As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I’m part of an online writing group that does writing swaps/positivity passes. Though I know this is an international group, it didn’t really sink in until I got my latest piece of feedback from our swap: Y’all, someone in GERMANY has not only read but liked my writing. I’mContinue reading “Long Distance Feedback”

Remember Hope?
This is my second ever meme. I made it when I still had hope that we might be able to get a handle on this pandemic quickly. *cough*
Agent Searches
In a Twitter Q&A with an author I follow, there was a question about how to find agents. This is the million dollar question, is it not? They are the gate keepers between finishing a book and landing a deal with a major publisher. The author provided two resources, both of which will let youContinue reading “Agent Searches”
Another Beta Reader Returns
Originally, when Ann and Amy were done reading through my WIP, I intended to take them for a nice dinner as a thank you. COVID has, of course, changed that plan. I felt bad that Amy opted to mail me my manuscript back (she lives in IL) because I figured it would be expensive –Continue reading “Another Beta Reader Returns”

The admin for this group is also participating in #RevPit and offered the idea of a Positivity Pass to our groupContinue reading “Positivity Passes”

This is simply a collage of pictures that represent your novel. It sounded like a fun exercise, and I am aContinue reading “#RevPit Novel Aesthetic”
#DVPit
#DVPit is a “Twitter event created to showcase pitches from marginalized voices that have been historically underrepresented in publishing” (The DV stands for Diverse Voices). It was brought to my attention through my participation in #RevPit, mentioned in a previous post. I had no clue things like this existed, though I’ve been on Twitter (underContinue reading “#DVPit”
#RevPit
Today would have been my nana’s (nah-nah) 92nd birthday. My middle name is after her first – and I carry it and all her sass and fierceness with me every single day. It is also the day that I submitted for #RevPit. #RevPit, I have learned, is a Twitter Pitch Fest lead by editors. “ItContinue reading “#RevPit”
Quarantine Has Broken Me
I made my very first meme.
