Writers... Tell me about a paragraph you wrote today that you're super proud of... #writingcommunity #wip

Daily reminder for me and you! Normalize saying WHEN... Instead of if! And say it like you mean it! Read & Repeat! #writingcommunity #dailyreminder

Everytime I read my manuscript I find something new to change. I finally made it through editing chapters 1-15 out of 35 and ended back at chpt 1! When do you finally just leave it be and move forward? #writingcommunity

ATTN: Romance Writers... ❤️🤣😂

It's the long weekend!!! Are you taking a break, or have you set a writing goal this weekend?

In case you've lost track writing or lost in the query trenches.... Today is Tuewedursday, July 37th. Your welcome. 😁

I'm supposed to be polishing the remaining chapters of my debut, The Green Door before I prepare to query.. But my mind is overflowing with additions to my WIP! I'm so excited for both, but I MUST focus!!! 😆 #WritingCommunity #Author #WIP

I'm seeing a lot of queries with word counts that don't make sense for the genre/age category. For instance, several "literary fiction" queries in the 20-25k range, or MG that's only 10k words. Be sure to keep word count in mind, especially for your debut! manuscriptacademy.com/word-count-b...
