@ClearCopyWorks Thank ya! And congrats on finding your niche passion:-)

[Leslie Parisi @ChatNoirParisi]

@ClearCopyWorks Very true! I’m gonna niche. And already looking at rehauling my messaging on LinkedIn and joining groups in that industry (wine, lol). And if you enjoy a specific subject/style, it’s just gonna make your projects more enjoyable:-)

Me: “I’m gonna buy some light-hearted books. Maybe some chic lit or a feel-good self-help guide!” What I actually buy instead. #amwriting #amreading #books #book #authors #HorrorCommunity #WritingCommunity #writers #writer

@antoinewilson The incredible author Ted Chiang was my workshop leader. He actually read and gave me lots of feedback on my first chaper. Enough said

@Sblahov @SaraAdio It’s sad that employers use this as a barometer against applicants. I’m coming up on my first full year unemployed with a resume that was once very stable. I am retraining and hungry to jump in. I imagine employers are missing out on those “gap” people who are hungry to work

Pitch practicing with my WIP, and I've had two agents say they really dig my comp titles!

Mine? "Dante's Inferno meets The Love Boat"

I've broken rules on comp titles, but two agents thus far like it, so fuck it. I'm using it.
