@Nattykbrown Hey, this must mean the story is good!

[Austin @AustinJ_P_]

@DarranSF This is a smart idea! I used to be a panster, but now I’m a plotter. I’ll have to become a synopsis & query writer before hand as well.

@sanchez_m_m I haven’t heard of those writers, so I’ll have to look them up!
Here’s a few that come to mind: Daphne du Maurier, Virginia Woolf, F. Scott Fitzgerald

I’m hearing that YA is an oversaturated market. Which is no good because my book is YA 😡

@rollins_green Right on! Getting the first draft done is a great feeling!

[Austin @AustinJ_P_]

@SamaBLind This is a good problem to have. Congrats!

[Austin @AustinJ_P_]

@KT_Carlisle Now this is good marketing.

Once you become a bestselling writer, will you…

A: Go on a book tour and meet your loving fans?

B: Change your name, hide in a mansion, and never go out into the public again?

[Austin @AustinJ_P_]

@AuthorEmy Definitely sell a million copies!

[Austin @AustinJ_P_]

@DarranSF Great advice!

[Austin @AustinJ_P_]

@NicolaKwrites 100% how I feel 😂

[Austin @AustinJ_P_]

@By_EmilyRae Finished a book AND filmed this?? Nice work👍

@rrreadsbooks I’ve heard it used in the context of cozy mysteries - Makes me think of Agatha Christie books - not too deep, easy to read, but does make you think and leaves you feeling satisfied.

Now that I’m writing again, I can only read a few pages of a book before I set it aside and think, “well, that was interesting, but time to write my own story now.

[Austin @AustinJ_P_]

@LFrostWrites I can’t believe this!! Completely unhinged behavior!!!! 😤😂

[Austin @AustinJ_P_]

@klhicks912 That’s actually really good! I tried once a day for awhile but got burned out lol.

[Austin @AustinJ_P_]

@cwrose813 Reaching “the end” is such an amazing accomplishment! So cool!!! Wishing you the best as you dive into editing.

[Austin @AustinJ_P_]

@demimschwartz Best of luck on the next rounds of querying!

[Austin @AustinJ_P_]

@TheMatthewMaine I agree - it feels wrong. But at the same time, some writers hire other people to write query letters, which is kind of the same thing.

[Austin @AustinJ_P_]

Is it ok to use AI to write a query letter? Not the book, but the query letter?
