates to making writers pay to pitch. Am I the only person who’s not ok with this?
