@smolcatwrites Would you be down for a swap? I'm in a similar spot and looking for someone to read the first 100 pages of mine - I realize that's an uneven trade and I can read something else of yours to make up for it.

As always in times of crisis, I retreat to a stack of research books #WritingCommunity #HistoricalFiction

@AustinFriars_ Also historical fiction writer here! I'm focused on 20thc which is pretty far away, but I'm with you on the queer themes. DM me if you'd like to connect - twitter keeps giving me grief about posting

Book 3 in the PI Evander Mills series just launched and I'm so excited. If you are looking for LGBTQ mystery novels this is the series for you. #Literature

@wolk_bruce I believe those are bots of some sort, not actual sex workers. I get 'em too.

[abjwriter @abjwriter]

@AustinFriars_ Not a new follower but I'd read the heck out of that!

[abjwriter @abjwriter]

I'm working on my revise & resubmit request, and I just finished my first new draft of the first 100 pages - looking for some specific feedback if anyone's down.

[abjwriter @abjwriter]

@ChekistMonitor @SocIntelHist I can't wait!

[abjwriter @abjwriter]

I keep running into twitter saying that I have "reached my daily limit for this action" when the only other thing I did that day was report bots following me. Is it possible that I'm being penalized for reporting bots? Guess I'll stop and see if that helps.

@paulphillips44 Thanks for the tip! I joined - it's always hard for my to find other spy fiction writers. A lot of my peers write SFF

I keep being told I "have reached my daily limit for this action" when I'm trying to post or reply, and like, it could not possibly be more than my second post or reply of the day. And it wants my phone# to post more but I simply will not. Why would I trust this website with my #

@rachelkitch Do you have advice on how to (figure out how to) implement vague feedback? e.g. if an agent says "I want more of X" - how do you figure out where you can put more X?

Every now and then I need to remind myself that histfic is just as much *fiction* as *historical*. It's truly NOT an honours dissertation. I truly AM allowed to fudge a fact or two to make the plot more dramatic. Most readers wouldn't know it's sus unless I told them anyway.
