10 years ago I was still stuck in the query trenches (lost & confused). Here’s a few things I’ve learned about writing/publishing in the past decade 🧵
1. Resilience. Rejection is part of the job. It gets easier. It’s not that your work isn’t good it’s that it isn’t a good fit.
35. You don’t have to write every day. You don’t have to write what you know. You don’t have to write 70-90k words. There are no rules.
36. Editors are wise. Listen to them.
37. Copy-editors are maniacs. Joke! They’re great. They make work readable & help fix your timelines.
Start of a new week, start of a new chapter. The Society for Editors and Proofreaders is now chartered, making me a professional member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading. Thank you @The_CIEP for your support and hard work. The recognition is well-deserved
Still doing business with my European friends whatever happens: I just applied for e-Residency of Estonia to start doing business without borders. To join me use this link: https://t.co/XuNTcSI0jf #loveestonia#brexitschmexit
