If you need me, I'll be studying the ancient texts to solve this bullshit.

✨TENSION✨ only it's me and QueryTracker watching my favorite agent reject queries ahead of mine, getting closer and closer...

My pursuit for a spoonie friendly diet 🤝 My husband's culinary creativity

We call it Chronic Kitchen Chronicles

1 toddler nap, 1 hockey team loss, and 2 hours later I've cut over 1,000 words from my WIP.

In the first 5 chapters. Goddess, help me.

According to beta readers, my top crutch word in Project Thistle?

Smirk 😏

Setting perfectly reasonable expectations for my Beta reading group

I don't agree with banning any book, but if you're going to try, it should be mandatory to submit a high-school level book report on C-SPAN on it before you can propose a ban.

Outlining book two over some sushi. You know, as a treat.

(Is this how plotting works? Sincerely, a pantser who is trying)

My goblin brain wants to activate floor troll mode for outlining, but my chronic pain would punish that decision with prejudice. Where's the VR version of outlining already??

#1 is a personal attack. Stay away from me and my emotional support shelf trophies, okay?

Diplodocus. Easy.

Night off from the book? No, no. You mean make a canon playlist that is referenced in the pages. Certainly, that's what you meant, right?

Buy audiobooks & support local bookstores Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

Libro.fm! They're actually having a sale right now

For sure post if you get repped or self publish, I'd love to read it!

Irish folklore. The cú sidhe, some red caps, a muirdris. Next book will have a péist (dragon)!

Urban Fantasy as well! I hope we both find traction ❤️

You too!! What genre are you diving into?

Collecting agents to query like the autistic I am. Gather, categorize, put them on a shelf to admire. Touch? Noooooo. Only look.

I guess we're getting serious over here

It's sunny out. Watch my productivity soar

Writing with ADHD is weird. Like sometimes I bust out 2,000 words in a few hours that need no editing, but other times I get tired just opening my doc.

Please clap, I'm so tired

I'm a Monday therapy person too. Some weeks I desperately want to skip, but usually that's when I need it the most. Sets a good note for the rest of the week, though

First query rejection on the books for Project Thistle. Form letter, but quick turn around.

Am I a real author now?

Hey you know how Christmas was only 2 weeks ago and not 7 months ago?

I'm gonna go rewatch comfort shoes until February, thanks.

Finding a possible comp only to realize it had JUST been delivered to my Libby is 🤌🏼 ✨perfection✨

So because I don't want current events, tech news, or political content Bluesky has resorted to giving me ....

Birds.

My feed is full of fucking BIRDS.

You know what, imma just wait for Jan 20 for the trash here to take itself out. Then I'll be with my people
