@kristinostby.bsky.social thanks so much for the like. I saw on your QM you don’t accept manuscripts above 95k, mine is currently 99.5k, is that a problem?

When her husband goes through a mental health crisis, Eliza is left alone trying to navigate new motherhood..until she discovers during her most difficult moments she can summon her future self for help.

Can they navigate this crisis together before the link between them dissolves?

If Fleabag did a bit more work in therapy but her dark humour was as murky as ever, you’d have my protagonist, Eliza. Struggling through her first year of motherhood with Henry, think Connell from Normal People, coming to terms with his post-natal depression

#DVPit #A #LF

It takes a village to raise a child—but Eliza doesn’t have one. In desperation, she sends a silent plea into the universe and an unnervingly familiar woman appears and lifts the baby from her arms. Her future self.

She hears her.
She knows her.
She is her.
She’s coming to save her.

Self care isn’t just bath bombs and face masks.

It’s literal. What if during your worst moments you could summon your future self for help? What if you could step back in time to be the support you always needed and see your child as a baby again?

Early motherhood is a magical and the concept of time seems to blur. ✨

But what if it actually did blur, and the timeline between the present and the future could be breached? ✨

For Lolita.
For every woman and girl that was preyed on by a smiling predator in a tweed jacket.

Lila is a sapiosexual succubus. If you seduce her and ask her to ‘take it’…

She’ll take it all.

Consume her youth and beauty, she’ll consume you mind and power.

Thanks! The character is basically your formerly fun friend going through the hardest time of her life but underneath it all she’s still herself

Thanks so much for the feedback. My bad!

Wow!

Love this 🥰

She can’t rely on her future self forever, she needs to repair her relationship with her husband and build a village in the present whilst defining motherhood in her own terms before the link between her and her future self dissolves.
