@EKTwrites I’m a fellow NoVa mom (and aspiring YA fantasy writer) currently reading This Vicious Grace and absolutely loving it. Can’t wait to dive into the sequel when I finish!

As annoying as I feel about doing constant book promo I still hear “I didn’t realize This Cursed Light was out already!” multiple times a week so I guess I need to keep it up

@SpellmanEllie I’ve had it happen twice, and it’s gutting.

@megcasebolt What are you writing, Meg? I mostly do YA fantasy but have dabbled in historical in the past!

My anxiety is so much better since I started writing fiction, because instead of fixating on real things, I escape into my characters world. Downside: This weekend I completely missed Fathers Day because my brain was gone ... 🥴

So proud of @StacieMWrites for the release of her second book! Atmospheric historic mystery at its best!

@cakrolik Testament of Youth is amazing! Love the recent movie adaptation too.

@cakrolik I like it! Be super detailed in the original profile you fill out and give a lot of feedback on what you like and don’t like to maximize effectiveness. I’ve had great luck over the years with it.

@cakrolik Omg apparently it’s been so long I forgot my own name. lsulliv08 lol

@cakrolik Oh me! I mean not that my 36 week pregnant self is riding at the moment, but I’ll be back eventually!! lsullivan08

@BeckyM9637 So hard though! Good luck to you as well!

@lsullivanwrites Omg, I need to add “stop refreshing inbox” to my goals. Good luck!

My October goals: -Beta read a friend’s ms -Get back to a first draft I set aside during the #PitchWars editing crunch -Stop refreshing inbox every thirty seconds…. Let’s say the last one is a stretch. #PWPoePrompts

@KatKnightley Working on a retelling of Cinderella as a spy, set in the same fantasy world as my Pitch Wars submission!

#PitchWars submission complete! So thrilled to send my impulsive horse mage and her very sassy equine partner out into the world. Good luck to everyone submitting this year!

@KristieSmeltzer As ready as I can be, I think? My writing group had 🔥suggestions to whip my synopsis and query into shape, so here’s hoping! Good luck to you!
