#AmQuerying Authors 🙋🏻‍♀️ What’s worse? A. Waking up to rejections B. Complete silence For me, it’s B. #WritingCommunity

#AmQuerying #WritingCommunity #QueryTrenches A friend commented on my post about making timeline charts for my #Romantasy series. Said - why didn’t you just use AI for it? You would have saved yourself a world of pain - for a moment I was shocked. I thought, was I stupid? Should I have 🧵

I’m so fed up. That’s it. That’s all I wanted to say. #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity #QueryTrenches

Tired from waiting on queries - decided to go out to distract myself (after weeks of staying in). Didn’t drink, wore sneakers but still managed to twist my ankle & fall. Now, gotta deal with a swollen ankle & bloody knee ALONG with waiting on queries.🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ #QueryTrenches #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

AmQuerying WritingCommunity Work I’m doing before starting Book 2 of my Fantasy Romance series. 1: basic plot graph w/exactly what happens in each section. 2: has occupied my every thought for the last 10 days — An entire timeline for book 1 that blends into book 2.

Wanted to start book 2 of my 4 book series this week. But I spent the whole week making timelines, character profiles, other continuity sh*t + querying agents for book 1.. cherry on top? The rejections I got in less then 24 hours = 4 How are the rest of you doing ? #AmQuerying #QueryTrenches

Today, I started work on book 2 of my Romantasy series. Spent 7 hours trying to figure out how create a timing template that I can use for the whole series &how to make a massive printable pdf of it. I tried canva, then excel. Asked AI a million ‘how to’ Q’s. Then decided to…not use it. Kill me now.

I’m having a really hard time enjoying my self-imposed month long vacay from writing coz I’m constantly fretting about my queries that are out there. Normally, I get out of this funk by writing but it’s vacay time.. see my dilemma? 🥹 Anyone else going through this too? #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

ATTENTION: Authors in the Query Trenches I want to acknowledge every single one of us going thru this, and how much effort it takes. Perfecting every single query to every agent you’ve handpicked in the hopes of one day signing with them. It’s bloody hard. Cheers to us & keep going!💪🏼 #AmQuerying

I’m back in the query treanches with my new Romantasy (Romance Fantasy) MS & it feels like such an accomplishment but.. I’m also back to feeling like a nervous wreck. I love and hate this part of being an author. Exciting and terrifying in equal measure. How do you feel while querying ? #AmQuerying

Welcome to the World of Esmera! I’m excited to finally share my working book title & elevator pitch for my first book in a high fantasy romance series! I’ll be querying this before the end of 2025 🪄Magic 👑gods 🐉Dragons ☠️End of the world Prophecy 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒Found Family 👩‍❤️‍👨 Friends to Lovers 🛟 She rescues Him

Just finished reading #MetalSlinger and that plot twist towards the end. Oh my God ! I’m shook and even though everyone was saying, ‘that plot twist is insane’ & I knew there was going to be one, it just took me completely by surprise. Insane. Never read a twist like that before! #ReadingCommunity

Morning must-have while working on edits — Spiced hot chai. What’s your must-have while working? #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

MYTH: CATS DON'T COMFORT YOU WHEN YOU ARE SICK. Last night I wasn't well when I went to bed. Lily, my rescue Indy doesn't like to sleep in bed with me. Last night she cuddled w/me over the blankets as I spent hours tossing,turning, not once did she leave me. She was awake the whole time, purring.

First draft ✔️ for my #Romantasy Now a 2 week break before diving into developmental edits💪🏼 #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

So, The Buccaneers S-2 Ep-6. This is why unfinished books shouldn’t be turned into a film or show. I think they decided to hire George R. R. Martin for this episode. Like seriously. W.T.A.F.

What is the wildest thing you’ve done in the name of research? #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

Okay, Question: what was the most recent stupid thing you did while working on your manuscript? Asking coz I did something stupid and I want to feel less alone. Note: the wilder and crazier the answer, the better I’ll feel 😉 #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying #AuthorsofBlueSky

68k words done, 35k or so more to go for this #Romantasy #WIP 💪🏼 #WritingCommunity

Been steadily gaining unwanted weight coz of bad eating habits. Decided to stop today. Now, I’m hungry. Like really really hungry. Everything sucks. #WritingCommunity

Hey #WritingCommunity Just passed the 40% mark of my Romantasy #WIP. I’m not freaking out & screaming with joy, please… I’m a serious adult. Also me:

Worked on my #MS everyday this week. Got 2 and a half chapters done. (My book is around 40 chapters total) I’m over the moon and ready to rock up this weekend with reading from my #TBR and watching movies with my parents 💪🏼💯 #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

Being a writer is accepting that consistency is the goal we’ll never reach… or so I’m realising these days 🙈 #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

Does anyone else disappear from socials when your nose deep in your MS? Or is it just me? #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

Tried to start working today (Monday). But then my ceiling starting leaking considerably out of nowhere, my haematologist then suggested I consult an oncologist and now I can’t work.🤷🏻‍♀️ #WritingCommunity

Just finished reading the Fate & Flame series by K. A. Tucker Loved! So good! #WritingCommunity
