This was the first day I ever saw a physical copy of my book, and the first time I ever signed one. I am caught between contentment and maniac motivation. #writerscommunity #writerscommunity #writerslife
If anyone enjoyed The Little Time Allotted Us, consider upvoting it on reedsy discover. #shamelessselfpromoMonday #scifi #writerscommunity reedsy.com/discovery/book…
The patterns of storytelling are sometimes a little too predictable? The great @tomgauld nails it! #authors #writers #writingcommunity #wrtitingmemes
I've said this before, but after waiting so long, it's crazy to have people read and enjoy my work. Years of angst (almost completely) washed away. I'm not even looking at sales yet, just enjoying the ride. #scifi #debutnovel #writerslife #writerscommunity
My first book came out today! There's so many people I'd like to thank, including the faculty at The King's Academy, @gordoncollege, and @SNHUmfa! I can't wait to write a few more! #WritingCommunity #writersoftwitter #writerslife #booklaunch #scifi amazon.com/dp/B0CVFS82QQ
I just found my first #betareader for the first book in my fantasy series. This is my favorite project of all time, I can't wait to start polishing it up! #amwriting #WritingCommmunity #fantasy
Here are some suggested edits based on what I see in manuscripts: 1. Check for passive language (search for words like “was”) 2. Info dumping in first pages 3. Echoes 4. Do a pass for showing versus telling

It's crazy to me that I get to put out #novels people will actually read. I thought this just happened to other people? Review of The Little Time Allotted Us, Reviewed by K.C. Finn readersfavorite.com/book-review/th… #scifi #sciencefiction #WritingCommunity #writersoftwitter
Just approved the proof for my debut #scifi #novel! Still feels surreal. #writerslife #WritingCommmunity
I finished a book and short story anthology recently, then got in a slump for a month. Today, I finally wrote out of it. Plus, it ended on a cliff hanger, so there's plenty to write tomorrow. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #scifibooks
Rage of Dragons was so good, when I realized it was first self published, I decided self publishing was a good option after all!

I love this series, can't wait to read the next one!
If anyone likes #spaceopera with tons of action, grim humor, and antihero protagonists doing their best (usually), check out my #scifi #novel The Little Time Allotted Us. It's up for review until it comes out on March 5th! booksprout.co/reviewer/revie…
I just created my author account on Amazon, and finalized the internal formatting for my manuscript. This is finally starting to feel real! #amwriting #WritingCommmunity
I just finished writing the second book in a five book fantasy saga! I'm one step closer to finishing my favorite work of all time. Now, I can get to editing, and really tell the story! #amwriting #fantasy #amediting
Time for a cover reveal! Thanks to @miblart , a great Ukrainian-based company that did an awesome job! I couldn't even have imagined this #scifi #sciencefiction #indies #CoverReveal
I'm so stoked about the cover for my debut novel, so here's a teaser. #CoverReveal #scifi #sciencefiction #amwriting

Today is the day all writers dread. I have a synopsis to write.
I overheard two random, non sports fans talking about the WNBA draft on Sunday. I’ve had more non-basketball friends and family members text me over the last couple weeks about these games. Our game is in going places 🙌
HUGE: The WNBA Draft averaged a RECORD 2.45 MILLION viewers — the largest audience in its history!
March Madness is the greatest sporting event in history, and each year I'm proved right
Going back to China tomorrow for a couple of weeks, and I'll attempt my most difficult challenge yet! Not checking my reviews or sales for the whole time. Wish me strength!
This day 3 years ago I published Of Blood and Fire and started this journey. 6 titles published. Over 1 million words. Over 250,000 books sold. 5 different language deals. 1 life changed. Thank you all for making these 3 of the most incredible years of my life ❤️
Hi hello, calling a YA novel "juvenile" is not an insult, please stop putting it in reviews as a reason why you didn't like a YA book! YA books are juvenile by design because they are (get this!) first and foremost for juveniles!
Here are some suggested edits based on what I see in manuscripts: 1. Check for passive language (search for words like “was”) 2. Info dumping in first pages 3. Echoes 4. Do a pass for showing versus telling
#WritingCommunity I'm still closed to queries but will reopen in early May. Until then, feel free to take a look at my #MSWL and edit-edit-edit those manuscripts! The majority of my passes are NOT due to a bad concept but writing that still needs work. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/cath…
Interviewer: it says in your resume you went to Harvard University? Me: yeah, for my cousins graduation.
I’ve been stuck on a scene and down with writer’s block for like two weeks then looked at the scene today and just … started writing. No idea how I got unstuck. Anyone else have something like this happen?
@ChrisDavidGill Approaching book clubs. Personally visit them. You could either give a review copy or some of them buy their own. Many of them usually do leave reviews.
Just like the "a strong female character doesn't mean one who wields a sword" a strong start in a book does not necessarily mean an action-oriented start. It means a well-written beginning that gets the reader's attention, even if it's just a storm brewing on the horizon.
Like, it's disheartening to read literary agents and editors who suggest that if the first chapter doesn't start strong, or isn't action oriented, then it stands no chance. I'm reminded of many books with slower pacing, yet capture attention. Why are those a thing of the past?
Accidentally started reading one of those unbelievably good books that make you think why am I even bothering to try?
@10LauraPaquette This is one of my favorite responses so far. 😂
Asking for writer friends ❤️ what are the self/editing, revision methods/resources/tips out there (e.g. beta readers, read aloud feature) that have helped you the most to get your manuscript in the best shape you can? #amquerying #amrevising #WritingCommmunity #writersoftwitter
I’m in tears… not because of a rejection on a partial but because the agent took the time to offer four big paragraphs of feedback!! I’m so overwhelmed at how passionate they must have been about this book. Ive ended up with more hope than ever. #WritinCommmunity #amquerying
Look, epilogues are the last thing I want to read.
All this talk of prologues, but what about epilogues, though?
Me taking rejections like a champ knowing my agent is out there ❤️🔥
