Banning rights was the start Now fascism's the name of the game Move 1: play or die Mer rolls the dice, foiling a govt plot, ruining a rebellion, & sharing secrets (& a bed) w/NB rebel Bryn But in a game of mind-control, love & choice are always a memory apart #QuestPit #Q #YA #T

A hopeful sign for monarchs 🦋 A WWF-Mexico-led study found monarch butterfly colonies covered 7.24 acres of forest, up from 4.42 acres last year, though the population still remains below the long-term average.

@BarredinDC Why would I hand it to them when I can just tap it?

POLL - do you ever hand your phone to a bartender/server at restaurant/bar for them to do phone tap to pay (e.g. Apple Pay). Age?

My little guy asked if the military ended the war 😔 And I had to tell him no. He asked why. And I had to tell him they started it. I hate this reality so much

@MisterHand1 Researching and querying as I go. I’ve queried a lot, but I still have a lot I need to fully vet and then query. I guess that’s a sign to keep going? I’ll take it as such haha

@WightCrow I think the answer is almost never a set number. Did you compile a full list before you started? If so, what % of your list have you queried? Or have you just been researching and then querying a few agents at a time?

#WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmQuerying, how many rejections do you get before giving up on a writing project? Asking for a me 😞

@JJSegwis Yes, all form rejections with the whole “thank you for sending/not right for our list at this time/still good/best of luck” format. I guess I’ll keep on querying and see if anyone bites!

@WightCrow I assume rejections with no feedback, yeah? If so, I just keep going. I'm very stubborn. (If there is feedback, then I consider re-drafting.)

@REstepLit I got you!

low/no fantasy Dystopian. I want humans with opressive governments. Bonus points for being spicy romances also. Indie author, Torri Heat, has a post apocalyptic called "Screwed" that I read in one sitting.

With queries open, here is a thread of things I really desperately want to see. Ill update this sporadically so check back!

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

@laurenspieller Just queried! So excited that you're open to queries again, and congratulations on your promotion!!!

Update! I am now open to queries (and I was promoted!) publishersmarketplace.com/members/lspiel…

A college track athlete is determined to reach her lifelong goal of becoming an Olympian, but when she catches feelings for a boy hours away she becomes distracted from her sport and has to determine which takes first place in her life: love or a gold medal. #questpit #W #R

A society encased in a decades-long war hardly fazes Len. The lawman turned pirate is an enemy to elves and merfolk, so why worry which side won? Finding the fabled luminous pearls is his ticket to luxury, or they are an apocalyptic weapon everyone wants. #Questpit #W #A #F #DR

Dorcha was trained to think the seelie royals are evil, but when visiting Draíocht for the 1st time, it isn’t at all what he was told. Plagued with doubts of his Master’s obvious desire for revenge, Dorcha learns too late where his loyalty should lie. #QuestPit #Q #MG #F #LGBT

#questpit A spirit and prison guard share the same desire—revenge. Both infiltrate a military academy where four closeted students get caught in the middle. One student begins to exhibit the use of dead magics neither entity anticipated. The question begs: whose side is he on?
