#editortips for the day are on the blog, with a quote from @cmdrsue: http://t.co/tvUSe0Go

Don't be afraid of the story you want to tell. Don't restrict it because of peer pressure or society. Be bold. Write bravely. #editortips

Please RT: URGENT SUB CALL! @entangledpub needs your Christmas/New Year's Flirts and Ever Afters! http://t.co/e406l25e http://t.co/XwjWrexC

If your query is 99% excuses for problems in the story, I'll delete it so fast the electrons will get friction burns. #editortips

Treat querying like dating. Lay out just enough for vitals; don't flop your jank on the table until you know they're interested. #editortips

Your hook should tell us that something is happening that changes the character's world and will affect the rest of the story. #editortips

Look at a hook as a conversation-starter. You're opening a dialogue with the reader, and you want them to stick around to chat. #editortips

You hear about gifted writers; what they're often gifted with is more discipline than most. Learn that, and you're on your way. #editortips

Don't be afraid to write about things that hurt you, either. If you can't let it go, give it to the pages and your characters. #editortips

No one will ever love your story just the way you do--so don't let yourself hate it. If you give up on it, it'll be lost. #editortips

Sarcasm should come across clearly in dialogue and narrative. If you have to tell us it's sarcastic, it failed. #editortips #notsarcastic

Don't try to edit your entire story in one pass. Trickle down, starting with large issues first, then working your way down. #editortips

Even the most successful authors started in the very same place as you. Don't forget that. #editortips (inspired by @kl_grady)

Dear unsuspecting followers: @tiffanyreisz is insane, has no filter, and will make you need the Heimlich. You've been warned. Now love her.

Hey guys, good news: deadlines on the Xmas/New Year's sub calls have been extended to July 10th! http://t.co/e401Ns4k http://t.co/XwjRTEwI

Love your story enough to finish it. Then hate it enough to perfect it. Then love it enough to persevere, even if you fail. #editortips

Guys, I only have one for #editortips today: Read this. Memorize it. @chuckwendig's post will kick you in the ass. http://t.co/4VX7CJcK

So...is anyone writing anything for my V-Day/Anti-V-Day, Geek Love, and Spring Fling sub calls? #hinthint http://t.co/mP4xKPkW

We spend our lives being told to restrain ourselves. Behave. In your book? Let it all out. Misbehave. Express yourself. Be free. #editortips

Waking up from a dream is not a hook. It's passed beyond that and into cliche, overdone, please-god-stop-doing-this. #editortips
