In a world where perfume is magic, an underprivileged girl must overcome long-held prejudices to prove herself as a Lily Maid, perfume magic ambassadors, but a deadly scandal behind her predecessor’s death threatens her life and everything she’s longed for. #preDV #YA #F

Getting ready for #DVpit in October. Is anyone else participating? #writingcommunity ##amquerying #yawriter #writingya

Slowly but surely I've fallen in love with my WIP. ☺️🩷 #amwriting #writingcommunity #yawriter #writingya

I finished the first chapter of my YA gothic!🎉 Please, God, don't let this story be over 100K. ☺️🩷 #writingcommunity #writingfantasy #amwriting

After tinkering with my YA gothic fantasy, I'm feeling the love again. But now I'm working on two projects, which I've never done before. The second is a YA cozy fantasy. I know I'm going to have to choose which to focus on. #amwriting #writingcommunity #yawriter #writingya

Currently reading a sample of Upon A Starlit Tide by Kell Woods and the writing is just luscious. I'm hooked. As for my writing, I'm struggling with my current WIP, a gothic fantasy. I'm not obsessed and I need to be, but I do have another idea that's calling my name.😉 #writingcommunity #amwriting

I posted this video on Instagram a week ago. It's a quote from an old WIP, plus a look at its Pinterest board. What do you think? I still haven't cracked the code on Insta. It's a real struggle. #writingcommunity #yawriters #writingya #amwriting #writersonbluesky

#CRPGlasswings I did make more progress revising my WIP. I managed to reduce the word count by thousands. Considering this project is the longest I've ever written, I count it as a win. Bonus: Congrats to my fellow campers for making progress in your stories and for putting yourselves out there.🩷

#CRPGlasswings I didn't know the ending of my WIP for a long while as I was drafting. It just so happened to come to me as I was nearing the end. No, I don't know the ending of my newest WIP. Bonus: After camp, I hope to finish revising my YA fantasy and make more progress on my YA gothic.

#CRPGlasswings I've written contemporary YA and MG in the past, but fantasy is where my heart truly is. I won't say that I'd never write in a specific genre or an age group because you never know. Bonus: I'm a pantser. I love discovering the story as I write. It may be chaotic but it's so much fun.

##CRPGlasswings The strongest emotion I've felt while writing is sadness on behalf of my characters feeling hopeless. Bonus: My fantasy WIP isn't particularly sad, but there is a scene between the FMC and her little brother that warms my heart every time I read it. 🩷

#CRPGlasswings I almost forgot to post today. My favorite element of writing a book is drafting beginnings and endings. Bonus: The element of writing that's hardest for me is revising. It's so hard.

#CRPGlasswings I've made a little progress with the WIP I'm revising, and a little progress with my new idea. My goals haven't shifted. I hope to be finished with the new story by November, and I'd love to have my WIP revised by summer's end.

##CRPGlasswings An aesthetic for my YA fantasy that I'm currently revising. I don't have a pitch that's short enough to include in this post yet, but I have shared a longer one in the past.

#CRPGlasswings I missed the sprints today. Such a bummer. I haven't even touched my WIP unfortunately. I am looking forward to tomorrow because we'll be sharing our novel aesthetics. I can't wait to see them. Thank you @safiyabintsaleh.bsky.social for being such a wonderful camp counselor! ☺️🩷

#CRPGlasswings For spa day, Zipporah would love to unwind with a cup of tea and cake. Bonus points if she could get her little brother to tell her one of his stories. A lovely evening. Bonus: I can never resist a cup of tea, while I watch my favorite show. Reading a good book would be perfect, too.

#CRPGlasswings My favorite relationship I've written is between my FMC and her little brother because they're both dreamers at heart. He loves to tell stories and she's very supportive of him. Bonus: My biggest supporters of my writing are my parents. They're constantly cheering me on. ☺️🩷

You'll need enough money to purchase the ultra expensive magical perfumes if you intend to be someone of note. If you're really desperate, you could settle for a counterfeit perfume and a tube of ointment to treat the rash it might give you. #CRPGlasswings

I've finally settled on my YA gothic as my next WIP. The other option was a cozy fantasy I spent a few minutes brainstorming, but ultimately the gothic will be a good follow up to my current YA fantasy. Here's an aesthetic for the YA gothic. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writingya #yawriter

I love this question. My mother's perfume collection and a quote I found on Pinterest inspired my current project. Bonus: I was inspired to start writing because of a book I read ages ago. Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr. I gave writing a shot and ended up falling in love. #CRPGlasswings

Hello #CRPGlasswings. My main character's name is Zipporah, Zip for short. She's a big dreamer and has a deep desire to be more than she's told she is. She loves her family and adores her little brother. My favorite thing about her is her tenacity.

Hello fellow campers! I'm Tracey, and I'm currently working on a YA fantasy with a perfume based magic system. My goal for camp is to connect with other writers and spruce up my manuscript. #CRPGlasswings

Trying my best with Instagram, but it's still a struggle. At times I need to remind myself that as a writer writing should come before content creation. #writingcommunity #amwriting #yawritingcommunity

I thought I'd end up loving revising more at some point in my writing journey, but I still prefer drafting. I love that first spark of inspiration when dreaming is essential and there are endless possibilities. #writingcommunity ##amwriting #amrevising #yawriter #writingya

My advanced reader copies are officially out into the world. Someone could be reading my novel RIGHT NOW. What a feeling! But I haven't closed the door. If you are still interested in a free sneak peek, look no further 😊 WHEN THE SKY BREAKS: www.septimusbrown.com/arc

I've also been trying to create more content for my story The Lily Maid. Creating content is so fun but oh so exhausting at times. Here's a reel I created recently. What do you think? BTW, thank you for showing my posts so much love, especially today. 😉❤️ #writingcommunity #amwriting #yawriter

I've gone back and forth a few times trying to decide which project to write next. I think it needs to be a story that complements my last WIP. Not a sister exactly but perhaps a cousin. I think I'll stick with my current SNI. 🥰❤️ #writingcommunity #amwriting #yawriter #yafantasy

I can tell someone’s status by their perfume. A birthright in all Vespery where anyone, if they have a nose that can smell even a whiff, the scent of a wealthy woman’s fragrance could follow them well into their dreams. Dreams marked by perfume magic. #1stlinepit #C #YA #F

An aesthetic for my YA fantasy, The Lily Maid. It's my 7th completed novel, and I hope it's the one. 🥰❤️ #yafantasy #amwriting #writingyafantasy ##yafantasywriter #writingya #writingcommunity

I’m a pantser who writes a mix of a 0/1st draft in about 2 months, and it’s... a hot mess. But I love that it can be a disaster. It’s like that one drawer in your kitchen, full of junk—takeout menus, random bits of stuff—but it’s the only place where everything can just... be #writingcommunity #wip

I started a new WIP recently, a gothic YA fantasy. I'm almost halfway through the first chapter and I am smitten. #amwriting #writingya #yawriter ##yawritingcommunity #writingcommunity
