The Earth is dying, driven to collapse by society’s addiction to technology. When Elias, a refugee from a forgotten civilisation, is dragged into a war to save a world that rejected him, he loses the one thing he was fighting for, his brother. #scfi amazon.co.uk/dp/B08DTK589K/…

@chelseabwrites Those are some serious heavyweights behind you now!

@ColeMartyn2 @chelseabwrites @davidtwilby @FrasierArmitage Back at cha / do check Cole’s books - here’s my review of one of them: darkmatt.blogspot.com/2021/12/matt-f…

@SEPAnovels 👍

@AlRhodes92 @eltonofficial 😂 that one will hurt

@eltonofficial Ironically, Elon loses a rocket man

All my life I’ve tried to use music to bring people together. Yet it saddens me to see how misinformation is now being used to divide our world.   I’ve decided to no longer use Twitter, given their recent change in policy which will allow misinformation to flourish unchecked.

@mrwriterman79 Yeah it’s mental how much a 1star can screw with your scores. Well done on getting 135 ratings though. That’s epic

Nevada Noir has 75 x 5 ⭐️ ratings. Out of 135 total. But Amazon says that’s “50%”. Because, you know, weighting or whatever. Ever get the impression they’re not really on our side?!?

@AnnieLennox I love this. Imagine spending ages practising this and getting praised by Annie Lennox for it! Legends all round

Wow - love this

@JrsRashed @GodSlapOfficial That’s immense. Getting some Street Fighter vibes there

Had the privilege of working with @GodSlapOfficial to make one of the limited edition covers! Get a copy here! --> godslapbook.com

@J0hnADouglas Good work getting her into fantasy now. Great genre for someone who likes to read a lot!

@J0hnADouglas That’s such a great story. Glad she liked it!

@isabelacarv I think any feedback from an agent like that is positive! Most of the time they just send form rejections

When an agent says my “writing voice is really engaging” after having read my full, am I allowed to count it as a positive even though it was a pass? #AmQuerying

@n_netter_Kerl @Pierce_Brown

@ColeMartyn2 @Pierce_Brown No, just you ;-)

Anyone else seeing a lot of the @Pierce_Brown influence on #andor?

@ELCrocker3 @harryillers A bit late to the party but congratulations! I met Harry a few years ago when I was querying my first book, a real gem of an agent! I’m sure you’ll achieve great things together

@Feather_Chelle I revise. But might do complete re-writes of certain chapters if I’m not happy

#WritingCommunity After writing your first draft, do you revise it or start from scratch on draft 2?

@QEisenacher Wow 🤩 that’s amazing! I’m two years in and not even reached 50 ratings yet!

*spits out morning tea* 800 for Miss Percy's Pocket Guide! 200 for Miss Percy's Travel Guide! (in only six weeks!) Well, then.

@kctorawrites I do, depends on which character is talking.

Do you use words like “kinda/gonna/wanna/etc” in dialogue? Word underlines it, but I wanna keep it in. #WritingCommunity

@MetzgerKaty Rejections are a big part of writing. No one should make you feel bad about them. It’s just part of the industry

Normalize not making people feel bad for feeling bad after a rejection.

@elizjameswrites Wow - that’s a really positive step. Congratulations

I got another rejection yesterday. This time it was from a publisher. BUT… they asked to see 3 other stories of mine. So…🤞🤞🤞!!
