Oh you're right, I just saw that. I'll keep an eye out for sure!

I have one of those, too, actually! (though the YA dystopian is more of a SFF crossover) I can send my cozy magic realism query instead :)

My manuscript has been comped to AMONG THE BEAST AND BRIARS, I'll send it your way!

This is one of my comps! I'll send a query your way :)

I actually managed to finish my first draft!

Now I'm ready to eat too much and accomplish nothing else until December 🦃 ❄️

Nothing like heading into the last chapter of a WIP first draft. Things are all coming together so perfectly! I can't wait until I can share!

WHITE LOTUS X FRANKENSTEIN

Finally! A morning that actually feels Autumnal! ✨️🍂🎃🍁✨️

This is the kind of thing I do to distract myself from the excitement of amazing agents who currently have my full manuscripts. How do you distract yourself?

Reached peak cottagecore witchy vibes today, saving a drowning toad during a storm ✨️🍂🍄‍🟫🐸🎃🍄🍁✨️

My chronic illness has been flaring up and I simply do not have the spoons for a pitch event. I will not be pitching tomorrow, though I'm pretty excited with the agents who currently have my projects, and I will do my best to support my wonderful author friends! #QuestPit

I received another R&R recently, and I finally figured out how to put it into action! I'm so excited to see if they'll like it when I'm done!!

Love all these flowers!

10 k into my new WIP! And it's not terrible!

I got a rash from berry picking yesterday, but I'm honestly just excited to use plantain from my yard to clear up the itch in true bog witch fashion

You're already on blackberries? We're still collecting black caps!

Thank you!!! This would be the first time I'm offering, so I think I might reach out!

Revisions have been completed and sent to the requesting agent, but I'm curious if I should reach out to the other agents with my full... Would they want the updated pages, or is reaching out just annoying?

I was a foolish fool and had way more to do than originally planned... I'm over halfway through revisions, though!!

I ran out of both cream and creamer, so I added ✨️ice cream✨️ to my coffee instead. Work with what you've got, right? 🤣

I'm down to one last edit for my cozy story! Then I'll write some more of my WIP (Frankenstein x White Lotus if it were directed by Jordan Peele) and give it another full read before sending it back!! Think a two week turn around seems suspiciously fast for an R&R?

Tackled the biggest/ most difficult change of my revision, so the rest will go quickly and smoothly, right?

Made my husband bread pudding for breakfast, pizza from scratch for dinner, and gave him a while lot of writing time for father's day. I think I nailed it! Yes, that's pickle pizza 🤣

I have a fun spooky MG you might like!

Are there better vibes than stock simmering on the stove, rain pattering against summer leaves through an open window, and a bit of time to start chapter one of a new project?

Pickle brined chicken (with extra dill) homemade ranch, shredded carrots all on top of a fresh spring mix salad!

I highly recommend trying pickle brined chicken. This was such a delicious dinner my husband made!

Liz Lemon energy and I'm here for it!

It's so fun to see how many other authors use this method!

Yesssss exactly! This is where my b plots get woven in, too!

That's almost exactly my plan for this one! I love finding other authors who use this system, it's so organized and efficient

Fair enough. I figured it was both anyway hahaha
