Destroyed a laptop by accident, fucked up at work, and got two rejections for my book today.

Feels bad, boys.

Waiting for query responses is crazy, my eye has been twitching for a couple days because I’ve got so much adrenaline from the anticipation

#books #authors #writingcommunity #writers #booksky #writing #fiction #author #bluesky #amwriting

This agent only asked for query submissions. She liked my query pitch and requested the first 50 pages and a synopsis of the whole story. If she likes what she reads, she will request the entire manuscript. IF SHE LIKES THAT, and thinks she can sell it, we have succeeded baybeee

Of course! Your last comment had a finality to it that made it sound like you were done done. If not, KEEP GOINNNNGGGG

It’s better to have tried than to finish life having never taken a shot

During my sophomore year in journalism school, I took a feature writing class. On the first day, the professor came in with a box filled with rejection letters he’d received. He told us to expect it; it’s part of the process. Best advice I ever got!

100 percent! N.K. Jemisin said, in her master class, to set rejection milestones and give yourself rewards once you hit them. I love that advice

Or get that graveyard shift a hotel like Sanderson. Don’t give up Blurtis, I just met an attorney who is starting her first book

TAKE THIS FROM A KURTIS, BLURTIS: IT DOESNT MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU FALL OFF THE HORSE, JUST HOW MANY TIMES YOU GET BACK ON IT!

I have two friends who are or are just about to become lawyers and write a little on the side. You can absolutely do both and there’s nothing wrong with it. Be proud

Another successful writing day, though each day is successful if you actually sit down to write. It doesn't matter if it's 0 words that day or 2000 words, the attempt is what counts.

Now my brain is full and I need to rest.

Just received a partial request for my novel.

AHHHHHHH

#books #authors #writingcommunity #writers #booksky #writing #fiction #author #bluesky #amwriting

Got three rejections for my short stories this week. I usually handle it by taking a deep breath, remind myself that it's normal, update my excel spreadsheet and search for the next journal to submit to. Rinse and repeat.

Very wise !

I am also a human writer who enjoys human writing and doing human things like connecting with humans about their human projects

It’s the only way to stay sane haha

Got the 1st rejection of my 1st novel!

Feels a little bad but it’s also a means for celebration. I’m doing everything I can to find that ‘yes’.

How did you handle your first rejection?

#books #authors #writingcommunity #writers #booksky #writing #fiction #author #bluesky #amwriting

Pee pee poo poo lalalalalala

Whatever you have to tell yourself to sleep at night. Keep pushing fingers in your ears and saying “lalalalallala” and taking no accountability for your choices. Slay, queen, work

Or don’t feel entitled to have artwork in every post using a tech that fucks over artists and destroys the environment teehee

Ai :(((((

When can we submit for next year ?? O.o

On my lunch break, trying to keep my shit together while I kill off three characters I've written for years.

At least you were able to turn some bullshit into something beautiful

The most important ones in my experience have been “Not that low, that’s my butthole” and “oh, sorry!”

Another rejection letter BUT this one was too good not to share because it contains valid feedback and the agent read my writing!

Also, a query tip for ya, snail mail querying works too! #writingcommunity #amquerying #seekingliteraryagent #medicalthriller #bookclub

That’s so awesome! I just started querying last week. It’s good to see some agents at least let you know what they think

Oh interesting, that’s much more romantic

Congrats on quitting! And congrats on the milestone once you hit it !

It looks like the book is gonna fall and squish the tiny dog
