Sometimes you have to step away from your newly completed manuscript for your own sanity. How long before you dive into editing again with fresh eyes? Hours? Days? Weeks? #WritingCommunity #Amwriting

Cloudy tonight and cold on #VancouverIsland but worth stepping outside to see the #BloodMoon #LunarEclipse

I found a manuscript from last year I never queried! I planned to leave it for a few weeks then go in for a final edit with fresh eyes. The Holidays got in the way, along with a new project and I forgot! How mad is that! #AmQuerying #AmWriting #AmEditing #WritingCommmunity

Historical Tomes Of life and #death Record every moment Of every last breath Stack upon stack Endless shelves An abiding reflection Of ourselves #Vss365 #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #DailyPrompt

Grab a spoon, stir, #life becomes a blur Of this and that, thin and fat, He or she, you and me, When together ALL are WE #vss365 #AmWriting #Amquerying #WriitingCommunity #DailyPrompt

The dragon has a fiery roar Look, he's sleeping on the shore Let's not wake him, no, no, no Let's sneak past him, really slow Fingers to lips, make no #noise, Softly, softly, girls and boys! #Vss365 #AmWriting #Writers #DailyPrompt

At night, when #dreams Muzzle my mind I travel this world For souls to find To shepherd safely Oh wondrous tribe To a place so exalted None can describe Then I wake up easy In my comfortable bed It's a game of sorts When everything's said #Vss365 #AmWriting #WordPrompt #writer

Hello Mr #Nightmare How are you? What's your favorite color? Mine is Blue Do you go to school Or sleep throughout the day Mummy says I talk too much Please don't turn away I'm sure we can be friends Let's have a hug Please don't run away from me You lovely, scary bug #Vss365

Pain arrives in many guises Its threshold varies and surprises In the #beginning, some are struck dumb After a while, some become numb Others shout out, day upon day Please, God, make this go away! #Vss365 #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WordPrompt

Here's the riddle I'm helpless at heart Stuck in the middle When did this start? Can't reach the corner Following the trend Paralyzed by #pressure How will this #end? #Vss365 #WordPrompt #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Frustrating: Living in Canada, I'd love to query a Canadian agent. But just read bios of 22 agents of a well known big agency, almost all were referral only. So tough. #Writerslife #Writers #writerscommunity #YA #Amquerying

Just started querying a 26,000 word Lower MG novel (7-10). First query turned down within an hour (nicely) saying they don't do novellas. Really confused - Google says the word count is fine. Anyone out there write #MG ? #Writingcommunity #Writers #Amquerying #writerslife

Still struggling with using the em dash in Word. I watched videos on it and I'm still hit and miss. Using it as a frequent symbol just takes too much time. Anyone use these in their MG's? I think I'll give up on it :( #writers #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity #writerslife
