@GlenAdamsWriter That’s what she said. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Query rejection today (10 mos after submission) that wasn't a form letter. Grateful to the agent for providing feedback! Surprised that social justice in YA isn't desired. #amquerying #amwriting #socialjustice #amrejected #writerscommunity #writersoftwitter #writers #writing

Thank you for always being my friend, Bob. I love you. ❤️

I’m seeing a lot of New York Yankees hate on my timeline today.

I’m just here to remind everyone not to stop.

@jessbstrait I went from 140k to 89k. It was painful, but my MS improved SO MUCH for it. I did a search for words I realized I overused (just, up, down, etc.) and also had to cut entire scenes that I loved but that just weren't necessary. Good luck!

@GlenAdamsWriter It's a Yiddish word that's been adopted by English speakers. Pronounced like you spelled it, but spelled spiel. :)

@LeighHereNow Political organizer/campaign manager. I also homeschool my kids. Autumns of even-numbered years (like rn) I work 10-12 hour days 7 days per week and don't get any writing done at all. I miss it so much I ache. Looking forward to December!

@GlenAdamsWriter I think 'striding' has strong implications - I can see what they're doing and don't think their speed is in question. :)

@RandolphWrites I write mostly WF and YA, so political elements in both. It’s not the main theme of what I write, but often plays a role. What about you?

[Lili Sandler @ljsandlerwrites]

What do you consider "political fiction"? Like, how political makes it political? I want to respect agent #MSWL but I'm not sure about that designation.

I know cell phones can do so much but I think my favorite feature is backspace when dialing a phone number.
Remember how we used to have to hang up and start all over? No more. Chills.

@erinentrada The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, for sure!

@keely_brice I couldn't even get it to load the last few days! Glad it wasn't just me!

@itsjeanettechoe We've started flying an American flag again after years not doing it. But we didn't start again until we purchased an Equality flag, and always fly them both, always in accordance with the flag code.

[Lili Sandler @ljsandlerwrites]

@jessicarichter I've totally done that! I always laugh at myself but also feel kinda proud, like Hey last week me, you were clever with the words!

[Lili Sandler @ljsandlerwrites]

@Nik_Nakk26 Right?? It feels like the universe saying “Hmmmm, maybe this query isn’t quite ready for submission… maybe you should agonize over it for another several months…” gah!!

[Lili Sandler @ljsandlerwrites]

Holding my breath, pressing that 'submit query' button and then panicking when it asks me to confirm my email address. I didn't need that additional jolt of adrenaline, tyvm.
