Have a meeting with your editor, think you take good notes, and then go back a day later and realize you can’t read half of what you scribbled down. 🤦‍♀️ I’m a mess of a person. #WritingCommunity #amediting

I've written over 11,000 words for #NaNoWriMo21 in my new series. Do I like it so far? Yes. Will I like it after reading it 30,000 times as I edit it? Probably not. I swear at some point after so many rewrites I start to think all I've written is trash. #WritingCommunity

Day four and 30,000 words into this thing. Guess I’m bought in now. #nanowrimo2021 #writerscommunity #amwritingfantasy

Got my first one star review. It wasn’t completely wrong, maybe a little harsh. It was the first book I ever wrote, and I still like it. Moving on #WritingCommunity #bookreviews #imightnotbegoodatthis

I need to edit my book I just got two beta reads back on. I do not need to chase this new idea I have. #WritingCommunity #amediting #amwritingfantasy

This is about an hour from where I live snd it’s awful. People are trapped and at least two fatalities. Several severe storms and tornado warnings are still in the area.

Am I querying? Yes. Do I get used to the rejection? I wish I could say yes. Do I think I will be successful? See previous answer. #WritingCommunity #amquerying #yafantasy

I don’t know what I’m doing differently this month or what’s going on, but somehow I’ve sold 76 books and have good kindle unlimited numbers (for me). It’s great but no idea how to keep it going. #WritingCommunity #indiepublishing #c

Reached 500,000 pages of my books read on #KindleUnlimited since I first published late in 2020. I know many do that in a month, but it still feels like an accomplishment. Especially since I had no idea what I was sound at first. (Still don’t) #WritingCommunity #BookTwitter

This was not my trip. Thing just fell on me. Also not sure those resort studio rooms were quite ready to open at the grand Floridian.

I’m at the part in the editing process of my #wip where I absolutely hate it. It might have to do with having read it 20,000 times. #WritingCommunity #amwritingya #amwritingfantasy #amwriting

Sick on my birthday, realizing I have some kind of work function almost every weekend for the next two months, and someone was so offended by how bad one of my books was, they messaged me to let me know. Maybe a sign to give up? Oh well, at least is left over cake

Last year I paid an editorial service for a novel assessment. Never heard back after initial contract was signed. Then they closed their business. I should be mad to lose $650 but all my broken mind could think is my manuscript was so bad it made them quit. 😂
