Is it weird I think the freezer is pretty and now I want one? 😂

Day 1 (for me):

Glad to see so many #writingcommunity making it here to Bluesky!

Sent my MS off to a few beta readers for feedback. I was terrified. But their notes are starting to come back, and ohmygosh, I needed this. Feels so good to be doing this again.

Yay, do it!!

Writer friends, who is participating in NaNoWriMo this year?

Yes, same to you! The planning is way worse than the writing.

Thank you!!

Good morning! I'm hoping to get some revisions in on my YA contemp. Also plotting (in my head) a book I may try for NaNo.

I feel the same way, but I also am having a harder time finding YA writers here. Maybe not as many have moved here yet?

Happy Friday, friends. Who is writing today?

Happy Tuesday author friends. My goal today is to send out another query or two and work on the plot for my next book. How can I cheer you on today?

Love your positive attitude.

SO cool!!

My 10 yo this morning 5 minutes after he'd been woken for school. I was *this close* to calling him out of school and me out of work to snuggle all day.

Ummm...she is absolutely one I'll query. Thank you for the rec!

- Housekeeper for a below mediocre hotel chain (legit first job!)
- Waffle House waitress
- Dry Cleaners staffer (I took the clothes in and pinned them all, is there really a job title for this?)
- Senior Publicist for a small publishing house

Definitely an Oxford Comma fan!

Love seeing you achieve your dreams, Sarah. I'm still a fan girl all these years later!

Thank you, Sarah!

Tiptoeing back into the querying world. It was terrifying the first time I did it, but it somehow feels soooo much scarier now that I've been in an author-agent relationship before. Do second chance happy endings happen for us "older" writers?

Love this challenge. Thank you for sharing. I'm going to use this to keep me motivated while revising and to continue researching agents to query for my wip.

Coffee, but I do enjoy tea quite a bit in the cooler months.

Go go go! 4200 words is amazing!

Finally made it over. Hoping to connect with the writing/author community. Currently revising my most recent YA.

Super helpful. Thank you.
