Morgan Shamy 🩰📖

@MorganShamy @DNicholsAuthor Congrats!!!

This book took me 14 years. It was first agented in 2011. Then again in 2019. And again in 2023. Years of rewrites. Years of trying repeatedly to get this story right.And when I finally did…THAT’S what brought satisfaction. My confusion: AI use would never bring satisfaction.

@MorganShamy I would hope everyone is confused by this. And of course shout out to you and all your well earned success by doing it right!!!

@MorganShamy Way to go Morgan!!

@KathrynFaye007 Ohhhhh. You are the kindest!! And I’m so excited for you!! 🥹🥹🥹💕💕💕

@MorganShamy I still look up to you and you've helped me get my book to come out this May. Watching your tenacity and joy fuels me. Congratulations on your career thus far and many more years to come!

My entire writing career so far has been me telling myself: “One more time. I’ll try ONE more time.” Over and over. For 15 years. 📚🔥

@BWoostersauce Haha! Love it! 😆💕

@MorganShamy Holy smoke. 14 years. In two more, it can drive to book signings on its own. Seriously, that’s perseverance. Good for you.

@Adele_Liles You’re too kind!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

@MorganShamy You’re such an inspiration!

@kpbooksnstuff 🥹🥹💕💕🙏🏻🙏🏻

@MorganShamy So so true! And congratulations, Morgan. 🎉 You're an inspiration!

@MorganShamy @p_m_sylvestre Congratulations, Morgan!!!

@MorganShamy @CJSimone333 Nor would AI craft what only you could bring to the page. Congrats.

@NathanTheAuthor 🥹🥹🙏🏻🙏🏻

@MorganShamy You should be very proud of that. It's a huge accomplishment.

@KCcowanartgal Yessss. Any other way would be so empty and meaningless!

@MorganShamy So true! I love the process- I love to write!

@NathanTheAuthor Definitely! It’s the years of striving & growing & never giving up that I’m able to say: “I did it.”

@MorganShamy That's very true. I've seen some posts on Reddit from authors who used AI to write their entire book and they report that they don't feel too proud of the result.

@bethcarter007 🥹🥹💕💕

@MorganShamy You certainly made it on multiple fronts! Well done. 👏

@Kestrel_Bates 💕💕💕💕💕💕

@MorganShamy I'm querying my second manuscript in three years. I know I've got at least one more in me, but I don't know about 15 years. THat is some serious emotional fortitude.

@NicoleCouch20 🥹🥹🙏🏻🙏🏻💕💕

@MorganShamy As a long-haul querier, this is so inspiring. Few people understand the grit and resilience it takes to reach this level of success. Congratulations!

@Ekaylasimpson Yes!!

@MorganShamy I’m so glad for all your recent news; it’s nice to have good news to celebrate!

I won’t lie and say this doesn’t hurt. This week was supposed to be the release day for my debut. But we keep moving on, keep looking toward better things ❄️

@DarzAnnabelleR Thank uuuuuu 🥹🥹💕💕

@MorganShamy Congratulations!!!!!!!!

@plongrass Yes!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@MorganShamy Excellent, Morgan. I think too many people in the creative space expect that instant 'lightning in a bottle' thing where they get overnight success. That's often not the case, as you yourself prove

@pennyschnei @DNicholsAuthor 🥹🙌💕🙏🏻

@MorganShamy @DNicholsAuthor Awesome!
