Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.'
-Emily Brontë

A b/w photo portrait of Elinor Glyn Source: IMDB

It is the birthday in 1864 of English author and screenwriter Elinor Glyn. Her romantic fiction was considered scandalous in its day, but her work helped create the “it girl” – a young woman with so much beauty and charm she effortlessly overwhelms the men least susceptible to them.

After #P2Ppit on twitter vs blue sky, I noticed: What platform agents and editors participated more, where writers were more engaged, which platform us contributors had more ease regulating, etc

Will anyone be interested in a post on the pitch event stats? 👀

When I first started writing for publication in earnest, I really felt it, you know?

How many writers in the #WritingCommunity lose the feeling of "it" due to rejections?

Plenty! Writers let's pull it together! Let's work hard! Exercise our superpower!

Let's be literary Jedi!
