PERCY JACKSON MEETS XO KITTY

Emilia lives to care for her brother, dreams of the day things will change. She never imagined that dream would take the form of a talking griffin, a school far below the waves, and an Irish boy who can read her like no one has before ✨️

I've plotted a whole novel for the upcoming nano2.0
This is the first time I've attempted #plotting rather than #pantsing and it has me so excited. I've made a mood board to mark the occasion, and plan on updating my journey as it happens 🥰

@talishammas Thank you 😊 fingers crossed I get accepted into the research program when the time comes!

[Madison Ainsworth @MadisonsGotAPen]

@talishammas Well that just makes me sad... and reconsider the research I'm doing toward a thesis discussing how reading increases adolescents ethics development

@PatriciaB_Ryan I've only had luck finding family to read, but it's always great when they text telling me what they liked and suggestions for improvement

I heard we're posting scenes from the book we're querying, and this is one of my favourites 😍

I love to post this every once in a while for any authors who may be newer to the querying trenches or authors who could just use a refresher! It's a free query crash course that I made filled with examples, descriptions, and resources 🩷 #writingcommunity

@akatepockett Hard not to be when every third song on tiktok is Your Idol 😂

@klhicks912 I've got one :) I did a double degree of Creative Writing, and Professional Writing and Publishing... I am now pursuing a Masters in Education (Secondary), make of that what you will 😅

@talishammas I've had an idea for a sapphic Thumbelina retelling for a while, Thumbelina's character goes searching for a witch to make her grow, ending in love and self acceptance ❤️ ❤️❤️

Does anyone have a more comfortable way to hold a baby while editing a manuscript? Because the carrier? Not it.

Readers please realise that when a character is speaking it doesn’t need to be grammatically correct. People speak like this! I sometimes speak like this because of my background. A book would be very stilted if we forced all characters to speak with perfect grammar.

@mohughes22 Congratulations!!!

[Madison Ainsworth @MadisonsGotAPen]

Opened my current WIP's document for the first time after months of having 0 energy to work on my own work yesterday... and today I fell over coming home from grocery shopping and now cant type due to a lack of skin on my knuckles... I think the universe is telling me something🤔

@WCRaustler Here me out; when I was in yr 5 we had a project on a local cemetery and I saw how little room was left, and I developed a minor fear of not having enough room to bury me. Since then I've learned that older graves just get removed so new fear. As a result, I want to be cremated😅

I just struggled through an hour long teething tantrum. I am emotionally, pregnancy, physically, and mentally exhausted.
If anyone needs me, I will continue to exist right as I am, where I am, because it's not like I can go have a nap, the toddler is still awake 🥱

[Madison Ainsworth @MadisonsGotAPen]

I adore getting a novel, short story or poem for editorial work, if you have one you are considering a second pair of eyes for, reach out!

“never italicise words to show emphasis! if you’re writing well your reader will know. you don’t need them!”
