Check out my new short story “Monsteroideae” in Issue 7 of @GrimandGilded! Grateful for this lit mag and the forum it provides for those of us who write in the magical realism, horror, and fantasy spaces. #WritingCommunity #litmag

I won't be the one with a huge book deal, won't be the one invited to all the things, won't be the one with a million reviews... That's okay. All I want is for one kid to read my book, hold it close and whisper..."I needed this. I love this."

How do you push yourself to write even when you don't feel like it?

#querytip Keep a folder on your desktop with your synopsis, full manuscript, first 50p, first 100p, and a document w/ questions often asked in query manager so you can copy & paste. Things like: 1-sentence pitch, the potential target audience for your book, etc. All ready to go!

@YaraGhayar You can definitely do it!!! We all support you! You got this! 👏🏻

#WritingLife Think I can squeeze in the remaining 3k words left to finish my manuscript (first draft)? I really wanna finish it today!

Why is this so relatable😭😂?! #writerslife #amwriting

I just found out that my short story “Inheritance” is going to be included in an anthology called The Year’s Best Science Fiction on Earth! This is the first time my writing’s made it into a “Year’s Best” anthology, so it’s an exciting day 🥹 #amwriting

What is your favourite place you've travelled to as research for your book?

Y'ALL ONE OF THE QUERIES I HELPED CRIT JUST GOT A FULL IM SO EXCITED THIS IS MAGIC TYSM FOR LETTING ME SEE YOUR PITCHES it's incredible to be part of the #amquerying journey!!!

Will I pull a query out of the middle of my pile because it has an amazing title, find out the concept is also amazing and immediately request it? Yes, yes I will.

I’m in that weird stage of #writing. My first book is finished, and I’ve started querying. I want to get back into writing book 2 but my mood and motivation are LOW. 😞 Querying (waiting) is difficult on the psyche. How do you get back into your creative mood #WritingCommunity

#writingcommunity I'd say I'm a Lawful Pantser. Except I definitely know the end and write towards it. I don't make plot outlines and only have a rough idea of character bios. I'm totally curious. What's your style? #writersoftwitter

You know you're a writer when... You remove two words from a sentence, and it works so much better that you feel inordinately joyful for the rest of the day. #WritingCommunity #writing
