So glad I don't have to do this, my sanity would be shot! 😅 Good luck with querying Meredith, and hear you on the that's, I do a whole pass removing them and even then sone lil buggers get through!
No, no, no! All Christmases should be on Wednesdays!😂 We get more "free" days off that way. Most companies shut down during the "red days" so if a "red day" lands on a weekend it gets wasted. This way we can spend our usual holiday days on, like, Monday and Tuesday and get a whole week off. And if Christmas is on Wednesday, then both new year's and "trettondagen" end up on weekdays as well, so it is perfect^^. Sounds like it doesn't work like that in the US, sadly"/ Anyway, greetings from Sweden, really enjoying your videos!
haha okay, that's true for some places in the US! I do remember loving Wednesday Christmases when I was in school because, like you said, we got extra days off in that case. In the work world, though, it varies. Most people can't take off two full weeks, so you kind of have to pick and choose what days you want. I ended up working the 23rd, 24th, and 26th, then had off through January 3rd.
I am not looking forward to having to write a synopsis 😬 I am sure I will accidentally end up with 2000 words in the 1st draft. That said, it was really helpful to see how you were able to cut down words and hopefully I can do the same when the time comes!
This is so cool! Good luck with querying and love the dedication to the craft!
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for hanging out with us and our chaos! 💛
It was so fun!! Thanks for inviting me to join in 🥰

Honestly, if anything could convince me to join the self-pub space, it'd be the fact I wouldn't have to write these dang things LOL
The empathy i feel for the slow unravelling of your sanity in this vlog is unsettling.
HAHAHA I swear these synopses and query letters are going to put me in the grave!!
I'm also not getting the things done atm 😂
haha oh no! We need an intervention LOL

The first one is definitely the worst! It gets easier
My initial draft was 8 pages LOL The 1-2 page synopsis IS doable, it's just the biggest pain on the planet.
For querying I did a 750 word synopsis (1 page) for submission my agent wanted a 2-3 page synopsis
Last time I had three versions of the synopsis (500, 1000, and maybe 1200 words? I forget now!). I'll be happy if I can keep this on two pages!
hi, I'm obsesed with you (in a creepy way)
