Though I do consider myself to be a marginalized author because I am a member of the 🌈 authors club, I won’t be participating in #dvpit this year. So far, all of my works have been straight-passing. So, I’ll use tomorrow to boost my fellow diverse authors instead! 🫶🏻

My little shadow (Ami) is a great #writing buddy. 🖤 #writingcommunity

I’ve always been a majority plotter, but for this book I’ve been trying to nail down the entire plot before drafting. I like to hand write my plotting. I’ve already filled 2.5 notebooks with thoughts, revisions, scraps of scenes… and having so much fun! 💙📚 #writingcommunity

Got halfway through the detailed outline of my new project and wrote the first chapter. I’m so excited about it, it’s my favorite I’ve written so far! Very voicey, dual POV, action-packed and lots of fun!

One of my very good friends got a full request and follow up scheduling The Call within two weeks of querying. She sent exactly ONE query, ever, and that was it. My joyous envy overfloweth! She needs to sell merch at this point 😂 #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

Ever wish you could punch your ex in his smug mouth? Not worth jail time (or contact)? Live vicariously! Jake (fkboi name): alcoholic representing the cycle of abuse Chloe: ever-hopeful wilted flower who learns to trust herself (and load a punch like a bullet) Yuta: 🥵🐦‍⬛💁🏻‍♂️ #UnhingedPit #A #H #R #F

Sausage Dog's Book Review of To Ruin the Sky⚡️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Woof woof woof woof woof *itches leg* woof woof *sniff* Woof woof woof! Translation: Excellent Urban Romantasy with supernatural beings, a potential apocalypse, banter & tatted MMC. Would recommend #UnhingedPit #Q #NA #RF

THIS ENDS NOW: Matrimonial escape artist Lainey is finally ready to stop running from good men. But first she must disarm her brilliant, merciless ex who programmed her to bolt from love—and whose poisonous ghost still sabotages her every chance at happiness. #A #WF #Q #QuestPit

An anti-capitalist workplace comedy where an unlikely duo use personality tests and mind games to find contestants who want to win a one-way trip to Mars in a reality TV team competition. But the only person they can agree to launch into space is the techbro showrunner. #UnhingedPit #A #LF #HA

#UnhingedPit Side Characters in Dreams (a.k.a. #F “Altered Carbon”) ☀️The Sun is a Lady 👁️ 👄 👁️Kintsugi porcelain doll (life sized and ALIVE): Creepy Speaks in riddles? Of course. Love her anyway? You betcha. 👩🏾‍🦱👠Elegant (and slightly thirsty) librarian/BFF Stupid Men™️ Pitch: song titles as the hook🎶

I know they call this the trenches, but I never expected my own CHARACTERS to reject my queries 😅 #UnhingedPit #YA #F #LGBT #amquerying

A glimpse into Mateo's Burnie Cake recipe (Sweeney Todd vs. Bunny vs. your neighborhood baker) #UnhingedPit #A #H #Q #writers #WritingCommunity

Jack and Rose share a brain cell in this gender-swapped version of Titanic, where both of them actually want the boat to sink if it means they don't have to sail around the world together. Who needs an iceberg when you have a high-stakes boat race and awful families? #na #r #cr #q #unhingedpit

An evil potion company with no health benefits? Sounds familiar 👀 My adult cozy fantasy novel POTIONS UNINCORPORATED 🤝 Shrek Memes #TheyDontEvenHaveDental #UnhingedPit #Q #A #F #R #amquerying #writesky #writingcommunity

My favorite trope is Man Who “Doesn’t Feel” Learns to Love™️

WWYD: I (20f) moved to a new town and met a guy. He asked me on a date to the nearby woods and it was ok except his friend went missing. He’s acting weird about it and I think I’m seeing her ghost. Do I go on another date with him tonight? (He’s hot btw.) #UnhingedPit #H #AG #NA

Fuck it, just toss a bunch of period crime dramas into a blender, make it gay and low fantasy, and see what happens #unhingedpit #a #f #t #w

Dreams No Mortals dare is genre and mind bending, and worth the read. Unhinged Comps: 🐦‍⬛ Goth “Alice in Wonderland” with a HEA. 🐦‍⬛ The Nevermore trilogy by Kelly Creagh (but make it #A) 🐦‍⬛ Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher (less scary, more smoochy) Pitch inspo: 90s cereal ads🥣 #UnhingedPit

An excerpt from my manuscript I #AmQuerying, DREAMS NO MORTALS DARE. Chloe Douglas escapes the nightmare of her life through lucid dreaming. In her dreams, she is in complete control—until a stranger cloaked in raven feathers intrudes on her utopia. #BookSky #WIPSnips #Horror #Romance #SpecLit

Poe-approved excerpt from my manuscript I #AmQuerying, Dreams No Mortals Dare. 😈

My Poe-inspired horror romance revolves around hope: the ephemeral and gossamer, and the kind with bloody knuckles. Chloe has built a life from the crumbs of circumstance, and now it’s dissolving. Without hope, she can’t persist. So what happens when hope is gone? #BookSky #SpecLit #AmQuerying

Finished edits on my Poe-inspired story, sent out my first queries. There’s already been some interest, so I’m crossing my fingers AND toes for this one! 🤞🏻 I truly love this book, it’s so dear to my heart. Using a fantasy world to parallel and confront an abusive marriage healed a deep wound in me.

Sent out the last of my queries for Thorn of Queens/UTVD before it’s shelved. It’s bittersweet. Of about 50 queries, I’ve had two full requests that ultimately passed, but I feel proud of the first book I’ve ever written. Work on my Poe-inspired ms is going well! Finishing the first dev. edit soon.

35k words down in the first draft of my psych horror Poe-inspired romantasy! 20 open queries for my enemies-to-lovers romantasy where a skilled gardener must make a life-or-death fae bargain to grow a magic plant in a barren wasteland. Drafting is a good distraction during the waiting 🫶

I was deep in the midst of a dream where I received an R&R request, on the cusp of reading the secret of How To Fix My MS™️ when my baby woke up from his nap and I was ripped from the dream by force. 💀 What if it was prophetic?! 😭 #writingcommunity #querying #authors #writing

Hello BlueSky! I’m Kendra, and I’m new here. Looking for indie and trad pub #authors to connect with! I’m nerdy and goofy, and I don’t know what to say! 😁 #books #writers
