big week for the glasses community

The first five days after the weekend are the hardest…

Rereading your first draft

Writer: *Sits down to write* Brain: What are words? Writer: *Goes to bed* Brain: Here is a comprehensive outline of the next five sequels of your book

Hello! I wanted to provide a bit of clarity on some of my rejections currently, a bit of insight into my brain. For starters, at this current moment there a few reasons for some of my rejections, the main one is word count. Typically, for myself, if anything is over 100K, I'm 1/?

Writing is emotional whiplash. “This is brilliant.” “This is trash.” “I think I’m a genius.” “Why am I like this.” If you’re feeling all four in one hour, you’re not broken. You’re a writer. #AmWriting

I've been absent here for a LONG time, and many folks have migrated, and I’m entirely invisible because, absence, and algorithm, but I’ve loved being back here these past couple of weeks. Especially meeting a ton of new writers. Seriously, the #writingcommunity rocks.

I spent 5 years querying 6 books. Nothing could have prepared me for the sheer size of the mountain I was scaling. But now I'm here, on the other side. With whiplash and pinching myself at how quickly things can change in the #amquerying #writingcommunity.

But... I just—ugh; fine.

So we all do this then💀🤣🤣??

I'm also not unhinging, but very excited to see all the chaos! Bring it on!

I'm at that point in my WIP where I'm having to break my characters' hearts and honestly, it's killing me. 🥹#amwriting #WritingCommunity

I know they call this the trenches, but I never expected my own CHARACTERS to reject my queries 😅 #UnhingedPit #YA #F #LGBT #amquerying

PSA, they're going to be okay and all is now right in the world. #amwriting #AmWritingRomance #writingcommunity

Structural and line edits are complete for book 1 of my spicy firefighter romcom series. I've just delivered book 2 to my editor. And I'm a thousand words into drafting book 3. I'm quite simply having the best summer ever. #amwriting #writingcommunity #WritingLife

Oh. My. God. I am unreasonably excited about this.

People are always asking me how I write so fast. Honestly, I have no idea. I just know I love it and that I'm always happiest when entirely lost in the heads of my silly characters. #amwriting #writingcommunity
