#AmQuerying Canadian #nerdmance novel. Newfoundlander. Purveyor of nonsense. Decent pianist. Bad guitarist. Terrible oboist (presumably).

Have you ever screwed up so often that your boss is just waiting for one more mistake?
Do you have to rehearse all your interactions in advance?
Did everything change at the last minute, forcing you to quickly overprepare? #moodpitch #A #WF #CR #FP #ND

"You didn't wear the sweater," I say with a pout.
He takes me into his arms with a kiss. "You said it makes you hot."
"Yes. I did."
Our narrowed eyes illuminate the miscommunication. Finally he breaks the silence.
"That's weird."
Curse this ambiguous language. #FridayKiss

Has anyone in Canada been able to watch the Weird Al movie without OWNING a Roku device? I've downloaded the app, which promises I can watch without a device, and those promises have turned out to be empty.

Note: I'm trying to stream legally.

My bookshelf is more of a junk drawer at this point. Bookstagram would have no time for me.

I need romance Twitter.

I won't make it on bookstagram.

Look, I'm staying here if for no other reason than to eventually post a photo of me covered head to toe in the scarf I unwisely swore to keep knitting until I sign with an agent.

My 8yo is critiquing a short story I wrote as a child, and I'm pretty sure no beta can ever hurt me after this. She's brutal.

"Wonder when I lost connection?"He taps his phone.
"Maybe when we left the trail,"I say as rain hits my hand.
"How long ago was that?"
Our eyes meet, and a horrible realization dawns.
"I was following you,"I say."And you were following..."
He hangs his head."A moose." #FridayKiss

@MaiaStrong01 Ooh, that sounds painful!! Were they important to the plot or did the whole story just have to be time shifted and they were part of that?

If this site dies it means I have to change a reference to live-tweeting something in my book, and honestly I'm already dreading that editing session in advance because of the inevitable three months of research to name a fictional company to make one joke.

@Dewiwrites I borrowed a library book because a friend recommended the author. Didn't look at the cover image (e-book), didn't read the back blurb, was totally surprised in the best ways. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.

@belindamgrant When we brand #nerdmance, we'll make charts, plotting all our favourite characters in the Venn diagram.

@ChristieCurry25 Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun putting the graphic together.

[Susan @storiesbysusan]

I am once again horrified by how pasting 10 pages of a novel into an email makes it look 10 times shorter than it should be. #amquerying

[Susan @storiesbysusan]

@ChristieCurry25 Yeah, but to be fair, pobbilities are really weird. It's normal for the pulse to quicke.

[Susan @storiesbysusan]

@slow_laurus @LauraGalanWells It means everything's pretty error-free, but at what cost?

[Susan @storiesbysusan]

I'm mentally designing a lot of pre-order swag for someone who doesn't even have an agent yet.

But if I can brag for a second? It's going to be an awesome pre-order set. Trust me.

[Susan @storiesbysusan]

@LauraGalanWells Surely there's a middle ground somewhere...😅

@KAKennedyBooks The musician's curse. Having to prep the music long before it's seasonally appropriate to perform it!

@erlking Eb minor should be illegal.
