The people on the sidewalk wore the heat on their faces. Suits emerging from air conditioned quarters considered how far they could make it before they were goo on the sidewalk. People crab walked in patches of shade to avoid the double broiler of the sun and the baked cement.

Wedding gifts are a given.
But when a bottle of Pappy 23 enters the scene, the stakes are elevated.
Signed by all the groomsmen - a $6k bottle just became a priceless memory.

Anyone else in the #WritingCommunity lose hours of their live trying to setup or post on #Substack that they will never get back?

One of my favourite things authors do is leave what they mean unsaid.

So it turns out I've had a typo in the name of a character in the synopsis I've been sending to agents while querying The Hand You're Dealt 🙃 It has been MONTHS. No wonder I've been getting rejections, I'd reject myself.

Hi #writingcommunity!
Only a few days left to enter the WDW's "First Page Contest" for Romance and Women's fiction (due April 20th). 😜💻
Fingers crossed... and good luck! 🍀

From my Epic Fantasy novel Demon’s Bargain. A mixed faith relationship. Despard grew up with many gods to choose from, but Kahyla's culture is xenophobic. Kahyla asked Despard to stand as her Paer, or spiritual father, at her Dancing Day.

It’s implied that the characters are reading because it’s a text exchange.

There is a lot of the word heat in my novel because they are in summer but this paragraph is one of my favorites.

What if Fleabag had a probation officer, poor impulse control, and 100 hours of court-mandated community service at an animal shelter with a grumpy, sexy vet tech inside?
Inquiring minds wanted to know so now they're proud to be querying #kennelduty

Good night. Every writer knows the strange comfort of unfinished work. It means the story still has somewhere to go. 🌌

Aaaand on today’s round up of #amquerying, a new full request, as well as a new partial request now mean that after a month of querying we are at a comfortable 3 fulls and 3 partials!
To say that I feel dropping my 1st manuscript to query RESONANCE was the right choice, is an UNDERSTATEMENT!
Welcome @razzzkazzz.bsky.social who is doing a beta read for me, with specific requests. They are doing AMAZING. I plan to be using THEIR draft with notes as the bones for my next one. This project isn't even DONE yet & the notes and communication are stellar! #writingcommunity #writesky #amquerying
I changed my location and my brain rebooted. It turns out inspiration has better Wi-Fi by the water. #debutauthor #WIP #amquerying #ofhollowedblood #writingcommunity
I intend to jump into the query trenches for the first time in the next few hours with THE HOUSE THAT BUILT US. Wish me luck!

Many #picturebook writers don't understand the difference between a pitch & a synopsis when asked to provide them in a query letter. Emma is here to set the record straight.

“Look Joe, I understand you’re upset, but -”
“I’m way past upset.”
A.J. paused again. “About the children?” There was a note of incredulity in their voice.
“Yes, about the fucking children. You can’t do that kind of shit.”

Questions to Ask Agents About Working Together Long-Term. Is this just one book—or a partnership: What do you think about my next idea? #amquerying #writerslife
One of the hardest things about #querying is going months without replies, and then getting 13 form rejections in 2 weeks, sometimes within hours of each other--and on a query package with major revisions that you're really proud of. 😔
