Writers. Don't put such pressure on yourself. The process should be fun. Query. Listen. Pivot. Query. Make writing friends. Honor rejections as marks of progress. Drink tea in a special mug. Celebrate, you are not a couch potato. Query. #YOUGOTTHIS

Serious question... have you helped another writer today? This business is tough. Kindness makes differences. Need an idea? Send somebody virtual coffee, read a first page, follow another writer on Twitter. We get to dictate our culture. Let's make it the best it can be. #goals
