From what I understand (don’t just go off of me though because I am also unsure), it is okay to send queries out to a handful of agents/publishers at a time, but common courtesy is that only one agent/publisher gets your full manuscript at the time. So, if you query three agents and one gets back right away asking to see more, you…[Read more]

Wow, that’s a horrible way to watch such a climactic movie. I’m sorry for your loss, @corkybookworm.

I kind of have the same thoughts about Thor. I was okay with the fat Thor thing because it seemed to me to be a human (if really poor) way of dealing with grief. But yes, it bugged me because he never pulled out of it. It also bugged me because my…[Read more]

@corkybookworm How far are you in 100 for 100? And what conference did you go to? Did you learn cool things? How was it?

@corkybookworm How far are you in 100 for 100? And what conference did you go to? Did you learn cool things? How was it?

@wordsmith, not at all. Just wish I wasn’t.

@cassidy

wow if we knew how to do that wouldn’t we all be a lot better off? I can’t give you a straight answer, but I can tell you that the newsletter is an important part of building an audience and Nadine Brandes has the best newsletter I’ve ever read. If you haven’t already, subscribe to it and read it every time it comes out. See what you can…[Read more]

@everyone

Ro had a great point. Steve Laube’s blog is basically the font of wisdom for anyone looking to go the traditional publishing route. Check it out here: https://stevelaube.com/blog/

I’m hoping to get traditionally published some day. Part of it is honestly just that I want that accomplishment on my record. Part of it is that I want the…[Read more]

@happyholly_c ME EITHER!

@wordsmith, good call. Good call. (wish I were you lol)

@Cassidy, glad to hear it!

@graceabounds2129 The job is great! I’m building a patio this week and that’s been fun. (Also, lifting all those bricks makes my hands hurt lol, but hey I’m gonna have a mean handshake when it’s all said and done!)

(Oh, and if you’ve seen Endgame, swing over here (that’s a Spiderman pun) and lets talk about some character dev stuff!)

HEY GUYS

HI

Thank you, @nuetrobolt (when did you change your username, anyway?) for getting a few faithful souls gathered up (@graceabounds2129, @cassidy, @corkybookworm, @missfaeriekaiti, and @pookiemonster.)

IT HAS BEEN DEAD AROUND HERE. Dead dead ded. Dead as a coffin nail.  Part of that is my fault. I’m working 50ish hour weeks and trying…[Read more]

@wordsmith

Sounds like you’ve been making some breakneck progress! Nice work. (Also, short story contest YEET!)

And hey, driving school sounds pretty cool! Are you a leadfoot?

HELLO

I have… sort of… returned.

BUT I HAVE A DATE. (no no, not that kind of date)

Do y’all want do know a date? A date is 6/24/19. Not a day sooner. Not *fingerscrossed* a day later. On THAT date, there will be a new lounge. So get your characters ready to… be characters!

Looking forward to it!

Wow. That’s a lot to handle.

I really liked to situational irony and Mara having no idea what was going on. But also BRENNAN SHOULD HAVE TOLD HER WHAT WAS UP. (I mean, not really that would have destroyed the conflict but… I wanted him too.) I do wonder why he didn’t, though. Was he injured doing something he shouldn’t have been doing? And…[Read more]
