I'm editing based on feedback from a fabulous beta reader. He gave me chapter-by-chapter feedback, so thankfully, very organized and helpful.

Are you a fellow writer or reader?

The editing cycle never ends! The torture continues! 😁

...anyways, once I'm done, if ever, then I will query.

I swear.

This time, I'm serious...

Sure!

My genre is adult fantasy. What’s your rate? The chimneys falling practically obliterated my budget but still want to know just in case.

If it doesn’t fit in a bag, you’re just getting it as is. 😊

So I spoke to random readers at a bookstore and, while speaking, mentioned my psychological thriller, not the fantasy (cause 🙈). They liked it.

Those sick fuks…lol

Whelp, can’t judge. I am the author after all 💁

Was ready to send my manuscript for a second review and maybe even indulge in beta readers but…my chimney collapsed.

Welp, there goes my savings…😭

Got 1 chapter that I really hate editing. It’s the 1 chapter that is such a hurdle to even will myself to potentially consider thinking about maybe even—you get it.

Send help.

Finally started reading Mistborn. It was recommended by a bookstore employee when I described my story. I see some relation but only 100 pages in.

Sounds like a great opportunity to start the new year right! #amqureying #writersky #writingcommunity

My agent list on Query Tracker is longgg and yet I keep adding to it without querying lol

#writersky #querying #writingcommunity

😂 I could be framed, for sure.

I feel that way with movies. I love when I can’t predict them although there’s a joy is watching a movie that falls in place exactly the way predicted as long as its execution aligns.

Interesting. I can imagine being a literary agent is super stressful. How has it affected you as a reader? Books too predictable now? Grammar catches? Are developmental plotholes more noticeable?

That opening is so vital! That's what makes it difficult 😬

¡Me encanta la idea!

😱 Hope it's not too bad! 🤞

Finally brought the words down to a reasonable 105k. ✒️ As much as I want to put this down and sleep for eons, I should go over it again before moving forward with the next steps.🥲

😱 it’s really the “actually read what you’ve written” part.
