Still busy revising my manuscript. Looks like revisions will take another month or so - can't wait to re-submit this! Anyhow, it's midnight. Time to sleep & recharge those batteries. 'Nite, twitterverse. #amwriting #WritingCommunity
Let's fight! ⚔
My MMC gets it through books/scrolls (mostly). My FMC gets hers through educational devices that has a hologram as a teacher. They come from two different worlds that collide eventually. 😅

This can be a tough one. I'll go with the 'black dog' of depression. It is a bit of a cliche though, because I feel a 'dog' is too gentle/passive an example for what I go through daily. A 'black panther' is more accurate because it's dark and vicious. 🐾

I love, love using the sense of smell - it plays a crucial role in developing my MC, since he 'sees' different scents in different ribbons of color, which helps him track his prey better.

Hi! Sorry for hopping in late - I was travelling up north for nearly 6 hours lol. My name is Jo (she/her) and my WIP takes place on a fantasy planet called Terragonia. 🥰👍

Okay, it's time to celebrate my recent good news with a query critique giveaway, as promised! To be considered, give me your book pitch below and retweet this. I'll pick a winner this Wednesday!
Been revising my manuscript. Extensive edits all around; even dialogue changes. But the concept/characters are the same. Only more fleshed out/depth. Can I re-query agents who rejected the older version with this revised version? Help me out here. 😭 #amwriting #litagent
Thanks for the amazing session! See you guys again next week! 🥰
Falciel's aesthethic mostly involves a blood-drenched armor covered in ichor. As per his duty as an angelic general. Althea's aesthetic is more wild & carefree. Running around in self-stitched deerhide clothes, with mud on her cheeks, twigs in her hair and dirt under her nails.

For my FMC, who values true freedom in flight from a life full of scars. 🦅
I'll probably request to do virtual book launches instead of physical ones (one or two can be an exception). Mostly because I have severe anxiety in crowds and go into full-blown panic attacks/seizures. Virtuals are more fun & I can engage with my audience more confidently.

Numbers are easier for me. I don't think it has anything to do with the genre, but I would struggle to come up with a good chapter title without giving away the contents of the chapter itself (if that makes any sense).

Hi! I'm Jo (she/her) and I write sci-fi/fantasy romance. My FMC loves the scent of wet grass after a rainy day. 🌺

Personalized feedback from agents is the best because it helps you gage your mistakes & strengthen your manuscript before querying again. I retracted my unreplied queries to revise my manuscript after such feedback. Now I can improve before diving back in the trenches. 🌺
Oh my god did you know that Victorians kept hedgehogs in their kitchens? The hedgehogs ate beetles in the kitchen. Hedgehogs were working animals for Victorians!
Hey all! Going to do an #AskAgent from now until noon est. Bring on the questions!

We’ve been in our home four years now and every summer we have the black skink in our back yard. I just saw a new one today tho!
Epic fantasy is NOT dead, you just need to look a little harder to find the one that works for you. Just the year alone I have found 2 possibly 3 epic series that are not very well known. Keep looking and feel free to reach out for recs!
I know @JMCwrites isn’t on here much anymore but I just saw her book on a movie and squealed! It’s in the opening of The Idea of You.
Who invented the birthday party for toddlers concept? Like I feel like it's a fairly modern concept. Invented to torture parents....
@shardai_smithh For fiction it's completely unnecessary imo. For non fiction, it's good to have some sort of platform to show why you're the person to write the nonfiction, though there's some wiggle room.
A small update. I'm reading queries sent to me on March 26th and have 171 queries remaining and six fulls.
Please join us in welcoming Aaron Chakraborty to Corvisiero Literary Agency! @kendylldrilling was captivated by Aaron's lyrical prose, and we are thrilled to be representing his work!
Often times, rejections have more to do with the agent/publisher's assessment of the current marketability of your book more so than the writing itself. Just know that trends roll back around though. ;-)
IM FULLY CAUGHT UP ON MARCH AND APRIL QUERIES! If you're waiting to hear from me, it means I have your full. (Or I am waiting for it!)
@margowalker_ OMGOLEM As a former barista, they are TOTALLY information mongers! We knew who was having affairs (there was an affairs couch that the couple stayed on) and people tell baristas their life stories. It's like a bar, for caffeinated people.
#DAT Characters in my MS get info through the internet, in person discussions, a certain bubbly barista who is more than happy to offer helpful info to nudge the two MCs together, etc. You know, normal modern methods.
#DAT Q4: How do Cs in your WIP get their information about the world around them? (Newspapers, broadsides, internet, underground networks, magic, etc)
Y’all I went back to bed and slept and slept and slept. And now I feel human again.
@RavenVyper That’s a lot of fun!! Is it a socioeconomic difference? That is something in our works that can be a vast divide in information.
@RavenVyper I’m saddened by your struggle but so grateful you come to share with us.
@RavenVyper That’s a really fun skill to give your character! I bet you have a lot of fun making those descriptions.
