Querying YA Dystopia
Here to chase my dreams and cheer on my friends who are doing the same. ❤️

I bought a #garmin fitness watch this past week. Immediately after I programmed it, I made lunch for my children, fed them, and cleared the table. Then my new watch informed me that I seemed stressed and should probably sit down. 😂

Finally caved and got a fitness watch… now comes the hard work: getting my laptop secured to my treadmill so I can write/revise while I walk.
I could walk a marathon with that set up. 😂👟🏃‍♀️💻

Almost half way to my word cut goal! So far, I’m on track to start querying again at the end of this month.. ❤️😬🤞

I can officially round down 7,000 words from a manuscript I SINCERELY thought I had tightened to its limits. Commercial #YA fiction is a tricky beast, but I am learning so much. #writingcommunity #wordcuts #booksky #nopainnogain #writesky

Roughly 500 more words cut this morning. Daily surgery like this is tough, but I feel things getting tighter and my manuscript will be better for it:)
Hopefully.

This morning’s word cut: 700 words. It’s slow work, but I’m getting there! #writingcommunity #booksky #revising #wordcuts

After a meeting with a writing coach, I am back to more word cuts this morning and… oh, the butchery and surgery required! But alas, it’s both painful and necessary. #writingcommunity #wordcuts #queryinghiatus #aspiringauthor

When a friend wants to lend you a favorite book, where does it tend to land on your TBR? Asking for a friend…

a friend with a very long TBR. 😳😩

Nothing like starting your morning off with word cuts! Anyone else in that stage of revisions? #revising #writngcommunity #amquerying #booksky

What is the one thing you need to have or do before you start a writing session? #writingcommunity #amquerying #aspiringauthor #booksky

I’m generally a faithful member of the #writersclub, but my sinuses are telling me a cold is coming in hot. Sounds like my willpower will be put to the test tomorrow morning.
Which will win: my head (cold) or my heart?

Looking at a week with little to no sunshine and A LOT of rain. Sounds like a great time for revisions! #booksky #writingcommunity #revising #amquerying
