THE FEAR AND THRILL OF WRITING #OWNVOICES The fear and thrill of writing #ownvoices. December 1, 2016. March 13, 2017. ~ Kat Cho. I want to write an honest post about something that has always worried me and probably will always worry me as I keep writing about my heritage. It’s a special kind of imposter syndrome, the fear that I am appropriating my own culture for my art. IF YOU STAND FOR NOTHING, WHAT’LL YOU FALL FOR? Usually at this time of the year, I'd do a year-end blog post about my favorite things that I've read and watched and listened to.

I’m back!
Hello strangers, remember me? I’m the person that’s supposed to keep this blog updated, even though I haven’t posted in MONTHS. I apologize for my LONG absence, but to be fair you can still find me pretty regularly over at Writer’s Block Party ! And I have been much better at keeping up my new(ish) Authortube/Booktube vlogover at YouTube.
STILL, this blog was my first love and I’ve been horrible at keeping it updated. Partly because I _did_ want to try out those other formats of connecting with everyone (vlogging is fun but _time consuming,_ y’all!) Also, because my writing has…not been going well. So, I thought I might talk about fallow periods and the search for motivation and inspiration when you’re a writer or a creator. According to Cambridge dictionary “fallow” means: Fallow land is not planted with crops, in order to improve the quality of the soil A fallow period of time is one in which verylittle happens.
But Mirriam-Webster has a girl’s back because this is the first thing that pops up in their definition: Way to both support and subtweet me Mirriam-Webster! ANYWAY! You get the gist. It’s a period of time where a writer is not writing. There should be a sub-definition that says “a period of time where a writer questions all their life choices and regretseverything.”
The idea of a fallow period for writers is not new. However, if you look at the origin of the word it’s a time when fields don’t produce crops, but it’s ALSO a time when the fields are regenerating nutrients to be able to grow crops again! This definitely changed my view on the time periods when I couldn’t write and how I would treat them. This idea was first presented to me when a CP sent me this post. So, instead of just seeing periods of time where I’m not creating as a negative, I see it as a chance to rejuvinate my creative well and to refresh my mind. I try to read all the books I couldn’t concentrate on when I was actively writing or revising. I use it to watch all the shows I’d been missing out on. And I pursue other creative endeavors because I know that when I’m actively writing I can’t do many other creative things at the same time. So, right now that’s being more active on my Instagram And on my youtube channel!
Still, the idea of most of the things I’m doing is to work toward being able to write again. So I try to find inspiration and motivation in everything I do. I keep journals and lists of ideas as they come to me. And I try to let myself write if I want to, but I don’t set any deadlines and let it just flow naturally. This way, I find that most of the things I end up writing during my fallow periods is very personal and it helps to bring my stories closer to my heart. What do you guys do during your fallow periods? How do you refill yourcreative wells?

It’s HERE! That time of the year when Pitch Wars is starting up and we are finally able to share our wishlists! Claribel Ortega and I are co-mentoring as #Teamoji this year and we are so stoked! Send us all of your YA fantasies and spec fic so we can devour them! (Nom nom nom) FIRST A LITTLE ABOUT US! CLARIBEL ORTEGA got her start editing student’s often times hilarious ads and ramblings on the back page of SUNY Purchase’s Independent Newspaper. From there, she became a small town reporter, where she enjoyed going to board of education meetings and texting the town mayors about the line at Starbucks. Today she’s busy turning her obsession with eighties pop culture, magic and video games into books. She lives in New York with her motorcycle-riding poet boyfriend & her suspiciously intelligent yorkie, Pancho Villa. She is represented by Suzie Townsend at New Leaf Literary. You can find her at claribelortega.comas @claribel_ortega
on Twitter or making promo gifs for authors and anyone else who will pay her at GifGrrl.com.
KAT CHO writes Young Adult Sci-fi and Fantasy. Mostly ownvoices and mostly involving as much angst as possible (don’t @ me). She has been a mentor or judge in other events such as Author Mentor Match and WCNV. And She is a volunteer coordinator for DVPit. She is agentedby

Stay tuned to find out!We love a wide-range of fantasy including historical, urban and epic! We are lovers of diverse stories that tell tales that aren’t centered around Western/European origins. We are fans of strong ensemble casts and strong ladies.

As for our future mentee, both of us really believe in revision. We actually have permanent residency in Revision-town. It’s a quaint little place with cute cottages and pools of our tears. Wine fountains and cheese fountains are equally present. And there’s a nice little path you can take to the top of a mountain where you can scream your frustrations into the uncaring sky. Anyway…what we mean to say is we’re not afraid of revisions and neither should our mentee. Revisions are meant to tighten and polish the MS. At the same time, we also don’t think the path to successful querying is perfection. We’re looking for a story that has potential (and we believe that’s what agents are looking for too). Our future mentee should be ready to work hard. We want someone who is as kind as we are but as ruthless in making the cuts and changes necessary to make their book the best possible. We want someone who will keep an open mind and be willing to discuss big changes if theyarise.
We believe your story will always be yours, we’re just here to collaborate with you and provide guidance and internet hugs and GIFs. Good luck everyone and we can’t wait to read your submissions! Go here for the links to all the other mentor wishlists!1.

PITCH WARS PREP CARE PACKAGE July 10, 2017July 10, 2017~ Kat Cho ~
Leave a comment
Hello internet-peeps! I assume you’re here because you’re considering submitting your manuscript to Pitch Wars ! And as a mentor this year, I am so excited to read the entries once they roll in. However, there is still almost a month until the submission window opens. So, I figure there’s a lot of stress-prep going on. And I’m hoping to relieve some of that stress with some helpful guides to help you prepare your submission and your brainz forPitch Wars.
The first thing I’ll give you is a bit of advice. While Pitch Wars is a great program that provides both mentorship and platform, it is _not_ the end-all, be-all of pitching your work to agents. I did not make it into Pitch Wars the year I applied and I just used that experience to learn and grow as a writer until I got my agent. So all parts of the Pitch Wars experience can be valuable. (Also the fact that you finished and polished a _whole book_ is a huge accomplishment. You’re all awesome!) So, what do you need for Pitch Wars? A Manuscript, a query, a synopsis (optional), wine (less optional), and a support system!MANUSCRIPT:
_Note: you should have a complete and polished MS ready for Pitch Wars. But I’ll provide you some resources I’ve used in my own writing journey for those last minute touches._ Susan Dennard and the Revision Process The For Writer’s Section in Susan Dennard’s Blog Before querying & sub: cutting word count, filler words, & line-edits Can Your Scenes be Seen?

QUERY:
_Some quick advice from me:_ * Comps are NOT a requirement. They’re there to provide some quick insight into what your story is about, the tone/themes of your story, and/or the audience you seek to reach. If the comps you’re trying to include only confuse these facts, considering not having them.

> My recap of 2017 ALA Annual is up over at Writer’s Block Party> Blog!
Writer's Block Party A bunch of the WBP contributors went to ALA Annual conference this year in Chicago and we have an amazing time! Partly because we were able to see Amanda Foody on her FIRST panel and Axie Oh had her FIRST SIGNING for her debut REBEL SEOUL!
Also, scroll to the bottom for a giveaway of books from BookExpo/ALA! To start out the weekend on Friday there were some signings (including one by our own Amanda Foody!) and kick-off parties. WBP was lucky to attend some gatherings and we were totally star struck when we met Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance! He was there promoting DOOM PATROL VOL 1: BRICK BY BRICK.
The first night we went to some amazing get-togethers and got to meet Gerard Way (who was at ALA Annual forhis new comic book)
Saturday was Day 2 and the first full day of the…View original post
