The most important thing you can do today is VOTE.

This is a bittersweet day for me, because two years ago today I sent my first query. Since then, I've:
📖 written three additional books
✉️ sent 121 queries
👎 received 97 rejections
😃 gotten 12 requests
No yeses yet, but I have to believe it'll happen someday.

My goal for NaNo is just to write every day! We'll see how it goes and how far behind I am Thanksgiving week, when I usually have to make up like 10k per day because I've been slacking. ✏️ 😀

[Sarah Annetje 👻 (50k/50k) @SarahAnnetje]

I keep saying this! I just want to know which of my ideas to work on. I can't wait to get an agent to bounce ideas off (but I'm also still grateful for my critique group).

[Katrin (she / her) @nordlichtinLA]

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could post a mock-query for your new project somewhere and agents / publishing pros could tell you whether the premise is worth pouring all your energy (and agonizing) into—BEFORE you spent years on making it the best you can? 😅

Today I received a phenomenal email with the subject line: "Taking a Cat Out on a Leash." It was from a student I'd never met, who heard from another teacher that I take my cat for walks outside and wanted tips for her own cat. I love that I'm the resident cat leash expert 🐈

[Sarah Annetje 👻 (50k/50k) @SarahAnnetje]

@KyraMNelson That's such a good analogy. My first rejection was a lot easier than my almost 100th (with book 4). I keep berating myself for "not being used to it by now," but it does get harder and harder to take because there are fewer opportunities left!

[Sarah Annetje 👻 (50k/50k) @SarahAnnetje]

@AletheaRLyons I'm excited to do it again! Haven't plotted much but I'm hoping to. Good luck!
