I just sent a query to an agent whose wish list is so insanely close to what I have written that’s it’s almost creepy. If I get a straight out reject off this one then i’ll need to do some serious soul searching. #amquerying #WritingCommunity

So… I sent out my first 9 queries for my recently completed debut manuscript. Now what? I just sit and wait? Patience has never been my thing. This isn’t going to work for me at all. 😬#amquerying #WritingCommunity

Had some great feedback from my beta readers for “One in Eight”. It’s given me the psychological boost I needed for one more round of revisions. Then I’ll be going from #amrevising to #amquerying. Let’s go! #WritingCommunity

Half way through developmental edit revisions for One in Eight. Then send to beta readers. Then more revisions. Having one of those days where it feels like a slog. Must. Keep. Going. 😩

Wife and kids away for the weekend means 48 hours of UNDISTURBED writing. Like that’s even a thing. It’s going to be bliss! 😍 #WritingCommunity

A question for those in the know… is the traditional publishing vs self-pub route an either/or situation? Wondering if an author could self-pub while trying to land an agent, to build reputation (and maybe some sales!). Or would doing this put an agent off? #WritingCommunity

The notes from the Developmental Edit of the first draft of my first novel are due back today. It’s the first time anyone else has read any of my work. Excitement and anxiety in equal measure! 😬
