  1. @KristaVanDolzer Thanks, Krista! Yes, it's my YA sci-fi. I just started querying again. (I'd only sent out a few queries the first round)
  2. @NoelleHenryYA Thank you! It gives me hope that I might finally have gotten this query letter right! :-)
  3. @loritayseastep Thank you! :-)
  4. My new query letter netted a full manuscript request today. Woo-hoo!!
  5. "If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." ~ Vincent Van Gogh ~
  6. Work finished FINALLY. Now to finish up those short story edits for ASIM! It feels good to be back in the short story world. #amwriting
  7. @callmebecks Thanks! Unfortunately I won't be anywhere with internet access for half the event but I don't want to miss out! #WVTP
  8. For those pre-scheduling tweets fro #WVTP, how often should we schedule? Once an hour? Once every half hour? I don't want to be obnoxious!!
  9. @rachelhwrites Cool! I'd love to see it. I always struggle with these kinds of things.
  10. @rachelhwrites Haha. I might. Depends on what work brings on Thursday! Do you have your Twitter pitch all ready to go?
  11. @rachelhwrites Thanks. I'll definitely keep my eyes open. Not sure about the Twitter pitch. I might with another book I'm ready to query.
  12. @TaraDairman Thank you so much for your comments and suggestions for The Road of the Dead. I really appreciate it.
  13. @rachelhwrites Thank you! I know - it would have been very useful. Unfortunately some weeks there just aren't enough hours in the day!
  14. A big congratulations to all who got votes in #TheWritersVoice I can't wait to see who won. Though i got no votes, I had a fabulous time!
  15. Just stopping by to wish everyone good luck in the final push of #TheWritersVoice. Congrats to those who have votes so far! Go #TeamKrista
  16. @rachelhwrites Thank you! Work got crazy & I haven't had a chance to get my query letter ready to workshop. It's currently a disaster!
  17. @rachelhwrites That's me! Wow. I totally forgot.. (It's been that kind of week). I really want to participate but now not sure I can. Aargh.
  18. is switching gears now to work on editorial revisions for a short story for ASIM. Feels strange after focusing on novels for so long.
