When rejections begin killing my writing motivation, it's time to take some steps back. I think the hardest thing with trying to get trad published is just the complete lack of real feedback. You don't even know where the issue is. If there's even really an issue. It's maddening!

Doing one final edit that involves a lot of tightening and pruning before I send my manuscript in to an editor. It may be a bit premature, but I'm heavily leaning toward becoming an indie author. While both have pros and cons, I think it may be better for my mental health.

Does the editing ever stop? Do you ever feel as if, yup, this is the version! I've gone through this manuscript at least six different times, and yet here I am going through it again making changes after already throwing out 70 queries. Is this normal author behavior?! #writingcommunity #romantasy

Is it a good idea to start a novella because you're trying to distract yourself from waiting to hear from mentorships and agents about your novel? Probably not. But I admit I'm curious how this is going to pan out. Not the next character I thought I'd be writing about though! #WritingCommunity

Definitely would -not- consider Pern books romantasy. They are not heavy on the romance. AM's Pern books don't fit at all. Coming from a fan of romantasy and pern.

The first commission of my main characters (Ismira & Nythor)! The artist did such a great job. I opted for chibi style for this because I wanted something cutesy and I adore how it came out. Can't wait to share more! #romantasy #WritingCommunity #booksky

Old commission I had done for my first novel. Things have changed a bit in the world since then (such as the colors). But I still love this picture of one of my Lervanians (humanoids) with my ent like Lifegivers. Drawn by the lovely @thepurplehusky.bsky.social quite some time ago.

It surprises me how few of some of these prompt words I have to be honest! Not sure if it's a good or bad thing though.

Also, you think this snippet is heartbreaking? I'm curious what made it feel that way for you.

Okay, this one was a bit better; I had a whole two to choose from. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #romantasy

I'm shocked I don't have a single 'shout' in my entire novel. Screams is close, right? :) #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #romantasy
