Omg I love everything about this!

I think this would also my sequence of emotions! I have my fingers crossed this happens for you sooner than later! 🤞

Such good advice to take that breath and appreciate the moment! Manifesting this for you!!

There is a site obviously created by AI that is pretending to be a continuation of Pitch Wars. It is not, has nothing to do with anyone involved in #pitchwars, and looks quite scammy. Please beware & tell your friends.

Literary Auction for Change Silent auction 'Literary Auction for Change' hosted online at 32auctions.

The Literary Auction for Change is ✨LIVE✨

There are so many causes that need our time and attention right now, but this is a big one for me. LAOC is an all-volunteer DEI nonprofit committed to improving access and industry conditions for marginalized lit agents.

Oooh loving these vibes!!

That’s a good idea too! It’d be nice to get the feedback, but maybe get it filtered and from a friend would be nice!

There are so many ups and downs in querying! I’m considering making a separate email for queries, that might be the way to go!

Thank you!!

Good advice! I once read about an author designating a friend to read through reviews and just send the snippets that say lovely things so they don’t have to sift through the not-as-lovely things, and always thought that was a great idea!

Thanks so much, Zilla!! 💕

So true! I finally got around to reading On Writing by him and one of my favorite parts was where he describes the call about selling Carrie!

Thanks so much!! Definitely still writing, still going!

Thank you!! 🫶 I’m staying positive!

I got 3 rejections yesterday (the timing happened to work out that way), but I’m reminding myself that rejections are just proof that I’m putting my writing out there and I’m trying!

So exciting!! Congrats to all the winners and editors who worked so hard on these manuscripts! I can’t wait to read through them!

Awesome! I’ll follow you!

Whew these last few weeks have been busy! I’ve carved out little chunks of time to write, but when I sit down, none of my WIPs seem appealing and I can’t get excited about them, even though I want to write.

Anyone have any advice how to get out of a writing slump like this?

#writingcommunity

Aww I’m so glad!! It was really fun being a counselor and reading through the replies to the daily prompts! I’m so happy you enjoyed camp!

Omg I know! I’m going to miss it! But it’ll be so fun to keep up with everyone and their writing journeys!!

Wow!! 15k is amazing!! And you’re so welcome! I’m so glad it was a great experience!
