Honeybee

There may still be a foot of snow here, but the world from winter slumber wakes!
This beautiful honeybee came out for a cleansing flight. Warmed my heart!

2 feet of snow outside my window— and a ladybug inside flitting against the windowpane.
Ah, February. You are full on contradiction!
#writingcommunity #amwriting #snowdaystories

Exactly!

Me drafting: Ooh! That's brilliant.
Also me: What is this smoldering dump heap?

I can fix it on revision.

With chocolate and revision I can do anything!

Researching agents to query is a bit like going down the rabbit hole.
I spend hours, and I know agents spend hours sifting through our submissions.
Someone, somewhere will find a match!
Happy Querying!

Just bailed on a book because the child’s voice was too adult. Folks, child narrators, even in adult fiction, need to sound like children. Otherwise you lose your audience.

Started the day with a beautiful rejection letter. This agent took the time to acknowledge me. The agent did state that it was a form letter, but it did not feel like one.
Good rejections encourage.
Keep at it, folks!

Dreamed of a library last night.
Got an invite from a library this morning for an Author Event.
Thank you, Universe!

I am 'mature' in regards to the query trench. I send only when I know my story and I are a true fit for the agent. Successful? No. But neither was querying everyone.
I am a published author.
My work is good.
No need to rush.
There a million paths to publishing. #writingcommunity #querytrenches

Colon cancer testing and prevention What you need to know about colon cancer, including when and where you should get checked and tips to protect yourself. Get an at-home test

Seriously, tho: colon cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed forms of cancer. In early stages, there are often no symptoms, which is why screening is so important.

When colon cancer is caught early, 9 out of 10 people with the disease can be cured. More info:

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.
