Arumi Writes (too much)

I only have a few more beta critiques to deliver, but I'll be putting a pause on any new beta reading for the time being due to some health challenges, so that I can focus any current energy on drafting. I'll resume offering beta reading as soon as I can! <3

#WritingCommunity

This is such a mood, my oldest has been asking to read my books, and I’d probably need to do some… rewrites 😅

It is, it feels like the death of the story. I hope I will eventually get to share this book with the world someday. ❤️

A graphic from QueryTracker showing query stats. 144 queries sent, 15 full requests. All queries and requests are now closed/rejected.

Can finally, for the last time, put Stardust to bed. After being told not to bother querying it, it managed to win contests, garner interest from editors, and a pretty shocking number of fulls.

Time for my little book to rest. It did so much more than I ever thought it would. ❤️

It will never not be awe-inspiring to watch friends ascend to The Next Level of publishing. Watching them get book boxes, multi-book deals, amazing cover art, book tours, marketing plans, have entire *teams*... It's like this super-cool other world. 👀

Official Pitch:

In a dark hour past midnight, time freezes for modern mortals, and cursed souls feast on the living. A Valkyrie must defeat these souls & heal their mortal pain, while battling her attraction to a Soul Reaper who seeks to devour them instead. #A #F #RF #H

Have been taking a social media break on all platforms, but I've finally gotten back to work on the new project I'll be querying soon!

Modern day Valkyries + influencer culture + horror (a ground-up rewrite of an urban fantasy novel I wrote).

Thank you so much Fay <3

KPOP DEMON HUNTERS x CRESCENT CITY

Three realms: one of light, one of shadow, and the modern world of mortals caught between. She walks them all — half valkyrie, half death-cursed maiden — healing the pain of the dead, hunted by the man who can’t stop haunting her dreams.

The #NaNoWriMo org may have died under a mountain of scandals, but the drive to create lives on. You don't need an org to write a book. Happy creating to all those who are writing this month. ❤️

YES I WANT IT <3

Wrote a 10-page rough outline while the toddlers absconded with some markers... outline is done, but I'm still missing 4 markers. Time to see if I have any new wall art... 👀

#writingcommunity #amwriting

Shoutout to one November many years ago where I wrote 50k in 7 days. It wasn't a *good* 50k, but it taught me that I can at least yeet words to make something book-shaped in a short time.

Brainstorming makes me realize I have way more book ideas than I could ever realistically write. Or... could I? 👀

I made a fan-style trailer for my SFF #amquerying book, just for fun.

Let me know what you think! ❤️

KPOP DEMON HUNTERS x WHEN WE SHATTER

A trio of modern-day Valkyries must defeat the corrupted souls of the dead & ease their mortal pain. When a Soul Reaper begins consuming souls instead, one Valkyrie’s dark secret threatens to destroy the barrier between the living & dead.

LOOK I am mildly obsessed 😄

LOVE that last line, this sounds amazing!!

This is a killer pitch, I love it!!

You caught me, I sunk like 300+ hours into P3FES, I loved the concept of the Dark Hour 👀

CRESCENT CITY x TRON
#Cyberpunk #Romantasy

In a neon-lit dystopia ruled by a ruthless megacorp, a #ND young woman’s hunt for her criminal twin sister leads her into the arms of a dangerous rebel—and the center of a conspiracy that could destroy them both. 


#A #SFF #R #F #SF #DVpit

TRON x CRESCENT CITY

When a #ND young woman is ordered to hunt her murderous twin sister, she uncovers an underground rebellion led by a charismatic user of corrupted magic. Together, they’ll burn down the city & free each other from a lifetime of emotional repression.
