Querying isnโ€™t about asking for approval. Itโ€™s about searching for the person who sees your story and says, I believe in this too. โœจ #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

Oof. Form rejections from the maybe pile sting! Likeโ€ฆ Iโ€™m left with so many questions. Why did I make it through the first round of rejections? Why didnโ€™t you request? ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ #amquerying

Me: Iโ€™m just gonna check my Query Tracker. Miss 3: Why? (Fav word ATM) ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ exactly, kid! #amquerying

Ok ok ok - Miss three just approached me at my laptop and said, โ€œMum is that your fairy tracker?โ€ And OMG, I want that. Day made ๐Ÿงš

This is my fifth year in the query trenches. Iโ€™ve queried 3 novels in that time. Iโ€™ve had requests, Iโ€™ve had hundreds of rejections, Iโ€™ve had agents who gave me feedback which kept me going. Mostly, Iโ€™ve had a community around me. I havenโ€™t given up. I wonโ€™t give up. #amquerying

Ugh! Iโ€™ve had an AMAZING drafting day. This third act is exploding out, and Iโ€™m holding on for dear life! #writingcommunity

It is done. THE END 95k - the final book in the trilogy that has consumed my heart for the past two years. ๐Ÿฅน #WritingCommunity
