Hey, thanks for the call out! If we can’t be in this mess together then what’s the point?

Thanks for the encouragement, and the engagement. I really do appreciate it.

That’s amazing. I actually love that, lol.

The parameters, and backgrounds makes sense. Unfortunately, I can assure you I spent more time researching their MSWL then they spent looking at my query.

I get it, these are just the rules of the game. I’m just wondering why.

I wonder if it’s human at all.

Feels impossible for a human to see and reject a query in that amount of time given the amount of queries they receive in the first place.

I’m 100% on board with the industry’s demand for 'soul & intentionality' to keep AI out of books.

We need that human heart.

But where’s the soul in rejecting that human work in under 10 minutes?

Hey #TeamAmethyst, as #RevPitWaiting draws to a close with winner announcements soon, I just want to say I’m both excited to work on my winning book and sad that I couldn’t pick all of you. I’m so grateful you chose me as one of your editors and trusted me with your words. #RevPit 💜💎

This is so… 😮

I know the end, but I leave myself open to how I’m going to get there.

He's incredible. Have you ever watched any of his recording sessions? It's insane to see him just channel all of these people.

Do you also do the audiobooks?

I am 100% convinced that every observation was about mine, regardless of genre.

There’s nothing better than feeling like, I know this person, after just a few lines. It’s really underrated.

For me, it’s voice, polish, and understanding what is happening. This is of course assuming the book is in a genre that I enjoy 😉

Thanks for the positivity and encouragement Ellie!!

I wrote the first six chapters of book 2, but I did that a while ago. I do have a side project that I’m really loving, and needed only the slightest nudge to go work on anyway, lol.

Thank you so much for this practical tip. That makes so much sense!

Wow, kudos to you. I’ve just finished my first and 6 chapters into a sequel / 2 chapters into a completely new book. Best of luck querying!

Thats awesome! What do you usually write? How many novels have you written?

Did you go with something wildly different than your sub submission?

I could not have said it better myself.

I haven't read your work yet, but I already want a spinoff. I do something similar with my AI, Vega-5. She tries to be helpful, but she has a lot of personalities trapped in there and each of them have their idea of "helpful". The only thing they have in common, sarcasm and humor.

Not the mom part. 😬

That sounds like such a fun core memory.

I feel seen.

Whoa, that’s fantastic! Nice job
