I was a "no" but only because she didn't have the bandwidth for another series. She said I wrote a wonderful story with Disney/Rick Riordan Presents publishing potential, but she had to be selective because of her bandwidth. Probably the most meaningful rejection I have ever had.

I'm only bummed because it is clear that this agent truly cares about people and really liked my story and writing, but time was our enemy here. Anyway, I'm excited about the feedback and motivated to keep going. Going to query 5 agents today and then get back to writing.

Just broke ground on a new WIP. It took one day to draft a plot outline. Jumping in with both feet on this one. Wish me luck!

It's been a while since I've been this excited about a story idea. I don't even want to stop and make dinner!

#WritingCommunity How long does it take you to write a book? I'm giving myself 6 months from plotting to "the end." #amwriting

Just found an agency that said you can query more than one agent at a time... Do you think it's a good idea, or would you do one at a time, like usual. #askagent #WritingCommunity #amquerying

Okay, I have a good idea of what I want to write for my new WIP. I'm ready. I sit down to start typing... Oh, look, I didn't clean the kitchen... Oh, this new drama looks good! Oh, I need to do this first! Anyone else having a problem with procrastination? Help! #amwriting

Saw that I had an email in my query email inbox. Liked to had a heart attack opening it and... it was just a standard update from query manager.

I had eight consecutive panic attacks as I pressed the submit button on my first batch of queries. One of them was an R&R... lawd y'all... 👻 Positive vibes requested! 😅

Why you SHOULDN'T become a writer: -To get instantly RICH -To become famous -To put out a book that becomes an instant best seller Why you SHOULD become a writer: -You have an idea you love and think others would too -You're willing to put in years of hard work -It's your dream

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I don't! I joined and forgot about it for like 8 years. Apparently, I've been here for 12 years now. Yay! #MyTwitterAnniversary

Comments are a total invite to friendship! If I comment on your tweet, please feel free to follow me! 😊
Is it weird that I want to follow everyone who comments on my posts? Maybe just needy 😂 I’m like ‘but we’re friends now!!’ 😂

Can we all agree that stealing people's pitch ideas (whether you can "do it better" or not) is a crappy thing to do?
