So beta readers be beta-ing… I may or may not have written the plot for a stand-alone novel apart from my trilogy. Whoops 😅

REPOST WITH THE BOOK YOUR CURRENTLY OBSESSED WITH:

I devoured One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig… or did it devour me?

Dear fellow first time authors. This is what it feels like to send out your baby to people who are about to give you feedback.

Beta readers have been sent copies. AHHHH why do I feel so vulnerable!?!? #author #amediting

Today I’m thankful for @bsky.app because every second post isn’t a freaking ad.

Had a publisher call ME today

I am so thankful to @bluepit.bsky.social for hooking me up, but make sure you have some questions ready. In this case, some places are just not the right fit.

Been back at work so my #amediting time has taken a big hit. Sorry to everyone who signed up to be a beta reader. I couldn’t help myself but go through one final walk through before sending it out. Y’all are just gunna have to wait. Sorry not sorry

Mood

The picture says “me climbing out of a trash can: yes I am available to give advice” and the image is a raccoon wearing a tiara.

Me when someone needs help

Same thing as teaching right?

I snort/laughed. (Canadian living abroad to avoid the cold)

Congrats!

Me thinking about unaliving my reader’s favourite character…

Haven’t tried that yet, great idea.

Ok so I was given these two pieces of advice and I found them so helpful for editing.

1. Change the font. You’ll notice more when you change up what you’re used to. 🔎
2. Print it out! Read it aloud and you’ll notice glaring things you missed in writing. ✍️

Coffee enema

My guilty pleasure is making playlists of the kind of music my characters would enjoy if they had access to music streaming services. 🎶

Authors post something related to your last publication or WIP without context 🔥

Flawless 💕

I used to work in a tea shop, love a good oolong, but coffee is the nectar of the gods.

Great I’ll go give them a follow as well! Thanks for bringing some fun. Needed it today.

Ya no kidding

Not a meme per se… but literally my MC trying to sort her shit out.

I’m living for these questions. They are so much fun.

Cozy fixer-upper in the heart of the city! Features include plenty of ‘natural light’ (thanks to a recently removed wall), open floor plan (literally open), and a charming ‘scorched-earth chic’ aesthetic. Perfect for those who love a project and don’t mind the faint smell of burned flesh!

Classically trained healer seeking someone who won’t run when I accidentally set things on fire (long story). Loves music, collecting shiny objects, sunsets over the dunes, and long walks through treacherous caves filled with monsters.

Not me doing a final read through as I’m sending beta readers my work. 😫 #amwriting #amediting #betareaders

Bless him for having to put up with me.
