#DAT I'm neurospicy and have a heart condition where stress can have severe (deadly) side-effects, so I'd like to be communicated with clearly so that I know what I need to do and by when. The whole business aspect is intimidating. I need a warrior who wants to take that on!

Hello, I'm April [she/her], and I'll write about my character Ria from my YA Modern Fantasy. Her favorite part about spring would likely be taking her finals and getting back her clearly stellar grades. #DAT

This definitely resonates for me ❤️❤️ isn’t that an amazing thought concept though. Rather than using any earlier trauma to get angry or bitter. Imagine using your past as a catalyst to becoming the type of person who would have protected and guided someone exposed to such…

@books4kimberly @mccloudwrites & @SithTimeLady, we ride together, we die together 😌
My shout out is to @OLRiesling and @mccloudwrites for encouraging me to give into my spite writing plot bunny, being super supportive, and dealing with my contextless one liners from my WIPs! They are amazing!
Shout out about an unagented writer friend who you think the world of and are rooting for their success: new friends, old friends, CPs, besties, ride or dies......📚 I'll select one winner duo - each gets a first 10-page critique. Comment by 6 pm EST on 4/28/24.
Oh it’s Indie Bookshop day? I should go buy books? Twist my arm! Fine I’ll go!
#WritingCommunity #amquerying Who needs an energy-boosting? Just look at the photo. Mother Nature is indescribable in its perfection.
@mccloudwrites Or they might even know how to keep the conversation with you. The right person lets you talk about nothing for hours haha
@mccloudwrites I'll just be sitting next to the person wondering what to say like
Anyone else just write paragraphs over text, but are too shy to even say a word in person? I feel like my introversion is strange 😭
#DAT Q1: Hello!! I'm Morgana (she/her), writing historical fantasy and horror. Tonight I'm talking about Lady of the Lake :) Donra's favourite thing about spring is the food. Winters in Gaul are rough, especially when Caesar winters his ravenous troops in your city 👀
#DAT Q1: Welcome! Please share your name (pronouns please!), genre, and your character's favorite thing about spring.
#DAT Q3: Lady of the Lake has roman numeral chapter titles. It just seemed to fit the story/voice the best! When I'm drafting I usually have chapter names though to help me remember where my plot points are in my navigation pane.
#DAT Q3: How do you title your chapters (numbers or words)? Does your genre/age influence it or just how you'remore comfortable doing it?
@SithTimeLady @OLRiesling @mccloudwrites I love this so much. Go get'em!
I just wrote the most masterpiece of an "existential awakening crisis" line, but if I share it with y'all, it'll spoil the entire plot. @OLRiesling and @mccloudwrites saw it. I'm dying right now. This poor character. #amwriting #amquerying #Imhilarious
@mccloudwrites @Writer_Gen You're both amazing!!!
@mccloudwrites Thanks. I'm expecting to receive some responses shortly for my short stories, and it's never good to go in with expectations. I swung a bit too far into protecting myself.
Internal dialogue: "I suck. I know it. I should expect all rejections and stop trying." Also, me: "I know what you're doing, and I appreciate the attempt to keep me from falling from too high, but there will be no deleting of stories. That's where I draw the line." "Fine."
Idk if this is going to relieve or cause anxiety lol. But since several CLA agents don't have their own QT profiles and several are still using Marisa's query box, unfortunately the tracker doesn't paint a complete picture for where you're at with each individual.
Warmest CLA Wedding Wishes to our Associate Agent and Lit. Manager, Micah Brocker, and her groom, Andrew, on their nuptials this week! We're celebrating your Happily Ever After! If you're a #screenwriter with a romcom, stay tuned for Micah's query box to re-open soon!
