I did it. While every single word last month will most likely change in the edits, it's brought me one step closer to the final draft. Did you do #WRITETOBERSUNFEST? If so, let me know all your wins or your whinges. For more like this follow me on Insta:

I’m just saying, if a lit agent or editor wanted to offer me in the next 30 days, they could save me an entire $25 and that’s like, 2 bottles of wine. #WritingCommunity

Of my last 15 followers, only 1 is definitely not a bot or trying to sell me something. #WritingCommunity holler at me please. Tell me about your WIPs, share your moodboards, do all the things that I want from this platform 😭.

Need WIP help so thought I’d ask the #WritingCommunity.My antagonist has the power to talk into characters heads and make them believe stuff that isn’t true. The book is first person. Which person would you write the antag as they speak into characters heads?.

#SaturdaySnippet from my #SoullessWip. "The creature that slipped out of the mists looked human enough. It had a head, a torso, two arms and legs. But it walked like a ripple over water, barefoot and silent on the moss under its foot.". #WritingCommunity.

So I’ve had a little bit of heat on this (some people deleted posts already), but it was never meant to slander any lit agents or dox people. I was genuinely curious to see if there was something wrong with my QT….I get agents are busy and I’m not upset. I was just confused.

Anyone know why I got a ghost rejection from an agent on QT? I didn’t get an email to say it was rejected, I had to manually look at the status. I also didn’t get a reply from the agent (form or otherwise). My last QT message was their recognition of my query. #WritingCommunity.

When a publisher asks me for a marketing plan, and my only response is “I’m good at Canva as long as I have a template.”.#WritingCommunity

How is #SoullessWIP going, you ask?. My brain is tired, my standards are high, and I’m comparing a rough draft to a perfect fantasy of what I want it to be. Can anyone relate? If so, send help #WritingCommunity

Well below my weekly goal last week *HOWEVER*, I did submit a short story to @flametreepress so I'm going to cut myself some slack. But I've got A LOT of work to do to meet the monthly goal now. Please give me some encouragement gifs!.#WritingCommunity #WRITETOBERSUNFEST
