Sometimes I randomly think about when my 4yo told me salamis come after earthcrashes (she meant tsunamis after earth quakes). I just imaging giant salamis rolling around and crack up. #momlife #kids #WritingCommunity

I got my second partial request on my current manuscript. Fingers crossed! #amquerying #WritingCommunity #somedaymyagentwillcome

Has anyone else ever queried two manuscripts at once? It can be kind of confusing to change gears in my brain. #WritingCommunity #amquerying

My signed volumes of @robinhobb's first three volumes from Dark Horse Comics arrived. They're beautiful! But also, I would have been thrilled with a blank napkin signed by her, so there's that. XD #WritingCommunity #autograph

On a scale from "I'm out of pain meds for my chronic pain" to "my cat peed all over me", how is your day going? >_> #writingcommunity #CatsOfTwitter

Sent out a bunch of queries today. Got my first rejection-within-less-than-1-hour in a while. XD Whoooo fun times. XD #amquerying #WritingCommunity

Today, my phone fixed my attempt at a thank you to FRANK YOU and I think that might be my new favorite way to thank people. Franks, everyone. #gratitude

I just pulled a face mask from a random set, and it says it's vegetable placenta. I think this is going to be my new favorite insult. How dare you cut me off, you vegetable placenta! #random #showerthoughts

In reading news, I'm mad at @robinhobb bc I have tons of new audiobooks to listen to, but instead I got stuck in a re-listen to all her Fitz and the Fool trilogies. I can't just read or listen to ONE book. Has to be allll. Love those books to pieces. ._. #books #readingcommunity

I've sent ten queries for my new manuscript! It's so exciting to be back in this stage. Also, instead of working more on my old manuscript, I'm writing something ELSE new, ugh. XD #writingcommunity

Have you ever re-submitted to an agent who passed on a full after offering some critique? They didn't invite me to resubmit after revisions (I think that's called an R&R). Thinking about retrying with them after I make some fixes. #amquerying #WritingCommunity

I started querying my new manuscript! Four queries sent, whoo. I love the initial excitement. =3 #amquerying #WritingCommunity

I just sent a business check and the only stamp I had was scooby-doo. Very professional, here. XD #wfh

My fave part of anything with a love story is the first time the two characters get togetherrrr. Wish I could just send THAT to agents as part of my pitch. XD "Here are ten pages from the middle of my manuscript with no context!" =p #amquerying #WritingCommunity

My next conundrum as I prep this dual timeline story is those key first pages. How to engage an agent? A glimpse of the good ol' days for my characters? Or the first scene of present time, when they see each other after 5 years and act all awkward? #amquerying #WritingCommunity

Arrrgh. I'm so eager to start querying, but I know I need to do one more read-through/edit of the manuscript, siiiigh. #amquerying #WritingCommunity

After 1+ year of querying, gonna take a break from the manuscript of my heart. Lil sad about it. :( Hopefully I can figure out some needed revisions, then get back to it someday. From now, focusing on the almost-ready-to-query new manuscript. #amwriting #sad #writingcommmunity

I've been absent from Twitter a lot, and now that I'm posting questions and comments on my new #WIP, I'm reminded how awesome the #WritingCommunity is! Thank you all for engaging with me, and I'll try to do the same. <3

ALSO. I know, I'm suddenly posting more. Does anyone want to exchange query materials for a critique?? #amquerying #WritingCommunity
