Trying to edit the midpoint of my manuscript today, but I'm still sleepy from acupuncture and the wind is so loud I can't hear myself think ๐ญ

Just needed to share that I edited 6,000 words today for my second draft and I'm feeling really proud of myself. I'm more than halfway done with Draft 2, and I'm (hopefully) done with all the chapters that need full rewrites!
Glad I pushed through the sucky days!

That could easily be it. A lot of agents I've researched don't even bother responding to queries that are above the recommended word count for the genre. At the very least, it's worth looking into the suggested word count and paring down where you can! Congrats on the full request, btw!

I still haven't decided whether I want the paperback or the hardback, though, and I have so little time to decide ๐ญ

I've noticed a lot of agents opening up for queries in February, and with MSWL Day coming up next week, I'd say it's as good a time as any!
In the editing slog for the first time right now, and every edit just creates more necessary edits. I'm convinced I will never finish ๐

๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ ...Okay.
Had a minor work burnout over the weekend and now all I want to do is edit silly videos.
Someone please make me get off my phone and start editing this next chapter ๐

I've found that, since Bluesky doesn't seem to have an algorithm, I really have to search out the content I want to see. Which is both nice and not so nice ๐
PS I post bookish/writing content sometimes, but it might not be what you're looking for ๐
I feel that, but mostly because I don't have my heater on, so my fingers are cold and don't want to listen to me when I try to move them ๐

Just a reminder that you should read books by black authors year around โจ๏ธ
Here are some favorites to get you started.
THANK YOU!!!
Did you just tell me my favorite classic novel of all time is one of your comps?! Instant follow.
Yay cozy fantasy! You're so smart not to worry about word count! My first draft didn't even hit 70,000 words, but it was exactly what it needed to be. Now that I'm editing, I'm making so many changes that that original word count didn't matter at all!
