I successfully made a runny egg by myself for the 1st time in my life. I am 41yrs old! I know I will get laughed at for this but I don’t care. This is a small win for me 😊

"Why don't you just give up?" #writers A rant, a thread, whatever. - I started writing for one reason. Books kept me alive. At 6 years old, at 16, and now, at 26. I am here, LITERALLY still on earth, because of the authors who gave their time, effort, and souls to their books.

@authorkateozera Accountability is definitely what helps me make progress.

@courtney_ps Congratulations 🥳

@StephDRondeau What a generous thing to do Stephanie! I’m preparing to pitch my YA manuscript. Good luck everyone 🤞

@laurenspieller One of my four manuscripts is romantasy but all YA. It does seems to be the most popular. I remember I imagined myself many years ago going to see my fantasy book made into a movie at the cinema and yet never did that with the others.

I've been open to queries for a little over 24 hours, and more than 1/3 of the submissions I've received at YA Fantasy.
