Always a good opportunity:

Those lines HIT 🔥

I can’t wait for this one to be on my shelf one day.

I just *know* it’s gonna be big. Just look at this guide

Let’s gooooo

Yay! May it treat you better 🍀🧡

That is a great goal. Love it

It’s October! Already.

Will you be working on anything?

I’ll need to finish a read-through of what I worked on in September (👀), then maybe dive into more writing, all while querying.

Always keep swimming! But don’t forget to come up for air if you need to.

#FallofWords update: September is in the books!

Did you write? Edit? Read?

Will you be doing any of those in October?

I got words in. Way more than I thought I ever would again. So I’m calling this a win.

Thanks for bearing with me as I put myself out there on socials. 🧡

What kind of writer are you?

Side note: I grew this little citrus tree from seed. A labor of love and dedication and perseverance, just like writing. (Actually a scary accurate comparison. lol. It takes years for trees to bear fruits …)

This is so cute!

Does this ever happen to you? Especially in edits, I’ll put in a sentence that I think fits super well, only to then read almost the exact same one a couple paragraphs later.

Whoops?

#FallofWords September is almost over. Gearing up for October!

This is such a great list! Good luck with your Q4 Challenge!

This sounds fun and doable 🥰

White box in bottom left corner: Fall of Words - Day 26 Writing can be scary, especially when we put ourselves out there and bring it in front of fresh eyes. But it’s exciting, too, to get that outside feedback, and editing is writing too! Every word counts. Pic: me Template: Canva

What’s some beta or critique partner feedback you’ve received that really stayed with you?

Some of mine: “Your writing is sparse and dry.”

“The names [all northern Frisian] sound too similar.”

And in a good way: that Narcos waiting meme (iykyk) @christiecurry25.bsky.social

Awww 🥰

Your parents sound just as awesome as you.

We are! 🧡

OMG! I like Cheese sounds like the perfect book for me 👀

And congrats to everyone!

Oooh 👀

Yeah, that’s the tough thing when we do write that sequel before the first is in its final edit, I guess. lol

But I hope the re-planning will be fun! I’m excited for the sequel 🥰

Querying friends! I had a revelation yesterday!

If you look at your QT Dashboard, it will tell you right there that your queries and submissions are “outstanding!”

See? You’re doing fantastic!

Revising counts too! Revising is HARD! Hope it’s going okay

How are your words doing? Putting up a fight? Or flowing out of you?

It’s a mixed bag over here.

#FallofWords September is slowly coming to an end.

Still so many words to write.

I hope you’re also writing or gearing up for you own writing event. No matter what you’ll be doing (and taking a break from writing to rest your brain counts too), I’m rooting for you.

High five!

Ahaha, thank you, Rajani 🥰

Oooh, congrats! This sounds super fun!

Stellar title option, too!

Sometimes it’s hard to keep going and remember to have fun when all you get is rejections.

If you’re struggling, writing friends: I see you! I’ve been there.

But writing IS fun when we do it for our audience of one (aka ourselves.)

What was the last thing you enjoyed writing?
