300 words isn't bad for a Sunday morning #amwriting #nanowrimo

Question for the #WritingCommunity - when do you start querying? When the manuscript is finished? After a revision or two? How do you know if your #WIP is "ready?"

@AuthorJFuller Got me

[Ed Maciorowski @beastmastermac]

When you typo a word so badly even autocorrect doesn't know what to do with it. Got google docs like 🤷‍♂️

[Ed Maciorowski @beastmastermac]

I have a Masters in English literature, I've written a couple of books. Nothing fancy, never been published or anything, but all that to say I've spent a lot of time studying words and how they go together. Which makes it crushing when you don't have the right words to help

[Ed Maciorowski @beastmastermac]

@One_Hell_Bunny Yaaaas congratulations!

[Ed Maciorowski @beastmastermac]

@PauleneTurner I'm not sure how but I've seemed to find the nexus of X bots. Been getting a couple "follows" a day from profiles with no posts! I wouldn't mind so much but I'm pretty sure they unfollow shortly after

[Ed Maciorowski @beastmastermac]

@PauleneTurner Did they give you any sort of explanation? Or is it literally just "oh yeah I guess we did. Sucks"

[Ed Maciorowski @beastmastermac]

@katieemorann Hello from the reason I'm currently writing from my basement instead of my desk

[Ed Maciorowski @beastmastermac]

@SaffronAsteria Awesome idea for a series!

@klhicks912 Michigan's Upper Peninsula, because it's one of the spots in North America that would be largely untouched by a nuclear apocalypse

[Ed Maciorowski @beastmastermac]

Does anyone in the #WritingCommunity do writing exercises or practice regularly outside of just working on your WIP? What's your favorite?

[Ed Maciorowski @beastmastermac]

@MaroftheBooks Encyclopedias and Doris Kinderly reference books more than thesauruses (thesauri?)

Though I did make more than one attempt to read the dictionary

[Ed Maciorowski @beastmastermac]

@author_MDane Congratulations! And Sake, definitely 🍶🍶🍶

The "dream" shouldn't be about what you'd be content with, it should be what excites you, about what gets you up in the morning

"Honor is dead... but I'll see what I can do"

One of the coldest lines in fiction

[Ed Maciorowski @beastmastermac]

@PauleneTurner I know timing can make a big difference on engagement, and who knows why people respond to different things. The algorithm is ever-changing!

[Ed Maciorowski @beastmastermac]

@PauleneTurner I know the conversion is usually low, but I've seen people get it higher using pre-existing email lists. You don't have to pay or offer a rebate. If you provide enough value to your audience a lot of people will leave you a review just because you asked.

@StephDRondeau I am somewhere in between on both and I am shook on this revelation
