Happy Friday, fellow writers and readers. Looking for new online mags to read. Any recommendations in #LiteraryFiction and #SpeculativeFiction or just cool stuff. Thanks! #WritingCommunity
I’m so excited!! I got a response from one of the agents I queried asking to see the entire manuscript. I know that this is not a guarantee that she will take it, especially since she pointed that out, but to finally have a positive response. Wow!!! #WritingCommunity
When you finally shake off the writers block and start something new. Not because somebody is telling you you have to, but because the idea itself has finally percolated and has to be poured from your brain to the paper. #WritingCommunity
Rejection letters? Not a fan. OK, back to it. In a minute. #WritingCommunity
Time travel stories are low hanging fruit. But I still have always wanted to write a good one. #WritingCommunity
If a man writes a book with a first person femaleViewpoint, is it by default suspect by or offensive to female readers? Can a man write with a female voice? Should he? #WritingCommunity
The new #accessibility options for #iOS14 look to have some great new features, including some incredible AI tech that helps describe images and improperly or uncoded HTML and Java/Swift elements on apps and web pages. I’ll post a link as soon as I can find one.
I just want to read one story where the weather isn’t a stand-in for plot or character. Please, I beg of you, no more impending storm clouds, ominous thunder or unexpected rain . Just once, I want to read about good news happening during a torrential rainstorm. #WritingCommunity
Here’s the scary part. I wrote a book. I’m trying to get it represented. I’m trying to follow the age old adage of continuing to write. But nothing is coming to me. This is scarier than writing the book in the first place. #WritingCommunity #WritersBlock
I’m reading My Year of Rest and Relaxation. It’s the first book I’ve read in years that I may stay up all night to finish. As a would-be novelist, I’m feeling pretty humbled.
First query letter for my debut novel out the door. Fly little birdie, fly and find true love. #WritingCommunity
And when the submission guidelines say to submit the first 10 pages, and that’s smack in the middle of a chapter, you do what? #WritingCommunity
If you romanticize the quality of 80s music, I would like to mention,as I listen to a rebroadcast of Casey Kasem‘s American Top 40 from this week in 1981, the chart included Ronnie Milsap, Alabama, Juice Newton, and at 34, the pig Latin classic, “Double Dip.“ That is all.
I’m looking for advice or trusted articles about how to write a synopsis for a character driven novel as part of a query package. The synopsis tale is kicking my actual tail and help would be so appreciated. #WritingCommunity
It’s not that my novel has no plot. It’s that the plot is primarily driven by character. Best way to pitch this to agents is…? #WritingCommunity
It's inevitable that at a certain point in a manuscript's life when you surrender it to friends and they send you their feedback, you go into a temporary paralysis of shame that you ever cursed such brilliant friends with such rawboned, shambolic work.
I’m seeing some disagreement on this, so I could use some advice. The header row of a novel manuscript where the author name, title and page number go. Should it be aligned left or right? Agents, writers, fellow humans, what’s your experience? Thanks! #WritingCommunity

"Well hello, you," the stress eater said seductively to the three-quarters of a chocolate ganache birthday cake waiting for her in the fridge at the end of a very stressful Wednesday.
@okNowMikeTweets No. No offense, but I don't care who wrote it. I only care how well they wrote it. That said, get it right. You do not want to blunder here.
Have you ever read an entire book in one sitting?
@ethiedee @BethanyMangle I'm a panster. I tried doing an outline for a new project. Once I finished the outline the compulsion to tell/work-through the story was gone. I set it aside and moved onto other stuff. I still haven't gone back. I keep thinking I should, but it just doesn't grab me anymore.
(after 17 rejections over the last 10 days) I'm very thrilled to announce an acceptance with @CabinetOfHeed! Longtime admirer of this journal, very excited to be included <3
When grown men refer to grown women as 'girls' I literally lose my mind. MEN, don't do this. We are not girls. We are grown-ass women.
@jesssica__evans Cold pizza works in the morning, but they'll lock you up if you order Pizza Hut before 11 AM. It's really weird.
@jesssica__evans I know this is a joke, but I've always found it odd how society just decided certain foods were only appropriate for certain meals. Eggs only for breakfast. Sandwiches are only lunch, unless you put an egg in it then you can have it for breakfast. Mimosas, it better be brunch.
One of those days where one bit of research leads to something else and before I know it, the tea has gone cold and I've been sitting for hours.
AAAAAAHHHHH! My query came back and they want the full manuscript!!!! AAAAAAAAHHH!!!
"Sometimes ... the language reflects that uncertainty, like: this would have happened, rather than: this is what happened. I’m trying to put the story back together..." This entire interview is stunning. @LoebDavon - WOW. hippocampusmagazine.com/2020/07/interv…
An acceptance from @FictionBerlin for a very weird piece!! Such a fan of this journal. I'm beyond excited to share this story with the world <3
@sadiewriter A dog. Nothing is more magical than a good dog.
I fear that writers, afraid of offending someone or not getting published, are taking less risks. I’m one editor who wants to see you write from your heart and soul and craziest imaginative place, no restrictions. Give it to me.
This is why the Blind And Visually Impaired do not use stickers in The messages app. This is what we hear from voiceover, “25865491-6A36-4A0C-9E76-BCDD80F20A69_AK265004_16e1623b25235a607138a685a0bf5ef2_thumbs_up.png, Button Image r.”
@neiltyson What if they are already here, but their sensory array and manifestation is so different from ours we don't even detect them and they don't see us?
Two days off from screens! ONE acceptance four rejections many, many hours to think and decompress. Hurray for Monday! Hello again, World :)
Oh snaps. Just submitted to those top tier dream lit mags that I've been coveting for ages. So I guess it's a good thing the gym opens today so I can go channel all this nervousness?!
