Something really fun about me is that I'm allergic to like 90% of makeup products.

Something else really fun about me is I'm a certified #theatrekid

So yes, I am constantly throwing my body into allergic reactions for shows. Sue me 🤷‍♀️ (please don't sue me, my eyes are too puffy for the paperwork)

Have I sent myself into a minor hEDS flare due to too much typing this week? Yes.

Have I also removed over 10k words from my manuscript for a revise and resubmit? Also yes.

Worth. It.

You call it a problem. I call it singlehandedly keeping a small book store in business.

In other news, the one book I intended to purchase turned into six. Worth it!

Today has been a damn good day. Finding these little pockets of joy makes life so much better. 💛💛💛

If we happen to get a request that doesn't include this information, is there anything we can do?

Thank you so much for all your help! It's been so cool to see the event unfold!

Thank you so much! The best advice I've ever gotten is it can't be good until it exists -- it's helped me not get so caught up in perfectionism (even though I still struggle with it).

2 requests and feeling so, so freaking grateful! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

This looks amazing!! Really well formatted and user friendly

It’s ok to put the phone down.

Can't believe it's taken this long for me to get to! But I'm adoring it so far!

It really is. People warned me, but it's not something you get til you're in it 😂😭🫠

This is such a good question!

The ultimate dream is a 4 book deal of interconnected standalones, culminating in getting to traditionally publish a story that I know I can't debut with.

Also, having someone write fanfic of my characters. That's when I'll feel like I've "made it."

Querying is such a mind game- hours spent staring at yellow rows surrounded by red frowny faces and green smiley faces with no way of knowing what the outcome will be.

It's worth it regardless of the outcome, but good God, it is doing a NUMBER on my brain.

#amquerying #debutauthor #querytracker

WHAT YOU NEED FOR THE EVENT • Pitch (300 characters or less. Each space, return/enter, and emoji counts as a character) • Age Group/Category • Genre • Name or Pen Name • Email address Remember… • Pitches will be posted in random order, so there is no benefit to rushing to get your pitch in first. • After you submit your pitch, wait to get a confirmation page. You’ll find a link to download a #PitchDis 2025 Participant graphic there.

I know many of you will be preparing your #PitchDis pitch over the weekend, so here's a list of what you'll need for the event and a couple of reminders.

Definitely alone! I often write in complete silence because I'm too easily distracted by noise 😂😂😂

Book # 185 of 2025: The Good Girl Effect by Sara Cate

Have very high hopes for this one. Sara Cate is an auto-read for me!

Hear me out: Sapphic Shrek re-telling.

I am ill-equipped to process things like this 😭 what does it meeaaaannnn

#amquerying #debutauthor #querying

Had a dream that my #1 agent made me an offer of representation. Woke up at 5:30 am only to find out it wasn't real.

Here's to hoping the dream comes true! 🤞🤞🤞

#amquerying #queryingauthor

Same here 😂😂 I like it, but I don't really get it yet

Wanting to write
But needing to rest my wrists
0/10 not a fan. Let me write

Querying a book is WILD because some agents are actively seeking to rep underrepresented voices and characters, and some look at you sideways if you even mention those things as part of your query letter. #querying

Buying cutie little jackets at Costco because businesses like Costco deserve our money.

Also this jacket is so soft and it's FLEECE LINED. I'm obsessed with it. And it was $9.99!

#Costcofinds #ootd #Costco

This was exactly what I needed to read this morning to not lose myself to despair.

You are so talented! Your Luna and Anna cosplays especially are sssooo good 🥰
