@cgossagent I LOVE super specific MSWL. The vague ones turn me away TBH.

#amquerying authors: do you find a most descriptive MSWL is helpful when picking a match, or something that is open? I never want to discourage someone to query me, but I’d also like to be sure we’re a good match since FinePrint is a “query one at a time” agency.

@Mslexia Sacrificed TV and working out lol Still try to squeeze both in occasionally. Two words: time blocking.

What's one thing you've sacrificed to make time for writing? If you manage to squeeze everything in, please let us know your secret!! 😆 #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

@TSNOTYAW The link for scholarships is for 2024. Do you know when 2025’s applications will be open? Or am i in the wrong place? 🧐

Screaming/crying/throwing up. I JUST GOT MY FIRST MANUSCRIPT REQUEST 😭😭🤩🤩 #amquerying #writerslife #writersoftwitter #WritingCommunity

Officially hit the point in the evening where I’ve declared it impossible to write a 75 word pitch for my #manuscript. #writerscommunity #writerslife #writersoftwitter

If you’ve ever worked in an office you MUST go get this book. 36 pages in and I’ve laughed out loud, gasped in surprise, and fought tears. Can’t wait to finish it!! #readersoftwitter #readers #amreading

#ProudBlue Hey, Cat Ladies, we want to get in on the fun! #Women4Kamala2024

@nikkibarnes Childless dog moms too!! 🐕

There’s a movement

@AuthorKOrtiz I’m actually on Facebook & Instagram a lot more than Twitter but feel free to follow/DM. How many more queries have you sent? I’m finishing up with a beta reader group & then heading into a 4th? Round of revisions. Hoping to start querying again in the fall. Good luck to you!!

@StacyAnneWrites Omg yes! Absolutely!

Metaphors and similes!

@CharyseAAuthor I usually give a book 50 pages

Will you keep reading a book even if the first chapter doesn’t entirely draw you in?

@MoonRuark Thank you 😊

@StacyAnneWrites Congrats!!

Happy Tuesday!! #amwriting #writerslife #WritingCommunity

@GDWrightWrites Depends on the kid.

Slightly off topic, but what age do you let your kids get their ears pierced? 7 year old has just bought magnetic earrings, and is beginning to ask about getting them done properly…

@losfamgeles OMG totally something i would do!!! Hope you’re okay!

I got up to pee in the middle of the night at this hotel, forgot about the huge tv stand at the foot of the bed, hit my face on it, fell back in shock onto a table in the corner knocking over flowers and breaking a lamp like a cartoon character. I was not drunk. This is just me.

Might as well get in on the #WritingCommunity intros! I'm Stacy & I'm on my 4th(?) revision of my #womensfiction #WIP, hoping to #query again in a few months.

@TBQuarterly Hey, guys. Your website says you're open for submissions but your Submittable page says no open calls. Am I in the wrong place?

Nobody's in charge at this magazine, we don't have organization. If you write Taco Bell references into your stories and poems and send them to us, we may give you $100 and put them on our blog called the "Taco Bell Quarterly" and then you are officially part of Literature.

Spending the 4th revising my #WIP … with a head cold 🤧 #writerslife #amwriting #writersoftwitter #WritingCommunity

@realgirl_fieri It’s unbelievable & sad that people discredit your drive, athleticism, & motherhood role as unimportant compared to your weight. Keep doing what you’re doing. If it’s not going to be in your obituary, it doesn’t define you 🤷🏼‍♀️💜

@realgirl_fieri I know i’m late to the party here but I can’t believe the amount of people on here STILL pointing out what you could be doing “wrong.” You’re obviously kicking ass at life and the number on the scale or in your jeans has no bearing on that.
