I have a newsletter! The most delightful thing happens when you sign up -- you get download links to 3 short shorts (okay, okay, one is microfiction) in epub and mobi formats. AND you will be notified when I have an upcoming free ebook sale (hint: soon!) https://t.co/SQsMWHHxz5

@jrepplin The migraine is my brain’s way of telling me it was way too much effort 😂🤣 still have to write a lot more this month to finish the novels!

[R. A. Desilets @RADesilets]

50k words in three days. I just finished #NaNoWriMo #nanowrimo2022. I am going to take a long nap. 😴 more writing to come, just at a slower pace.

[R. A. Desilets @RADesilets]

@Ellowynbeimler Thanks 😊

[R. A. Desilets @RADesilets]

@MrsEJSinclair 2 20k days and a 10k day. I did have a migraine for like 18 hours after that though so 🫠

[R. A. Desilets @RADesilets]

Sometimes I want to answer the phone at my job and ask the person on the other end if it is too early to go to sleep. No context. Just panicked words, “IS IT TOO EARLY TO SLEEP?!”

[R. A. Desilets @RADesilets]

[R. A. Desilets @RADesilets]

@Noir_Kincade One page. And those ones are the hardest to write.

[R. A. Desilets @RADesilets]

@NicoleCLindsay Hahaha this is the perfect gif for this 🤣

[R. A. Desilets @RADesilets]

@kittensyay Have definitely referred to my cat as my son so … I can see why the internet would get confused. 😅

[R. A. Desilets @RADesilets]

@itsbixbyjones Only when two of those people actually retweeted me (as they had more followers than I did). And I was doing a free book promo, and "sold" 1.4k copies making it to the #1 spot on numerous free lists. But uh, it's disappeared since then, so ... not really steady.

[R. A. Desilets @RADesilets]

@brookenomicon Wow and my first story with dialogue was about getting a haircut. 🙈🙈 hahaha

[R. A. Desilets @RADesilets]

I want to give a special shout out to @jlzdrok for being so incredibly encouraging today. I love this writing community.

[R. A. Desilets @RADesilets]

I am attacked. 🙈

Being a writer means feeling overly confident that your story deserves to be published, while also feeling like your story is a trash fire and you have no idea what you're doing.

[R. A. Desilets @RADesilets]

@Noir_Kincade I have done this too while querying -- it happens from time to time. You're human. If your story is solid, it shouldn't matter. Good luck! (And there's plenty of other agents out there)
