When Jessie starts seeing fairies in her hometown, she’s sure she's inherited her mom's mental health issues. But her plan to ignore them and flee west is complicated by her hot childhood friend and a magical—maybe imaginary—woman's offer to escape into the fae. #MoodPitch #A #F

I got a full rejection and a query rejection today, but on the bright side I got to meet some giant trees at work. So overall, could've been worse.

I always forget how vulnerable it feels to start #amquerying a project. You spend months or years pouring time, energy, & emotion into a book you love, then send it out for dozens of professionals to reject. Anyway, here's hoping a little forest magic comes through this time.

How about some native wildflowers to brighten up the timeline?

I'm trying to give myself a bit of a break, so I didn't have any goals set. I did finish a revision following some great beta reader feedback and chopped #ForestWIP back down to under 100k words, so I'm feeling pretty good about the month. #ASFChat

Idk if it's a tradition, but my characters are definitely always hyped for spring prescribed fire season to start! #ASFChat

Ooh I love this question! #ForestWIP is bloodroot and trout lily, bluebells and trillium and larkspur. Everything lovely and fleeting and magical in the springtime forest. #ASFChat

I'm asking those who love the outdoors to post a picture. A picture that YOU took. Just a pic. No description. The goal is to regain peace without negativity. Please copy the text, put a picture on YOUR page, and let's look at these beautiful pictures. Here's mine:

Really torn between going back to working on an icy second-world fantasy or a ridiculous rom-com because my brain apparently has no in-between right now.

Great thread! When you get feedback, take a breath, let it sink in, then apply it. If you have good CPs, you'll be glad you did 99% of the time.
I think this is the first piece of writing advice I've posted (hello, imposter syndrome!). I don't claim to be an expert, so take this with a grain of salt. But IMO, maybe THE most important skill you can develop to "level up” your writing is... 🧵

I think the last thing I researched was the severity of various arson charges. I'm probably on a list somewhere now. #ASFchat
#ASFchat - Q6: What's the last thing you researched for your current project? And how's it going?

Probably sci-fi! I've been meaning to read more because I usually really enjoy it, but it never makes it to the top of my TBR list for some reason. #ASFchat
#ASFchat - Q5: What genre is the one you read the least in? Not the one you don't read at all, mind you, but the one you read the least?

#ASFchat Q3: Sweat, absolutely. Though as a forester she does plenty of both.
#ASFchat - Q3: Would your character rather freeze or sweat?

#ASFchat Q2: I (26F) was on a date with my shockingly attractive childhood best friend (26M) when a weirdly familiar, absolutely gorgeous interloper (??F) tried to steal me away. I kind of want to let her, but there's one problem...I think she might be imaginary 😬
#ASFchat - Q2: Describe your WIP as a date gone wrong! Did a fire break out? Did an ex show up? Did you lose your phone? Did you get food poisoning? The crises are all there for the taking...
