@eileenwanita Definitely take some time to enjoy that. Finishing a ms is a huge milestone

Now I have some big decisions to make. But is it ok if I sit for awhile and bask in the glow of my finished manuscript?

@caytlyn_brooke Congrats!! That's fabulous!

Just heard back and my new gothic historical thriller was not only an Editor's Pick from BookLife, but the review will also be published in the April edition of Publisher's Weekly! I am SO freaking excited!!

@misplacedcomma2 Strong tea helps too

Maybe part of being an author is never being satisfied. Always wanting the next big thing. Or maybe it’s just a coffee-driven obsession. Either way, launching Square Hearts in May has reminded me how much enthusiasm, energy, and coffee it takes to launch a book.

@honeymoon250 All 20 for me. I used to be really good at reading paper maps and judging distance on those things

6 for me!! I feel confident nobody Has all 20 How many for you?

Woke up way too early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. So got in some bonus writing time. 😁 #amwritingfantasy

@stephenRB4 I have wondered this myself, many times.

When people comment on your posts, but their reply has nothing to do with the initial post, and you have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about. Why?

Apparently if you’re right-brained you see a rabbit, if you’re left-brained you see a turtle. What do you see? 🤔

@MJG_Write Congratulations!!! 🎉

I finally became a published author in 2024. My debut novel, SKY'S END changed my life. Since it released: -NYT bestseller -Book trilogy -Film in development -Translation deals in six countries -Six state reading lists -A book deal for another book -More secret news 👀

@Lyons_Pen I have a kitty that looks very similar and does the same to me!

I love having kindle on my phone because of how frequently I get unexpectedly trapped

@authlaurenwood Good luck!

I’ve found an agent who is literally asking for my book. Comp titles and all… if she rejects me, I think this will be the first rejection to REALLY sting😭

@SDDonovan Hi! I don't post here often because of how much it feels like shouting into the void. But I am on here commenting and hanging out from time to time.

I feel like I am shouting into the void again in this place. If you're an author, reader, or anyone into books, say hi! I want to follow as many of you as I can!

@RWeberWrites One kitty Shadeena

@Matt_Pinner All 20 for me. I still own a physical dictionary.

7 for me!!….I feel confident nobody Has all 20!! How many for you?🤔

@PJScribbansAuth Draft first then revise. My internal editor is never silent, but I need it to be quiet so I can get the story out. What about you?

Writers: do you edit as you go, or draft first and fix later?

@lady_valor_07 Beans 😆

You have to name him the last thing you ate

@cjhurdwrites Way to go! Getting it finished is a great achievement!

WRITING UPDATE: 2774 words today!! 96582 total I DID IT I FINISHED IT 🎉 it's full of clunky dialogue and run-on sentences and I'm pretty sure 8% of it is just the word "look" or variant, but it is FINISHED

@timmckay52 That's fabulous! Congratulations!

30 books away from celebrating 1,000 books sold. Dang that's exciting.

@DanaGricken Congrats!!

Just signed the contract to have my fantasy novella published in 2027 by a small press. Exciting!!!

@MJG_Write Congrats 👏

Almost four years ago, I worried I'd never get published. Now, I'm only weeks away from reading the screenplay adaptation of my book. Just keep going!
