Today I can finally say that I’m a published author!! Like what?! Thanks @blankspacesmag for believing in my short story & making my childhood dream come true #writing #WritingCommunity #writer #WIP #writerslift #author #AuthorsOfTwitter

[Jessica Golding (she/they) is querying @JGoldingwrites]

Anybody else writing their first draft between life? I started a chapter a week ago, and even with my outline, I lost the train of where I was going. Hoping staring out the window helps it come to me🙈 #writing #writer #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amwritingfiction #writerslift

Been mia on here, but I’m almost 20k words into a new #wip for something dystopian that my brain conjured up and couldn’t let go. And it’s first person pov, which I’m super uncomfortable with, so let’s see where/how this goes #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #writerslift

@arianne_nicks Thank you! Love the minions, made me smile ☺️

Haven't felt like writing in over a year, but today the seeds of a new novel started prickling the back of my brain. I'm taking this as a much needed break from the depressing slog of querying #WIP #writingcommunity #writing #amquerying #writer

[Jessica Golding (she/they) is querying @JGoldingwrites]

@SwatiTheGeek I’m in the same boat! Had to take a step back from querying because it was getting me so down

[Jessica Golding (she/they) is querying @JGoldingwrites]

Forcing myself to send another round of queries. Must remember I only need 1 yes (pleaseee let that yes be somewhere near around the corner) #writingcommunity #writing #writer #amquerying #WIP

[Jessica Golding (she/they) is querying @JGoldingwrites]

When you see the proof of your short story that's being published next month and realize the one year wait to see your work in print is almost over 🤯 #writingcommunity #writing #writer #WIP #amquerying

Does anybody else repeatedly tweak their query letter? It feels like editing my manuscript all over again. And I would really rather do without that rollercoaster ride #writingcommmunity #writing #writer #amquerying

[Jessica Golding (she/they) is querying @JGoldingwrites]

Last night ended with two rejection letters but at least I moved into my new home. You win some, you lose some 🤷🏼‍♀️ #writingcommmunity #writers #writing #amquerying #WIP #writerslift

Anybody else jump when they see a new notification in their email only for it to be some clothing store's spam rather than a response from a lit agent? Need to find a hobby besides checking my emails. Suggestions welcome! #writingcommunity #writer #writing #amquerying

[Jessica Golding (she/they) is querying @JGoldingwrites]

@fryerworks this is amazing and so accurate to how I'm feeling right now in the querying trenches! #writingcommunity #writing #amquerying #writer

[Christopher Fryer @fryerworks]

Agent: A well crafted manuscript is like a perfectly layered lasagna.
Me: Do you accept spaghetti?

[Jessica Golding (she/they) is querying @JGoldingwrites]

@tgingrichauthor I'm right there with you!

[Jessica Golding (she/they) is querying @JGoldingwrites]

You know how I said I wasn't going to #query any more lit agents until I heard back from the others? I lied🙈 apparently I can't help myself #WritingCommunity #writing #amquering #writerslift #sendgoodvibes

I might not be early enough for the #5amwritingclub , but I have my tea and bagel at the ready, my mind brimming with creative possibilities #writingcommunity #writing #writerslift #amwriting #amquerying

[Jessica Golding (she/they) is querying @JGoldingwrites]

@StorytellerGRL I love reading short chapters though the ones I wrote are more medium length... But with natural stops, which is helpful for readers like moi

[Jessica Golding (she/they) is querying @JGoldingwrites]

@MeretheWalther It's a slog, but it normally took me about 3 hours to edit a chapter... And I ended up doing multiple rounds

When you wake up in a panic at 3am, revamp your query letter and send it off on limited amounts of sleep. Promising myself I won’t send anymore until I get responses from the ones already out ✨channeling patience✨ #WritingCommunity #writing #writer #amquerying #WIP #writerslift
