Afternoon, folks! Just because I’m a social media pariah these days doesn’t mean I won’t update Novelarnia! And wouldn’t you know it, WordPress has a cool option to advertise new blog posts without me ever needing to log into Twitter or facebook. Pretty swanky stuff. 😀 So, National Novel Writing Month is right around the corner! Are you participating?

I’m Taking a Sabbatical from Social Media
Hi, folks! Has anyone else noticed the negative trend on social media? Anyone? … Everyone? Me too. It started weighing on me during the pre-election season in 2016, and has only gotten worse. I tried so hard to tailor my Twitter feed simply to writers who talk about writing. They makes me happy. But no matter how often I weeded through my feed, it didn’t last. People have opinions, especially on Twitter. And that’s awesome. Freedom of speech should never be taken for granted.

(I use that word very loosely, since as you’ll see below, they’re perfectly able, and some literally outperform those of us with fully organic bodies!) One girl made a difference for me, though. She was maybe 11 years old, and had a prosthetic leg. And although she preboarded, she definitely didn’t need my help getting situated on the airplane. She sat in the front row with her…

You Got an Agent Offer… Now What?
So, my last post was stupidly popular, and I’m… I’m honestly not really sure how I’m going to top it. But naturally, I’m going to try by writing a super long, very wordy post!! 😀 Who here knows what happens after you sign with a literary agent? You get The Call. You ask your questions. You graciously thank them for the offer, then request a week or two to think it over. And then you frantically send email after email to any agent already considering your novel (this includes unanswered queries all the way to requested fulls). At the end of your deadline, you weigh the pros and cons of your original…
