What do you think #writingcommunity? The #YouDeservepIt events used to be fall & spring but so many events have popped up which is becoming an over saturation issue for the entire industry (authors, editors, agents). To help with this, I’m thinking about shifting to 1x/year.

Hi everyone! Pitch events have become SO over saturated lately, so I’m considering having #YouDeservepIt 1x/yr now. But before I decide in knowing how much this event means for some of you, I want to hear from you! What do you think? #writingcommunity #agents #editors

Writing is grounding. Writing is connecting to ourselves. Writing is healing. #writingcommunity #kidlit

Writing is not a way of escaping reality. It’s a way of engaging with it more completely. Ursula K Le Guin

Episode 9 of the @ymwjpodcast.bsky.social,

✨IT’S NOT A MYTH—WE CAN FIND WAYS TO ENJOY QUERYING AND BEING ON SUBMISSION✨

is live with the amazing @rowanbrightonbrown.bsky.social We hope it empowers you in your journey! 🫶 #writingcommunity

What if instead of surviving querying and being on submission, we as a community were able to find ways to live/thrive amidst the dreams we are working so hard for?

A reminder to the wonderful #writingcommunity that you don’t have to be crushing word count goals or writing goals to be moving towards your dreams. Sometimes rest is what you need for your next step 🫶💜 #YouDeservepIt

Danielle Render Turmaud, PhD @drenderturmaud.bsky.social · Feb 25

Sometimes we think we have writers block when our body is just telling us that it needs rest. Taking breaks from writing/what we need a break from can be more productive than forcing our way through. 💜

(& yes, I do hope to do a @ymwjpodcast.bsky.social episode on this 😉) #writingcommunity #kidlit
