“Genius is eternal patience.”
Confession: I go on Twitter to check and see how my submissions are going. (As in, maybe that editor will tweet something favorable about a new manuscript that landed in their in-box.) In reality, though, I need to resign myself to the waiting game. Publishing tends to be a crawling business.
Another way I find my hours spinning by on Twitter? Hashtags:
#mswl Manuscript Wish List; what hot topics agents and editors are looking for
#querytip Ways to improve queries
#pubtip Advice on all things publishing
#amediting What struggles other writers are facing
#amwriting Also, what creative exploits other authors are pursuing
Where do you hang out on Twitter or other social media?
I also love #MSWL and their blog. Sometimes I check in with #writertips and go to their top tweets. Interesting stuff. At least following particular #’s make me feel like I’m using my time wisely :)
I’ll have to check out #writertips. Thanks, Mona!
I’ve never checked out those hashtags before, but I should go check them out whenever I do sign onto Twitter! Thanks for sharing them. :)
Oh, glad I helped then! Thanks for stopping by, Brittney!
