With my favorite little seeing #wicked! He said, "I'm that one side character that nobody remembers" when he decided to pose with the displays.

I’m a finalist in Westgate Resorts Hot Wheels Monster Trucks’ Story Contest. Help me rally votes: https://t.co/YiY8xK4W65

@josephbirdsong Since you're reliving my childhood with all of these Barbie games, I submit for your consideration...

[Crystal L. @CrystalLeigh90]

...and we can't wait to catch Georgie & Mandy's adventures, but it'll be a few years before he's introduced to Big Bang Theory (formally). Thanks @CBS, @YoungSheldon, and cast for creating something me and my little can enjoy together--and gosh, have we enjoyed it.

[Crystal L. @CrystalLeigh90]

My son and I didn't start watching @YoungSheldon until this past year, when somebody told him he reminded them of Sheldon (his love of bow ties and the fact that he's a huge nerd), and now he wants to watch it daily. He'll still be rockin' his bow ties....

@CarolynKWrites ....and maybe have some emotional support tacos at the ready. 🌮

[Crystal L. @CrystalLeigh90]

@CarolynKWrites I'm NOT in the querying process, but as an outside observer...be kind to yourself. Remember that it's called a process for a reason, rejections are a "badge of honor" that you can one day hopefully look back & laugh at, and this is an opportunity for growth!

[Crystal L. @CrystalLeigh90]

@josephbirdsong They need to give this to you early so you can do a Cluesday Tuesday on the day that it drops.

@michaelcanfield It never opened. Keep an eye out on the open submission page for updates about the new dates:

Another Berkley update for the #WritingCommunity and #berkleyopensubmissions:

[Crystal L. @CrystalLeigh90]

@SHPooleWrites You're welcome! Keep an eye out on the Open Submission page for updates if you can. Who knows if they'll be like "oh. Let's try on Wednesday!" or if it's just "We are now accepting open submissions as of 10am."

[Crystal L. @CrystalLeigh90]

For those of you trying to get into #berkleyopensubmissions, the open submission page has been updated to say to contact Query Manager if you cannot get to the form. When you hit the "contact" link provided, it gives you this:

[Crystal L. @CrystalLeigh90]

@xoxoLibro Sure thing! It looks like Berkley updated their Open Submission page to say if there's problems with the form to contact Query Manager. I'd keep an eye out there for future updates about rescheduling if they're planning on doing so.

[Crystal L. @CrystalLeigh90]

@JKBudziak Of course! :-) I'll keep checking their submission page periodically to see if they provide updates on the rescheduling.

So I just took a shelved project that I only had a chapter or two of and plugged it in here...only to find that it reads like a NEIL GAIMAN?! I am sincerely flattered. And feeling like I should probably finish that particular story.

[Crystal L. @CrystalLeigh90]

@BrynDonovan @BerkleyPub @BerkleyRomance Ahhh! I've got two open WIPs that I haven't been able to finish due to work/life. They're half-done and the other half is mapped out....but oof. There's no way they're going to be finished in a WEEK. :(

[Crystal L. @CrystalLeigh90]

@bethcarter007 It's giving very "Beauty and the Beast" vibes.

[Crystal L. @CrystalLeigh90]

@bethcarter007 I'm overthinking the heck out of this, but I also used to do bridal sales. The sunflower and orange could be really cute--darker shades would be very autumn, lighter, very spring. I wouldn't do a pink/magenta. A dark blue/navy would be nice!
