My greedy polyglot adventures in 2023 on @italki ;).

I've had a new poem published in CommuterLit. Could you guess who it is about just from its title "Because the Soup Is Getting Cold"? Take a look.📷 commuterlit.com/2026/01/tuesda…

@KiaraMars_ Still, this does sound encouraging. Definitely not a formal reply. And at least you did get a full request (which is more than I've been able to achieve, so far:)). If I were you, I'd keep querying!

This full rejection hurt... 🥲 Everyone keeps saying they are sure I'll find an agent. Yet, as much as I appreciate the kind words of encouragement, I can't help but wonder... is that agent still out there? #amquerying #WritingCommunity

@Lisa_of_Troy @AmazonKindle How do you like your colorsoft Kindle so far?

Although this pales in comparison with the major world events, I did get this new pink cover for my Kindle Colorsoft......@AmazonKindle

I'm currently on lesson 14 (of 35), and love every moment of my language journey, and the amazing community of veteran and beginner students of all ages and from many countries motivates me to go on.

What's the next best thing to a time travel machine? Learning an ancient language like Latin, of course. If you are looking for a teacher passionate about Latin @SaturaLanx_Lat (Irene) and her self-paced course Gustatio Linguae Latinae is what you need. x.com/SaturaLanx_Lat

@Lisa_of_Troy Hope the doctor arrived soon afterwards and had a really good reason to be SO late!

Me waiting for my doctor who is now 3 hours and 48 minutes late

@shanaschwarz Good luck!

Got the best agent “rejection” of my querying journey today! “Thank you for sending your full manuscript. I am passing, but want you to send this to my colleague ____ immediately. We’ve been chatting and…” Um. Guys. This was after a nudge and…is this happening?

@Lisa_of_Troy I actually like encountering extraverts. They do most of the small talk job for me.;)

I survived an encounter with an extrovert.....barely.

@HFLane_writing My favorite memoir on the topic: Kabloona: Among the Inuit goodreads.com/book/show/4263…

@Lisa_of_Troy And this for a special copy signed by the author! Inform the sender.

This is why you don't ship books in just a little piece of paper. Really sad.

@Lisa_of_Troy The author must have put a lot of time and effort into producing this concordance. And today Scrivener or other software could do this in half a minute or less.

Have you ever used a concordance before?

@Lisa_of_Troy Not yet.

Have you read The Wager yet?

@Lisa_of_Troy Lovely. And there is still some place on the bookshelves. Oh, the exquisite pleasure of filling it with the newly acquired volumes!;)

My latest book additions!

@uusaint Veni. Vidi. Munchy.

In six words or fewer, write a story about this picture. 👀🍩 #WritingCommunity #sixwordstory #amwriting #ChallengeAccepted #Saturday

@HFLane_writing Weird indeed. I remember I first heard about Lilith in a short story by Primo Levi.

@Lisa_of_Troy @SimonBooks I plan to read The Lonesome Dove.

Have you read Lonesome Dove, The Library Book, or Steve Jobs? Books from @SimonBooks 100 year celebration! #booktwt

@Lisa_of_Troy H Is For Hawk is in my TBR list.;)

New book cabinets (assembly in process)! Might be kinda obvious I need them! #booktwt

@Lisa_of_Troy H is For Hawk is in my TBR list.;)

@Lisa_of_Troy I already read Love In the Time etc. and loved it. I'd definitely pick The Goldfinch -- loved The Secret History.

Which of these books are you picking? #booktwt

@Lisa_of_Troy Lovely! Looks like those sold in IKEA. I have a different bur similar model.:)
