I got involved on this app late in the game and am finding it challenging to locate author/reader buddies. This is my kindergarten style introduction: #writercommunity, anybody out there looking for buddies on this app?

@JasonKelce & @tkelce my best friend & I like to sit in her garage & drink beers. you know what would just be super cool? If garage beers were sold closer to Kansas City than Saint Louis. or if Trav wants to sneaky drop off beers in the trader Joe parking lot, that’d be cool, too

I find it fascinating how often folks will tell you something in publishing is unobtainable as if that should stop you from trying for it. How else do things become obtainable if not going for them with all you’ve got?

@StevenRayMorris Oof. Married to a firefighter. I think he’s lost count :-/

First date question, “How many dead bodies have you seen?”

Independent publishing with an offset print run & forging new ways to distribute to indie book stores. This shit is getting REALLY fun. Kickstarter is live for 20 days if you’d like to join in the adventure of publishing my time travel Arthurian adventure, La Vie de Guinevere.

@Michelle4Laughs @StormLiterary @vselvaggio1 Congrats, Michelle!

So I have some news to share! Thanks to @StormLiterary and @vselvaggio1!

Learning that both @tkelce and Jason Kelce also hate Bulgarian split squats just generally lifts my spirit.

Realized today that I’ve been saying “cacophony” wrong for a lot of years. Nothing like using a $10 word in a sentence and feeling like an eloquent princess only to realize you’re, in fact, the unwitting jester. 🤣

Does @TaikaWaititi ever fly southwest? Asking for a friend who thought she just saw him in the C terminal of the Phoenix airport. But she’s also delusional and sorta just sees what she wants in the world. She’s a mess. (It’s me. I’m she.)

I don’t mean to brag, but they had to double wrap my burrito at chipotle today.

I changed into my nice sweat pants to walk our daughter to school. Now I’ll change back into my comfy ones for my home work day. Livin’ the dream.

@Michelle4Laughs Copy that! Thank you

@PaulaJLafferty Probably around 9 am.

Reminder that I'm closing for queries on September 7th and that you can find me at the sky place under this handle or on threads under @ Storm Literary Agency. Because I'm here less and less.

@Michelle4Laughs … I am not the quickest. Where is the sky place? 😬

Ok but how much do I need to pay a professional to read my book and beautifully write the synopsis for me?

@Michelle4Laughs @SavvyCarlisle That’s a lot- but this is also super cool of you. I’m not sure I’ll be able to finish my edits before you close but… I really admire that you approach it this way.

@SavvyCarlisle Nope. Just me.

For those who like stats, I've received over 550 queries in a week. Which is way more than I received when I opened in February or September 2022. It's more than I usually see in a month.
