Got a partial request from a big agent—from the first four queries I’ve sent so far! It means so much to me, feeling really motivated🥹.

Wish me luck, everyone! 😌

I put ‘Write Chapter 3’ on my to-do list today. Then I wrote a new to-do list and forgot to add it. Mission accomplished.😅

I set out to write a dystopian sci-fi novel, but then I realized the present was dystopian enough. Back to the drawing board! 😅😅😅

I invented a faster-than-light spaceship for my novel. Explaining it scientifically? Nah, I’m going with ‘space magic.’

The best part of being an author?

Creating villains based on people who annoy you. Sweet, sweet revenge.😌

The best thing about writing a first draft is that nobody will ever read it. 😊😊

When I said my draft needed work, I didn’t mean it needed an exorcism.

#amquerying what are some of the places to get your query letter critiqued?

One good one I know is PubTips community on reddit.

Writing is just staring at a blinking cursor until you cry, and then somehow it becomes a book.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.😅

This is my first time entering #questpit . I have a few questions and would appreciate any help:

1.Do we need to post a pitch and mood board to participate? Is there anything else required?
2.What happens once it’s done?

Editing your own manuscript is like getting into an argument with your past self. ‘Why did you think this sentence was a good idea?!’

Nothing beats the thrill of finishing a chapter… except the crushing realization you still have 20 more to go.

Writing is 10% inspiration, 90% wondering why you thought this was a good idea in the first place. 😅

In starting, I wanted to write a short story, but my characters decided they needed 100,000 words minimum and a trilogy 😅.

How about you?

Stories with happy endings are so overrated.
Authors prefer a good twist that leaves everyone just a little scarred.

I think I have a crush on my main character. Is this normal, or do I need an intervention? 😂

I’m in the mood for reading some heartfelt short stories. Could anyone recommend a few that I can spend some time with?

World building for sci-fi is just creating an entire universe, no big deal😎🪭.
Then you realise you still dont know what your protagonist’s favourite food is.

I love science fiction. It asks, ‘What if this were true?’ and makes the unknown so much more fascinating.

If you share the same passion, let’s connect!

Writing sci-fi novel is like terraforming, where planet is my manuscript and I am constantly second guessing if I am making it habitable 😅.
