Me: I really should do my laundry. It feels like it's been a while.

Ah! Do NOT miss this giveaway!

(Will anyone else love my "I have a party spreadsheet and a murder spreadsheet" character as much as me? Maybe not, but I love the hell out of her.)

Being delighted and entertained by my own writing never gets old. I know the goal is to write something other readers will enjoy, but I am always the target audience and I love this book.

Me over here making notes on my blurb request spreadsheet 👀👀👀 (This is a super helpful post that makes the process seem way less daunting!)

A fantasy where all the sources of magical power in the world were being depleted and one girl could create power from nothing and needed to, obviously, save the world. (Actually 1 other person had her power, so I made them friends and then killed off that character. For the angst. As you do.)

If the QM form is open, they're open to all queries! Sometimes agency websites don't update as quickly, but the agent has full control over QM being open, so it's safe to go by that.

Check back throughout the week. Some may be listed as opening this week but just haven't turned on their QM form yet.
