Dee Therese - is Querying (🏳️‍🌈 Ally)

If anyone has ever wondered about my icon, there's a story behind it. One day my son and my niece were playing with my phone and found an art creator of some kind on it. This pic was the result. This was years ago, I think my son was 3 and my niece was 5. I still love it.

I've never actually made sourdough, but I do just make a regular braided loaf. I use dried basil, dill weed, garlic powder, and Rosemary. You could also use some of these spices and mix it with butter to put on top. I really enjoy baking bread. Just was never much of a fan of sourdough.

I have a great recipe with a whole bunch of herbs that make it extra delicious!

I'm starting to wonder if there is something really wrong with my pitch. How many rejections did everyone else face before their book was picked up? I'd rather learn from this than get more rejections doing the same thing over again. Any advice? #writingcommunity #writers #writing #amwriting

I'm feeling so embarrassed! When I sent out my queries to 8 agents, I realized I made a mistake in my query letter. The book I'm querying is the first in a trilogy with a companion Novella in the POV of the antagonist, however I said protagonist instead. 😱 #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerslife

My best friend got me this for Christmas! I'm loving it! It says "I'm Booked Tonight". So warm! It has thumb holes also. 80% cotton, 20% polyester. I love the sunflower pattern in the hood. From a brand called "lazy one". #writingcommunity #amwriting #books #writers #writerslife #writerslift
