Took a little 4 day weekend trip with the family before school starts. Wrote 3500 words on my family saga draft. Feeling energized. #writersky #writingcommunity

Don’t want to jinx myself but having a really productive writing week so far. #writersky #writingcommunity

So anxious about maybe getting a response this week from a full and a partial request. But also secretly hoping I don’t get a response because it will be a pass and then I won’t have that hope that maybe this is the one. 😞 🤞🏻 #amquerying #writesky #writingcommunity

I did it. I’ve received 100 rejections this year! 🙌🏻 A perk to beginning to #amquerying in January. I also had two requests so an offer this year is possible. #writesky #writingcommunity

Now available for preorder. It’s getting real! I might still be #amquerying for fiction but nonfiction is set. 🙌🏻 #writingcommunity

I sent out 2 more queries today and saw I’m very close to having sent out 100 this year. That’s a nice perk for starting in January—a calendar year to collect 100 rejections. 🙌🏻 #amquerying #writesky #writingcommunity

Full request! I had just decided not to send out any more. This was one of the first I sent out a couple months ago. #amquerying #writingcommunity

The problem with having a critique group is that now I keep wanting to go back and edit what I wrote months ago instead of writing forward from where I left off. #writingcommunity
