That balance is key!!!

During our after party chat w/ @manuscriptacademy.bsky.social our group was talking about unlikeable MC’s

I’m always rooting for the villain… what do you think?

😈 or 😇 or somewhere inbetween??

Fantastic book!!!

Amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

Interesting! Thx for sharing

Well I guess I have research to do this weekend now!

Ugh it’s such a rollercoaster. But fulls mean you’re doing something right!! Hang in there 💙

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #16140:
Don't assume that your desk is where all your writing happens. 90% of the process of creation happens elsewhere. Use whatever time you have. Thinking time; dreaming time; observing time; analyzing time. All this time can be part of your work. Don't waste it.

If you are #querying do you stick with submitting to agents only or do you query direct to publishers?

I never realized you could query publishers 🤯

Pros & Cons… go!

Oooh I’ll check that one out!

I just finished Beautiful Ugly. Didn’t love the ending but the suspense was great. I’m halfway through Kill for Me Kill for You and it’s good!

What have been your recent winners?

Is this the third book in a series? Wayward Pines? I keep hearing about it… is this my sign?

It’s on my tbr!

Evening reading in one of my fave places

There’s certainly specific tastes out there.

I *almost* picked this one up yesterday. There’s always tomorrow 😉

I really enjoyed this one! Mary Kubica never lets me down 📚💙

Perfect image 😂😂😂

Rejection is hard.
The 1st wasn’t too bad. Or the 2nd or 3rd. Now on the 16th & I can tell you it’s getting harder.
Is 16 a lot? Nope.
Does it feel like the mountain is getting too steep? A bit, yeah.
But I move forward b/c I believe it my story. Keep going, friends

Everyone knows what they want when it comes to their DREAM AGENT, right?!

What do YOU look for when picking who to query?

I want someone who is open to ideas & collaborating, believes in honest feedback, and has as much excitement about my story as I do.

A poke AND nudge… I’m on it 😉💙

Being patient is harder than writing the novel 😩

Inspiration is everywhere!!

Awe love that 💙

Perfect!

Well you are due then!!

If you try it, please post your review. Very curious!

- You get a partial request (wooo!)
- They say if they want more they’ll let you know …

Do you still nudge after a few weeks?? 🤔
