Don't wait to be happy! You don't need an agent to be happy. You don't need to be published. You don't need to be a bestseller.

Be happy now.

Remember that time I thought the next chapter I had to revise was good? Well, upon closer inspection, it was, in fact, not good.

You guys ever read one book from an author and then immediately feel the need to add all their other books to your wishlist?

[Sahar Rahimi @Dawnfulness]

@astarte73 Good idea! Thanks!! 😊😊

#AmQuerying writers, #AmWriting folks, #WritingCommnity help!

When you send your first 5 pages to an agent is that:

[Sahar Rahimi @Dawnfulness]

@astarte73 Yes, I meant the first 5 pages of the first chapter, but I couldn't fit it in the 25 character limit of the poll 😆 My 5-page cutoff is in the middle of dialogue... But I guess if most first chapters are longer than 5 pages, I don't need to stress 😊 thanks!!

[Sahar Rahimi @Dawnfulness]

I've queried projects both ways, but now, with my third, I'm overthinking my first chapter length.

What sacrifices have you made to make time or space in your life to write?

@eldris It's pretty awesome you're able to share that with her!! I've got a couple of writers I meet up with in person on the regular and I LOVE it 😍😍 It took a while to find them, but so grateful I did!!

[Sahar Rahimi @Dawnfulness]

I just wanna write and talk about writing and eat, sleep, and travel.

Is that too much to ask??

@JLew100 I think Cheryl Klein's The Magic Words is amazing!! Highly recommend for all stages of the process.

The hardest part of writing is...

[Sahar Rahimi @Dawnfulness]

So yeah... I think I'm a planner now.

Honestly, doesn't feel like an option...

Do any of you guys wonder what it would be like to not be a writer?

Like… to not be tortured day & night striving to be better & constantly facing rejection & never being satisfied & having our very souls be miserable, but also loving every moment at the same time? 📚😵‍💫📖🫠

@hellohollyjames OMG Holly!!! I remember when you were in the query trenches, and NOW LOOK AT YOU!!! So, so thrilled for you!! You've earned every bit of this amazing success! Well done!! ❤❤

[Sahar Rahimi @Dawnfulness]

@Niyrak Thanks!! I usually take off a week between drafts to make sure the rest of my life doesn't fall apart! It's a time of rest, socialization and deep cleaning--all things I might neglect mid-draft 😆
