@JoeWriter128622 110k!

@AuthWillowJames Wow 😳, what's your word count?

Today, I’m working on “useless word” editing. By far my least favorite part of the whole experience 😭 #authorproblems #writingcommunity

@StevenTBoers63 Pretty much the exact same but I also LOVE adding details to descriptions

Editing thought: Removing overly used words is my least favorite step in the editing process. My favorite is probably the simple read-through and make notes/changes as you go. What's yours?

@JoeWriter128622 Romance fantasy atm!

@AuthWillowJames What genre are you writing on?

@Pro__Author It’s a little bit of both. The story is for me, but some of the chose were definitely “oh the readers will love/hate this”

Do you write for yourself or for your readers?

Anyone wanna critique my query letter? I’m getting nervous going into my second round. #amquerying #queryletter #writingcommunity

@LeeAnnCooperrr What I’m spending today doing. I’m on 124 “stand”

I'm down to 361 instances of "just" in my MS. 😂🤣😂

@Jameswriter371 I’d honestly pick Rebecca Yarros bc she’s got such a mix of vibes within her stories.

@ECLChristy Mine is all of two sentences bc of this 😂

Why is it that writing a novel is so much more easier than writing a query letter? For me the worse paragraph to write is the about me section. I can write epic fantasies with huge battles, but come to writing about me and my brain goes blank.

@SirArminius I try to use unusual or exotic, but if a name fits a character idc how common it is

Authors - do you use common names, unusual names or exotic names? Mine are VERY common at the moment and I’ve been considering some changes. #writingcommunity #indieauthors

@Kacey_Combs Finish deleting/replacing filler words, and editing my query preps so I can get back in the trenches

Please share your writing goals or plans for this weekend and I will send you good vibes! #WritingCommunity #WritingLife

@allisonhopedeyo Honestly same 😭 some of these numbers are too big

@AuthWillowJames This part makes me so overwhelmed. lol

telling people about the book i wrote and they say they haven’t read a book since they were in 5th grade

@sirbenjaminjr I reworked all my query preps (like letter and synopsis) and made my pitches reflect the theme of my book over the tropes!

It’s Friday night, #writingcommunity — what were your wins for the week? Let’s hear some positive stories! 🫶 #writers #authorscommunity #authors

@CaffeinatedLiha The Selection back in its popularity

Which popular book bored you to tears?

@bttrflylosr Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. That book changed my views so much

if you could forget about only ONE book so you could read it again knowing nothing, which book are you choosing?

I feel attacked💀🤣

@Shareabookclub Maybe once it’s published

@thewriterjo Mourning for me but it’s not thattttt sad. This was my first one so I wasn’t expecting much! I am refocusing my pitches for the next one. This one I leaned romance, next time I’m leaning female rage 💕

How'd everyone fare from #questpit? Any agent or editor attention?? Let me celebrate (or mourn) with you. #writingcommunity
