Grey’s Anatomy X The Vampire Diaries
With the coven’s greatest rule broken and their matriarch out for blood, Emily knows she must tell Charlotte who—or rather what—she is. She knows she might lose Charlotte when her confession turns her world into something out

Stats for the day:
Two rejections, one kind step aside, and one full request. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten so many query responses in one day before.
The rejections suck. The step aside stung. The full is nice!

My goal/dream is actually to hopefully find a “baby agent” who wishes to give my manuscript a home. I quite like the idea of growing and reaching success together. I also feel as though a “baby agent” may have more time to devote to their clients.

I love my story, and my characters. And I’ve received encouraging feedback from betas and fellow writers. But querying is really tearing me down. I could once say I believed in my story and felt that I just had to find the right home for it. But things have since become blurred

I never know how to respond when asked if I’m a plotter or a panster. The MS I’m querying was the result of a dream I had. I never sat down and plotted things out, yet I knew exactly what was going to happen in the story. I didn’t plot… or pants. I took an extra sleeping pill

A queer romantasy.
For over a century, Emily Hemlock's existence has meant little more than satisfying bloodlust. But when her coven meets Charlotte and realizes her heart is failing, they break the one rule set by their matriarch: never interfere with human life.

The “good enough” is my favorite.😂
If I were to receive that as a review on my (hopefully) book, I’d be stoked.
My 11 year old is working on an amazing fantasy novel and created her own blurbs. If Tolkien is calling your work, “wonderous,” you’re in a good spot. ✨✨✨

I only use “said” when necessary. I prefer action lines to be used in conjunction with dialogue. This shows the reader who is speaking, can help with characterization, and will often read more fluidly than using “said” which can be halting.
100% disagree! "said" is NOT invisible just because a bunch of people decided it is!
Many people I spoke to say it's jarring. & it's overuse of it definitely annoying in an audiobook since the narrator already does the different voices to show who's talking!
