A 1980's baby living as a writing lady. PIMPMYBIO #PITCHWARS 2016 MG MENTEE HOPEFUL. Shello and hi there! I’m April. Feel free to follow me @aprilmwall. It’s that time of year again for PitchWars, the brainchild of the incomparable Brenda Drake. Well, not pimp myself. That doesn’t sound right. But you know, what? If I had to go that route I would pimp myself because I’m an independent woman and I don’t need a pimp to do my dirty work. Ok, that derailed. Get to the good stuff, you say? 1 I’m Romani,...

How Being a Skimmbassador Helped Me Start a Tampon Drive. Sometime last year I stumbled upon The Skimm: An informative email delivered to my inbox every morning that covered everything from politics to sports and everything in between. I loved it. If it didn't involve Daniel Tiger, organic kid-friendly snacks, and researching the effects of dual-language charter programs I probably wouldn't have time to read it. It was life changing. Those women and men (there are almost 9,000 now) have changed my life&#...

#PitchWars #whataride – A.Y. Chao
https://aychao.com/2016/08/25/pitchwars-whataride
Writer Foodie Instagrammer Coffee Fiend. BETA Reading and Critique Services. Earlier this summer I spent a frazzled two weeks putting together my submission for Pitch Wars. That’s a lot of hopefuls for not that many places. Even with 12 last minute bonus spots that’s 137 mentees out of 1957 entrants. A 7% chance of getting a spot. It’s not high, I’ll grant you. But when historically 50% of the mentees land agents, it puts that 7% in a much more flattering light. That’s three weeks of waiting around...

Writer Foodie Instagrammer Coffee Fiend. BETA Reading and Critique Services. I read this wonderful thread. On Twitter from Julia Brandt. She’s inspired me to live a little more in the moment. I tend to downplay achievements, and hold off on celebrations. I am queen of delayed reaction. Because. Get in the way, often the celebration gets left by wayside. So these are things I’m celebrating! A nice grown up dinner out on Thursday will be the perfect celebration. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You are commenti...
