Do any other #writers listen to music while editing their manuscripts? I usually like listening to classical piano or cello music, usually with an oddly niche titles like “and if you didn’t exist, I’d still look for you” #writingcommunity #manuscript #editing #author

@readbykait Me too!!! I’m really loving it atm. How far are you through the book?

currently reading normal people. why did it take me so long

@Purlandion Thank you!!!! 😊

Best wishes, Scott.

@SPragada Thanks Sargi! I’ll reach out once I’ve got a full manuscript

@ScottBradbrook Can I help?

I just sent the first few chapters of my new book to some beta readers!!!! I’m a mix of proud and nervous all at once, but glad I’m taking a step to (hopefully) getting published. Wish me luck!! ♥️ #writingcommunity #writer #book

@GCeciwriter Thanks Greg!!! 😊

@ScottBradbrook Good luck!

@EllieJayWrites Thanks Ellie!!!

@ScottBradbrook Good luck!

@EditSynergy Thanks! And definitely!!! I’ll reach out once the full manuscript is ready

@ScottBradbrook Good luck. Can I still join your beta reading team?

@Robinov14 Couldn’t agree more! I’m choosing be proud of my work as much as I can though

@ScottBradbrook Proud and nervous, the two fulcrums of writing. 😉

@Kestrel_Bates Thank you!!! Definitely feeling the rush and super excited to hear back

@ScottBradbrook Good luck Scott. The second round is always a blast as there is (hopefully) a lot of positive feedback on far the story and characters have come.

@ChrisHugschuku Thanks Chris!!

@ScottBradbrook Good luck

@MeeyahCritique @TiffeQuill Thanks Meeyah! I’ll definitely reach out once I’ve got a full manuscript ready

@ScottBradbrook @TiffeQuill That sounds like a fascinating project. If you're still looking for beta readers, I'd be happy to help and provide feedback on pacing and story arc.

@canopycritique My first draft was about 173K words 🫠 but I’m slowly getting through it with different styles of edits

@ScottBradbrook Overwriting is a much easier problem to have than not having enough on the page How much did the draft end up growing by?

“… We once believed our fingerprints tessellated and the lines on our palms were tied. But my heart line beats on without you, your head line thinks about someone else, and our life lines no longer meet at hello.”

Prompt: Writers! Say “we became strangers” without saying “we became strangers”. My take: “My hand used to fit in yours so perfectly. Now my fingers feel like tourists in a foreign land, knowing they’re just visiting but don’t truly belong…” (Continued in replies)

@MeeyahCritique @TiffeQuill At the moment I’m writing Fiction (more like Bildungsroman though I know it’s not commonly known as that) but I like venturing into magical realism. I think once I get a full manuscript edited, I’d like feedback on pacing and story arc

@ScottBradbrook @TiffeQuill Nice to hear What genre do you write? Also what area do you need feedback on?

@canopycritique It’ll probably take some time before I’m ready to show my full manuscript, but I’m hoping in the next few months. I seem to have drastically overwritten my initial draft ahaha

@ScottBradbrook I’d love to be part of the beta team when the time comes. Would you mind letting me know when you have the full manuscript ready?

@MeenahReads01 Nawww that’s so kind! Thanks Meenah! Will definitely reach out when I’ve got a full manuscript 🥳

@ScottBradbrook Sending chapters to beta readers is such a big step. Wishing you lots of useful feedback and a smooth path toward publication. And if you ever need another beta reader for future drafts, feel free to reach out.

@TiffeQuill I think I’ll definitely love to have more beta readers when my full manuscript is ready. The full one is a little close to 173K words so I’ve got a looooot of editing to do

@ScottBradbrook Are you still open to having another beta reader?

@ValeriyaSalt Thanks Valeriya! Super excited to hear back from them 🤩

@ScottBradbrook All the best! It’s nerve-wrecking to wait for the feedback, but also very exciting 👍

@AuthorsGo4Broke Naww thank you!! 🫶

@ScottBradbrook Yes but I guarantee it IS written for a lot of people! I hope you get great positive feedback! Keep us posted on your progress! I can't wait for you to be published 😊
