I'm in a very "what extras can I do to make this happen?" phase. βœ¨οΈπŸ•―πŸ€ž

Anyone know of any events happening soon with pitch to editor opportunities?

A few months ago, the thought would have terrified me, and now I'm like, "Let's freaking do this!" πŸ‘Š

Inspired by my own 3yo twins who often blame anyone/thing for THEIR mischief πŸ™ƒ This PB will have the whole family laughing and on their toes! 😳

I love agent Adria Goetz's newsletter! Always so inspiring!

"BE OUTRAGEOUS!
Now is not the time to play it safe. Now is not the time to be a shrinking violet. Now is the perfect time to be outrageous."😏

Using these words as I revise my newest, OUTRAGEOUS #PB! πŸŒ΅πŸ’€

Be outrageous, #writingcommunity πŸ™Œ

I just went to cancel my membership on QueryTracker and looked up when I sent my first ever query. Next week will be exactly 3 years 🀯

In some ways, I wish I've accomplished more, but then I remember everything I've done, people I've met, and WOW! 🫢
