💜💜💜What a cool day this is.

In today's version of 'stop writing and go to bed', I found this needed- to be edited gem: d ton' ...instead of don't. Even spellcheck was like "I give up. This is just disrespectful."

Absolutely. And I tell my dog to be good. 'Cause she's a bratface.

Is this dopamine knitting? Using up more scrap yarn to make some chunky socks, picking patterns that bring joy. I want to make hundreds in crazy designs.

Scrivener keeps calling me a potty mouth and telling me to go to bed. #amwriting #amediting

writing is all fun and games until you have to describe a room

⭐️Querying Transparency Post w/ Stats. A 🧵 1/7 I got 2 offers of rep after 6 weeks of querying. BUT, this does NOT tell the full story. I actually started in Nov '21. Transparency is so important to help us not feel alone.💙 See below for stats. #amquerying #writingcommunity

Careful, girl. Every character you write oozes into your life a little bit.

Really sad news today- my sweet girl Alice, 15 years young, isn't doing so well, and we'll be saying goodbye to her by next week. 😭 Pets don't live long enough.

Keeping present/past tense consistent is far too hard for Drafting Me. Lol. That's Future Me/Editing Me's problem. Are you a stickler for getting all the tenses straight in drafts?

This is a gorgeous idea! 🥰

I am 20,000 words into my new novel. Definitely at least 5 of them are good. 😁 (First drafts are like...)

Bleeding a pretty emotional well of personal history for the new book! Now I need to account for 'hitting my cry time' every day as well as hitting the word count! 😅

I realized I made the settings for my wip too vast and the distance was really slowing down the pacing. I'm working on scaling it down. Better to have a couple of intimate set pieces than a giant, forgettable arena.

Opening day of zucchini season

Happy pub day!! 🩷🌹🌹

I'm no agent- but last week I reached out to give feedback to someone on their query (who asked for the help!), and they argued with me so badly it bordered on harassment. I know this is a tough business, and emotions can run high- but careful who you're aiming at, folks.

just got a query rejection for a book that 1) has a publisher 2) comes out in three months 3) has sold foreign rights to major territories 😭😭😭😭

Larkin's falling hard for the Greek god that got her pregnant, creating a story that has the fun & hijinks of Rachel Hawkins’s THE EX HEX but with a romance more akin to Alison Cochrun’s THE CHARM OFFENSIVE, including #ownvoices #acespec representation. #QueerPit #A #F #R #FR

Litany of the Bone Saint💀 #DF #A #QueerPit When a woman is reanimated under bizarre circumstances, Sister Roksana is drawn into a mystery that's long eluded her faith—the mythical city Death’s End, its undead mayor, & a necromantic power struggle that may extend beyond its walls
