@reece_dinsdale It makes me sad for them, Reece. Imagine being them :(

Sick of listening to the gormless, ill-educated, bigoted responses I get on here. I’m convinced so many folk only post on social media simply as an outlet for their vitriol & abuse. It’s the default setting of so many. Imagine being that gnarled that you can never see the light.

@nayright12 Yes

My account is on its last legs. Would anyone who sees it just confirm with a 'yes'. I'd be very grateful 🙏

@KirstieMAllsopp Completely agree.

I am very reluctantly coming to the conclusion that this is the most unpleasant platform I can be standing on. X has become far more uncomfortable & unpleasant than a tube station with a drunk passenger shouting abuse, and a lot more deluded.

@KoalaQuillHQ I have over 6000 followers but never get seen here since the changes so it’s not even about the numbers anymore

Dear Publisher, I understand you're seeking authors with established platforms of 10k+ followers. While I cannot offer you that, I have at least 1 Twitter follower who is (probably) not a bot, untreated anxiety, and a profound fear of self-promotion that really builds character.

Autumn heralds #Halloween A time for ghosts, and things unseen. Shall I venture out, amongst the others? Or hide, right here, beneath the covers? A monster? Me? It can been said. But I think I'll stay here in my bed! #vss365 #amwriting

Most teens worry about fitting in. Graveyard freak A.J. Cooke’s biggest problem? Her best friends are💀 The Ghosts of Llyne is a gothic-tinged upper #MG lower #YA crossover about small town secrets and learning to embrace who you are 🇬🇧 Chills & humor🌈friendly #Ghostpit #Q

@LettySWrites Me, too. Are we allowed to like posts? Or just comment?

Decided to participate in #GhostPit at the last minute. VEILED ENCHANTMENTS follows the underestimated Blake, whose only chance of obtaining the power, status and belonging she has been denied is to steal from the Grandwitch himself. One girl stands in her way. #YA #F #Agented

@Colonel_Myway I see you in 25. But I just logged on so you could say in one minute

Please reply if you see this within 5 minutes of posting but no later than that. This is a test to determine how long it takes for users to receive notifications of X posts about MAGA chaos and poke Elon in the eye.

@LucasSa56947288 I'm close to unfollowing as you never followed back ...

Hey everyone! I’m almost close to my goal of 50k followers! I’m 700 away from reaching that milestone! Help me reach to my goal! 🏆

@MozPerkins Twitter seems especially dark today and I was just logging out when I saw your post. Thanks for making me laugh.

l've accidentally swallowed some Scrabble tiles. My next poo could spell disaster…

@TommyDeanWriter And shrugging. How often do we shrug in real life? I like scrunched though. Great word.

Revision tip: check your manuscript for gasp, held breath, twisted guts, glanced, saw, felt, monitor, control, lighting strike, smiled, fringed, glared, sucked in, scrunched, blood stopped, ran cold, anything filtering emotions as bodily responses, especially ones that are largely involuntary in real life

I decided to join in the madness today. I never knew the kid had a diary!!! Uh-oh!!! #UnhingedPit #Q #A #Suspense

@TommyDeanWriter Incoming :)

I'd love to consider your query!

@Lady_J_Author Productive but stressful! Had a moving quote and sold a TV stand. Now I need to lie down! Or drink wine. Or both.

How was your day?

@REstepLit I missed all the fuss, but I like the extra questions. Last one I did, they asked for my favourite line from my book. Loved that!

Hi friends! I hear you! I took the question out of my query form. Let's remember to be kind in a world where young agents are also still learning. I thought it was fun, but you dont? Okay! That was meant to be a helpful post and instead I got people attacking my character.

@author_VV I'm here but rarely seen. I think my followers must be bots!

@reece_dinsdale The same. Used to wear coats in summer to cover up. Looking back, I can see I was skinny & my nose normal size. No Social Media or reality shows then. Today's kids have it really hard. Yes, let it go. Don't wait till you're a 100yrs old to look back & see you looked great now

I’m 66 & still carry the scars from my youth re my body image. Then, my 20 yr old self suffered from body dysmorphia, believing I was twice my size. Now that I actually AM twice the size of my 20 yr old self, my dysmorphia is off the scale. Tell me it’s ok to let this all go.

@GinaBMonroe Thanks. I've been trying but you have to type straight into the second word and my thumb instinctively hits the space bar for a new word! And sometimes a long hyphen appears when working at speed and I have no idea how I did it! Slows me down. I guess practice is needed!!!

@AlibearNS Mine autocorrects if I type two hyphens together, another word, and hit the space bar. So ‘word- -word ’ without the space in the middle of the hyphens. The en dashes combine into an em dash.

Still struggling with using the em dash in Word. I watched videos on it and I'm still hit and miss. Using it as a frequent symbol just takes too much time. Anyone use these in their MG's? I think I'll give up on it :( #writers #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity #writerslife

Just started querying a 26,000 word Lower MG novel (7-10). First query turned down within an hour (nicely) saying they don't do novellas. Really confused - Google says the word count is fine. Anyone out there write #MG ? #Writingcommunity #Writers #Amquerying #writerslife
