Check out my little, lyrical novella I wrote for word lovers like you! A linguist, a lake monster, and the looming shadow of death—news of an unknown creature in the New Bedford Lake coincides with news that Natalia’s cancer has returned. amazon.com/Descriptions-H…

I wasn't sure I could even log into this thing anymore. Came back here to see health updates on Rick Harsch, chief editor of my publisher – Corona\Samizdat Books. I hear doctors are hopeful after he had a stroke. I'm keeping an eye out for most posts on his condition.

I don't often post about which books I'm reading but these arrived today from @CoronaSamizdat , and I feel compelled to note it has one of the most interesting catalogs around if you choose to step outside a NYTBR comfort zone.

@normiewrites @Nickyshearsby22 Your alpha readers are going to help you with either developmental edits (big picture/character development/plot changes) or structural edits (think of this as scene editing and restructuring). Betas will be helping with line editing (better sentences) & maybe even proofreading.

@Nickyshearsby22 how do you get to call yourself a beta reader and are they not as good as alpha ones?

Does anyone out there NOT like the idea of beta readers? Or am I alone in never wanting anyone to see my novels until they are polished to perfection?

@Nickyshearsby22 Well, I think the betas come pretty close to the end of the process, right? I'm in a writer's group, so I've got alpha readers too! My alphas help with structural edits and line edits, depending on the project. I do developmental work on my own and a final line edits with betas.

Sitting down to write this morning and I see an acceptance letter in my email. I hadn't submitted anything this year until this month, sending out a few on the 5th and the 10th. Glad to see one of them accepted already. #publishing #amwriting #fictionwriter

@faultyharb In my lifetime the word "gay" is no longer tossed around casually as a pejorative adjective. Thanks, Hilary Duff for helping make this possible!

@JFLhere OMG, I've been in some bands. Escape from Fiction (later changed to EFF!), Red Letter Days, and Flaming Doll Heads. I used to make up tons of band names and am revising my novel about a fictional death metal band.

@kbo_coyote @JudithLWebster *Yawn* 🥱 Non Sequitur much, dude? No one asked about self-publishing. What's up with the religious zeal self-pub kids have with talking about self-pub. It's like they're trying to convince themselves it's so much better to sink ones savings into their books.

@JudithLWebster The agent is only one part of the process. She or he has to find a publishing house that is willing to make the investment. And the truth it there are greater royalties to be had via self-publishing. Granted, promotion is the challenge. But you get to keep what you $ell.

#askagent Agents can someone please help demystify the “I didn’t connect with the writing” form rejection response? What does this mean? Because I’m ripping my hair out not knowing what to do with that 😅🤣 *send help*

@zoiya_morell I observe people and their behaviors and create fictional stories in my head. So kind of, yes. But, like, do I plant friends and family into my fiction? No.

Do you base your characters off of real people? I hope I don't, lol. Sometimes, I realize that a trait or two might've been picked up from someone I know, and I'm like, OH NO. 😂 #WritingCommunity #Writingq

@jodyjsperling Yeah. I need to redesign since I don't really use the blog function anymore. All that type of effort is (for me) best put into social media. It's nice to have a page though with bio, book links, and list of publication.
