Dubbed "America's Royal Couple," Daisy and Leo are the inaugural pairing of an innovative matchmaking service that guarantees love. It seems perfect until Daisy begins having vivid dreams about an unknown man and discovers that there are holes in her memories. #PitMad #WF #RS

@simple_rhythm69 Thank you so much!

[Shawn Burgess Thompson (she/her) @shawnwroteabook]

@ceciliaclyra Yes! I love to use it as an homage to my favorite authors/books. My MC reads The Time Traveler’s Wife on a bus in an early scene :)

@ElizMillerWood I got that sweet, sweet epidural. So yes, querying definitely hurts more 😆

[Shawn Burgess Thompson (she/her) @shawnwroteabook]

I had a dream that I was writing. I feel like I’ve unlocked a new level of consciousness as an author 😆

@LuliaClemens Great idea about the playlist!!

[Shawn Burgess Thompson (she/her) @shawnwroteabook]

What do you do when you lose interest in your WIP? Do you force yourself to write, or do you wait for inspiration to surface again?

@JitnaBhagani Great idea! Thank you.

@unknowablecats This is good insight! I’m trying to remind myself that it doesn’t mean I won’t finish the book eventually.

@kkyoung62 I am so bad at resisting the urge to edit!

[Shawn Burgess Thompson (she/her) @shawnwroteabook]

@wendy_dalrymple As crazy as this is, I’ve never written a short story before! I’m too long-winded 😆

[Shawn Burgess Thompson (she/her) @shawnwroteabook]

@AineLeiter @LizatOBS @BiancaM_author Yay!! I’m so excited too 😁

[Shawn Burgess Thompson (she/her) @shawnwroteabook]

That being said, I DID get one agent like and I’m very excited!!

I wish there was some feature that would make it so that any Tweet with a #PitMad hashtag between the hours of 8 am and 8 pm on certain days could NOT be liked by anyone unless they had the word "agent" or "publisher" in their profile. TWITTER, YA HEAR ME?

Murdered: a controversial enchanter and queen's advisor
Her snarky hybrid-owl familiar, turned detective
Her hapless apprentice, playing Watson
A royal court overflowing with suspects

Can they find her killer before he silences them?

When two teen outcasts use a virtual reality app, a glitch allows them to search their souls--literally. Together, they uncover hidden scars and battle their inner demons. They could find self-acceptance, happiness and maybe even love-if they make it out alive. #Pitmad #YA

A Soulmate Waits
Sobahn is a jackal shifter, Vivian is a fairy princess turned Vampire. She wants revenge, he wants his soulmate. A kidnapped fairy, two drunk gnomes, and a casino heist, are just a few of the bumps along the way of this revenge plot turned romance

Somewhere, in an alternate universe, a P.G. Wodehouse of the people has collaborated with a socially-conscious Dr. Seuss on their own version of "The Lord of the Rings." The result is "Fisbert Fringle and the Phoenix." #F #A #MG #WritingCommunity #PitMad

No one knows why they hear a baby cry at Hollow Bridge. What is known is if you leave a candy bar on the crossties, something will take a bite.12y/o Emma never believed the myth til a ghost came to her. Now she must solve a curse or lose something dear,forever. #PitMad #MG #H #MR

@MarchTwisdale You’re so sweet! I hope to get this out into the world in the not too distant future 😁
