Elisabeth Is Querying

Writing historical fiction, romantic suspense, and magical realism. Also hoarding notebooks.

One of my top contenders is from the @caedmonscall song “The Emptiest Day”.

And life
Is only perceived through chemicals and emotions
But love
Love is the island that overgrows the oceans.

Gets me every time.

So, since I #amrevising, I’m thinking about those lines that get it JUST RIGHT. #writersoftwitter, what lines from books/movies/music do you wish you’d written?

Buy another notebook and an orange pen and eat your body weight in gelato. And I don’t know if it’s the sunlight, or the colors, or the sugar but I do know this— something will come to you. #amwriting #amquerying #WriterAdvice

Still haven’t found anywhere better than @ngadc to collect ideas and hear myself think. Go see the light change over the cathedral at Rouen, and feel the breeze in Van Gogh’s green wheat fields. See a rainbow from 1857 over Church’s Niagara Falls.

So there’s still plenty of editing to do, and titles to find, and questions to answer. But for today, I’m going to take @NathanBransford ‘s advice and be grateful for all of it.#amwriting #amquerying

The great thing about being ten pages from the end of a first draft is that from here, you can see every plot hole and problem with glorious clarity.
Yay.
Next up: revisions.

Happy New Year, writing comrades. May this be your year. #Happy2024 #amwriting #amquerying

Ring out the old, ring in the new
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
-Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Trying to write with Covid brain fog is wild. I’m solving plot problems, losing a box of grape popsicles, and forgetting my own native language over here. #WritingCommmunity

Life is sometimes hard. Things go wrong, in life and in love…and in all the other ways that life can go wrong. And when things get tough, this is what you should do…Make good art. I’m serious. -Neil Gaiman “Art Matters”#amwriting #writinglife

For all the family and friends of the #WritingCommmunity out there: If the book wasn’t published last week, it’s probably not published this week either. Keep checking on us though!❤️#amquerying

A little background music for everyone in the query trenches with me on this beautiful Thursday. Carry on, friends. #amquerying https://t.co/AN0L0eFI7V

Psyched to see novellas getting the attention they deserve! Not least because I might have a few of them written, hanging out on my computer…😉#amwriting #amquerying https://t.co/vJ28OqjLYT
