😭 Rejection letter received. Although I’ve got to say hats off to them, they’ve given me some great feedback. Most definitely food for thought 🤔 I am rather impressed they took the time to help me with their feedback #WritingCommunity #writerslife #publishing
Just sent a submission off to another publisher 😱 fingers crossed for this one 🤞🏻
Now begins the 6 week waiting game and endless refreshing of emails 😂
How do others in the #WritingCommunity handle their nerves during the dreaded waiting game?
I have a bad habit lately of instantly liking posts that are 1 away from a milestone number. If the post has 99 or 149 likes It’s an impulse to click ‘like’ to get it to a nice round number.
Slightly dangerous because I’m liking things without entirely reading them 😂
#WritingCommunity Do you find yourself putting obstacles in your way, little hurdles you need to jump before you get to the next thing you want to do?
I’ve convinced myself it’s logical to try and get my 1st book published before I write anything else, but I miss writing 😢
Anyone in the #WritingCommunity looking for writing competitions, @newwritingsouth are looking for 10 line poems and 10 word short stories.
Yes you read that right 10 WORD stories. Sound easy? Great practice for honing your writing skills to just the essentials 👍🏻
Shoreham Wordfest is launching a competition for 10 line poems and 10 word (yes 10 word!) short stories to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
With judges John McCullough and Catherine Smith.
Deadline: 1 August 2020
Find out more and submit: shorehamwordfest.com/events/…
Ooooh worth a read, What a great blog I wonder who wrote it 🤔 (shameless self promotion 😂)

Finding a literary agent that suits you and your #WIP isn't easy. It takes hard work and perseverance. But that doesn't mean there aren't tried and true methods to help you along the way.

Whatever you are doing this weekend I hope it makes you smile.
Another rejection email for me this week 😞 this time from a competition rather than an agent.
Head held high though because you miss 100% of the chances you don’t take.

It’s Friday! This week I have been an extra on a film set (very exciting and also boring 😂) and I have submitted my writing off to 2 competitions! What has everyone else done this week? #WritingCommunity #FridayMotivation #writerslife
Good morning Twitter! I’ve woken up this morning to see I have over 14k followers! Got to say I’m so pleased to get away from the number 13, it’s been a bit of a curse on my writing 😂 #WritingCommunity #amwriting #FridayFeeling #FridayVibes
Right so I have decided that I’m ready to start querying again! Can anyone in the #WritingCommunity recommend any publishers or agencies I should consider?
Google can only get me so far, but recommendations aren’t worth their weight in gold. Thanking you #MondayMotivation
Ah I love the #WritingCommunity I’ve been introduced to 2 phrases that have absolutely made my weekend.
‘Cabbotage’ 🤷🏻♀️ I can only assume sabotage with a cabbage maybe?
&
‘I’m not lazy I’m in Energy Saving Mode’
😂 That’s my lazy weekend totally justified
#FridayVibes
So yesterday (Thursday) I heard the phrase ‘happy Friday Eve’ & I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it 😂
Great if it motivates people to get through their work week, but the pessimist in me is thinking, just call it as it is, it’s Thursday!
