Thank you for this grounding reminder. The “send when ready” mantra really resonates. While I wait on feedback, I’ve been sketching alternate cover ideas with some image tests on https://aiimageextender.cc — not necessary, but strangely therapeutic.

I laughed at “ohgodwhencanIactuallyreallydomyrealjobinthemiddleofallthis” because SAME. Honestly, reading this was grounding. I also found it weirdly helpful to describe my story visually with tools like https://describephoto.org — made my synopsis feel more real.

Needed to hear this today—especially the part about not trying to “game” the system. I’ve been procrastinating on querying and distracting myself by designing visual moodboards with https://aicartoongenerator.org which, to be fair, made me love my characters more, but now it’s time to hit send!

This was the perfect read to come back to after a mini writing break. I’ve been toggling between final query tweaks and worldbuilding side projects on https://characterheadcanongen.com — turns out imagining backstories helps me stay connected to the voice of my characters.

There are special events and challenges to complete. Brawl Stars often introduces time-limited events where you can earn rewards by completing specific tasks.https://brawlstars.web.tr/

Sounds like an amazing trip! Seeing a bald eagle in the wild must have been incredible. I totally get that "back to reality" feeling—going from peace and quiet back to the daily grind can be rough.

I really appreciate this breakdown of query timing. It’s so easy to overthink when to send a query, but at the end of the day, it’s about getting in the queue when you're ready. The reminder that publishing doesn’t have a perfect "slow time" is super helpful!

Honestly, I feel like this kind of waiting game applies to so many things. I used to stress over the “best time” to submit applications, send emails, or even start a new hobby. Lately, I’ve been trying to just do the thing rather than overanalyze. For example, I recently started playing Squaredle(https://www.squaredle.me) , and instead of trying to find the “perfect” moment to sit down and play, I just jump in whenever I have a few minutes. Turns out, it’s a great way to take a mental break between tasks!

It's amazing how something as simple as food can carry such deep cultural meaning and history. https://terasacucarti.com.co/

Back from a refreshing break and diving into work? If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the query process, remember this: there’s never a perfect time to send a query. Just like in Pokerogue and Pokerogue Dex, where strategy and timing are key, your query should go out when you're ready. Don’t wait for a “slow” period—there’s always action!
