@TheVictCommons I have a couple of questions about the general elections for Commons right at the start of Queen Victoria's reign. Is this the best way to contact you? Or do you have an email address you'd prefer I use?
I'd love to read a historical fic about the Indian soldiers who fought for the Brits in WWII (at a time when the struggle for freedom from UK rule was at its height). When I say I want to see a NEW side of WWII/histfic, this is what I mean (& written by an Indian author!) #MSWL
@ravenpuffie Maybe instead of them getting *you* stuff, you could donate it to a shelter? I totally get the feeling about wanting to celebrate with friends though.
🚨Job Opening: I'm looking for a P/T assistant!
The time has come for me to get some hands on help with admin, research, reading, web updates & data entry so I can do what I do best: agent!
Information here: https://t.co/8ia7TDQiZf
Deadline to Apply: April 23rd
Remote? Yes.
Trying hard not to feel hopeless right now, so wanna do what I can to help.
Asian/Asian diaspora writers who are querying or preparing to query and want eyes on their query letters, DM me & I'll give you a free query critique. We need our voices out there.
Are you sad and angry about the surge in anti-Asian violence? Wondering if there’s something anti-racist you can do? One idea: learn how pronounce Asian names! It doesn’t have to be perfect. Just try, and it will make a difference to your Asian friends and people you meet. (1/8)
My husband's in another room on a work call & he's telling his coworkers about my writing.
This is one of the many reasons why I love & married him. He supports me & my own ambitions. I know not everyone gets that kind of support, which makes it that much more special to me.
@joanpaq No. This was last fall & he gave up trying to fight FB to get it back after a couple of months. (Granted, he didn't get on often anyway.) While his old account is still live, it doesn't look like it has any new posts. It's still possible something might happen (good or bad).
I had lasik surgery last fall. Today I pulled out a pair of blue-light glasses and my kids are so confused about why I need to wear them if I already had my eyes fixed.
I am SO SO SO incredibly grateful for my sensitivity reader. I knew I was writing way outside of my experience and I tried so very hard to not write anything harmful or hurtful, but I'm human. *SHE* was willing to put herself at risk to my own ignorance and read through my draft.
Just like editors, sensitivity readers:
•have personal knowledge, skill, & experience
•offer helpful feedback, insights, & suggestions
•cannot compel change
•deserve to be paid for their time/energy
•give writers power to improve their work
