Any ARCs in the house? Looking for some wonderful humans to read my debut queer adult thriller and share their thoughts on launch day in a few weeks, but I have no funds with which to pay them! Where might one find such mythical philanthropic creatures? #selfpublishing #writingcommunity #arcreaders
First draft of my cover! I need to work on making the can less vector-looking and matching the lighting but I’m getting there! Feedback? #writingcommunity #selfpublishing
This is one of my favorite parts too! #writingcommunity #selfpublishing
I don’t have “insect” exactly but I do have a bug reference! 😅 #writingcommunity
Where is everyone getting beta readers these days? I have a 73k-word thriller I'd love to get feedback on. #writingcommunity #selfpublishing
Welp, this took several more attempts at a rewrite, but here are the new opening lines from SEEKING IN THE DARKNESS! #amwriting #writingcommunity #selfpublishing
I'm trying to balance the concept of adding the tension/hook and 'something normal in the MC's life' into my opening lines of Ch 1. It's not quite there yet, but I feel like I'm getting closer. Thoughts, critiques, suggestions? #amwriting #writingcommunity #selfpublishing
I was playing with cover designs last night and my tween son got really invested in it. He really wants me to use his design. Think anyone will buy a book with this as the cover of an adult psychology thriller? 😅 #writingcommunity #selfpublishing
Admittedly self-publishing without a big stamp of approval from someone important is a bit nerve wrecking. I have to remind myself of the positive praise I've gotten from agents I've queried so I don't back out of this. So, welcome to my cringe self-pump post. 💪 #writingcommunity #selfpublishing
Fingers crossed for at least some constructive feedback on this query!!! I won't get my hopes up for a full, but I won't be mad if it happens. #amquerying #writingcommunity
I'm surprised at the interest level of my Goodreads account based on click rates in my Linktree. #askagents what other info are you looking for from your querying writers? #writingcommunity
I decided to review the feedback from my past queries for SITD. Anything that wasn't a form reply was actually quite helpful. I've already integrated the improvements suggested, so today I decided to focus on the positive feedback to keep me motivated as I #amquerying. #writingcommunity

#LateNightWrite I come from a long line of story tellers, so <6 yo seems the wisest answer here. But my first moment of pride in writing was high school English class reading my description of the stench of meat my family acquired from a local farm. The reactions were priceless. #writingcommunity
