Autum | Writer ❤️ Adult Dystopian Spec Fic WIP

If I had a critique group I would probably be less likely to bombard all of my non-writer friends with the result of my writing sessions 😂😭

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Me: Ooh, I'm so deep and complicated. My pain is unknowable.

Also me, the first time there's two hours of consecutive sunshine in Spring:

Finally escaping to a coffee shop to get some further outlining (and maybe drafting??) done for draft 2!!!

Starting this one today 😪. Finished On Tyranny yesterday. Definitely a necessary read.

Wouldn’t be able to do my outline for draft two without it (that’s for sure) lmao

Finish my outline for draft 2!!!! I’m so excited 😭😭😭

in better news, four barn owls trapped in an attic in texas have been rescued, given care and food, and released back into the wild.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Today’s plans:

-Slave away at work
-write on all my breaks
-spend time with son
-hope son goes to bed on time
-send out more queries
-continue drafting

Text: An agent’s guide to When the Magpie Flies by M H Wottenmoss. Background of mountains, trees, and a giant mushroom. A magpie flies in the sky.

Pitch: Magpie of Lornwhen, hobbyist scholar and incurable troublemaker, dreams of becoming a Conduit. As the realm’s only defense against monstrous spirits, Conduits are beloved and privileged—and it’s Magpie’s best chance to escape the undertow of poverty. When a spirit chooses her for the honor, marking her with a cold, entrancing touch, her dream is suddenly within reach. To fully ascend as a Conduit, Magpie, alongside the other newly-chosen, must embark on a journey into the heart of the spiritwoods. The only thing holding her back is her best friend, Calladonna. There are rumors about how Conduits are changed by the mysterious journey, and Calla can’t shake the feeling that if Magpie leaves, she won’t come back. Determined to reassure her, Magpie convinces Calla to come along in secret, hidden from the other Conduits. For the first time, Magpie’s future is bright and shining—until one of the other Conduits turns up dead, and it seems like Calla may be to blame.

Comps: A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft: clueless lesbians, murder and betrayal, journey of ascension. Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher: found family, humor and darkness, perilous quest. Also featuring undiscovered magic, monstrous spirits, chaotic academia, ill-advised rituals, haunted forest, queer & autistic ensemble cast, giant mushrooms, original music

Opening lines: The world went dark just after she jumped off the roof. In one moment she could see the clocktower before her, the ledge beneath its defunct face familiar and inviting, and in the next there was nothing. It wasn't an uncommon occurrence, necessarily, but damn if that wasn't inconvenient timing.

#agentguide for WHEN THE MAGPIE FLIES (81k queer fantasy)

When troublemaker and hobbyist scholar Magpie is chosen by the spirits, she breaks an ancient tradition rather than leave her best friend behind—and brings the wrath of spirits and humans alike down upon the realm.

Today's entry on the very small list of things that make being out before 5am acceptable

There should be a word for the sadness of completing a novel you really enjoyed

Personally I would be getting some air 😂😂😂

Ahh this is so exciting. A snip from my dystopian horror project.

Loving participating in this! Here's a snip from my current Dystopian Horror!

Got about 1k words into my Sci-Fi Horror Dystopian mashup today. Super excited to be nearing the end of act 1.

Anyone have any writing goals today? I want to touch my draft just a little so I think we’re going to aim for 500 and some outlining.

#amwriting #writing #writers #writingcommunity

Hell. Yes. I finally got some words in today after 2 or so weeks of not writing.
