Happy Monday #WritingCommunity! Drop your author website below, I'm needing some inspiration for my own. If you have books for sale on your site even better because I need some new books to read and I'd love to support some authors here on twitter. 😉

I finally sent my first batch of queries out! Now, to stay occupied should I begin the sequel to the book that's being queried, start one of my new novel ideas, or send out more queries? How many queries do you usually have out at a time? #WritingCommmunity #amquerying

I finished my manuscript in December and put off my query letter until now. It terrifies me! This is my first novel. Any tips, I’m going to force myself to just do it. Are there people on here that read query letters and give suggestions? THANKS! #WritingCommmunity

Sundayin the ER! I didn't post the super gory picture, but I broke my nose, had a hole ripped through it, and a good part ripped off. Not enough skin left to even suture. Going to need plastic surgery, woohoo. Going to use the down time to finish book. #WritingCommmunity
Well, I have my website up. It's still a WIP, but I have a brief about and my first blog post!!! Yay for small victories. Tips for author sites welcome. I'll probably add a WIP page soon. #WritingCommunity In other news.... I'm sending my final draft of my first book to readers!!
