I'm going on my second ever Scotland writing break at the end of the month... Not to the Highlands this time, but to Wigtown, Scotland's National Booktown!! Excited isn't the word :D :D <3

MY QUERYING STORY, SO FAR https://t.co/BKWoxUObjI via @YouTube

[April Grace @AprilGraceable]

Either way- I need to be more organised with my life.

[April Grace @AprilGraceable]

I uploaded a video the other day, however, that will tell you exactly why I haven't been able to do that yet so far this new year, with a lot of things that happened in January. Needless to say, I'm glad January 2018 is gone. Done with. I also want to start Tweeting more.

[April Grace @AprilGraceable]

I'd really love to start Booktubing weekly if I can, on days off maybe? Maybe I should upload on Mondays as that is my usual day off. I'd love to do one on my past submitting stories, since I'm back in the process of it again. And then, I'll update on how THIS time goes. Later.

[Tips from Jesse Hamm @Hamm_Tips]

People who disdain writing "just for children" fail to realize that those children will remember what they read, maybe for the rest of their lives. You're not writing for permanent children; you're getting an early start on adults.

*strange. Tried typing that too fast. I don't do it in the emails, promise! xD

[April Grace @AprilGraceable]

It feels so strang being out on submission again... #amquerying #YAFantasy #YAgreekmythologyretelling

Who knew that when Heidi died, she would discover she was the subject of a powerful prophecy, which would force her into the Underworld? A prophecy where she would destroy a murderous death god, and save hopeless souls? Not Heidi. #lgbt #ffromance #amquerying #YAFantasy

OTHER USES FOR BOOKS
• fill your house with them so it's not empty
• take photos of them to show to people when they ask if you have kids
• carry them around so you look intelligent
• pile them in front of your door so the extroverts can't get in

So I’m @ the bank waiting in line & the guy in front of me is spitting game to the teller, she’s laughing & he’s attractive so I can tell she’s digging it, he asks her if he can take her out and she says “with what? The whole $11.96 you got in your account?” SON, my chest 😭

Drafting a new book: The Early Chapters

Chapter One: this is going to be the best book everrrrrrr
Chapter Two: well maybe not the BEST book
Chapter Three: or even A book
Chapter Four: but I have a playlist already made & almost 10K words so I guess we're doing this

And suddenly you know: It's time to start something new and trust the magic of new beginnings.

WHAT WE WRITE: characters doing epic knife flips and storming the castle with complex heist plans
WHAT WE DO IN REAL LIFE: misspell our own name and say "thingie" because we can't remember words

[James Breakwell, Exploding Unicorn @XplodingUnicorn]

My wife and I are taking our first trip in years without the kids.

Someone asked if we'll miss them.

We thought about it for a second.

Then we laughed till we cried.
