“The Great Rewrite” of Haywood is now complete! It’s now fully in first person POV and I love this story so much more now 💖🥹😭 I ended up adding around 12k new words and I’m so excited for my alpha/beta readers to get it in their hands. 🙌 🎉 #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Working on my rewrite makes me feel a bit more accomplished than I probably should. I mean, it’s not like I’ve written 25k *new* words or anything But still…It’s a win for me🏆😏 #writingcommunity #amwriting #amrewriting

I've been trying to think of my very first post here. I feel this entry I did for a mini gallery of "A Reflection of This Past Year" is a perfect way to introduce me and my small business. A piece I wasn't even going to finish ended up being my favorite of the entire year. Just do the art.

Withdrawing my queries from agents for the manuscript I'm rewriting is tough, but I know it's going to be such a better novel when I'm done with it this time! 💪 #amwriting #amrewriting #WritingCommunity

Okay I know I complained about rewriting my manuscript…but this first person POV version is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amrewriting

“Ash to ash, bone to root, Feed the soil, the Maker’s fruit. Burn the rot, purge the blight, Keep us safe til our endless night.” Elder Hollow may seem safe and cozy, but the town is rooted in secrets that taste of ash and rot. #WIPPIT #YA #H #R #Spec

"It’s an omen of ruin and sorrow, the Wildwood. The Varin teach us the Maker protects us from the evils of the world-the forest as a barrier. And we mustn't go in the forest because it’s filled to the brim with devilry that will surely consume our souls." #WIPPIT #YA #H #R #Spec

In the town of Elder Hollow, nothing that enters the Wildwood ever returns. Hazel Avenell mourns the loss of her sister who’s been missing four days, surely lost to the forest. But her sister returns and she’s not exactly as she used to be… #WIPPIT #YA #H #R #Spec #FBW

Oh no…am I actually about to rewrite my entire manuscript to change it from 3rd person to first person POV? 😭🫠 #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmAlsoLosingMyMind

I’m not usually one to DNF a book I’m reading—I’ll power through and just get it done to say I did it. But I’ve recently had to put down aTHIRD book in a series I was really enjoying because I. Just. Couldn’t. What’s caused you to ever DNF a book? #readingcommunity #DNF

ANTHOLOGY OF THE WOODS FMC, Brigid, celebrates Yule & the Solstice❄️🕯️ #CheerPit #Q #YAF When a sisterhood of magical women crosses paths with a Nashville rock band, fame and magic will prove too big to walk the narrowing path together, guiding one to power & losing all others to the woods.

In a sentient inn, a witch and her guests bake shortbread. Faces warmed by firelight, windows framing snowy hills. Flour paw prints on floorboards. Laughter and cloves in the air. The witch hums 'winter wonderland'. She's in love but she doesn't know it yet. #CheerPit #A #F #Q

❄️When a dragon bonds with her, Lily must give up on becoming a healer and endure the training of a soldier alongside Ryker the Dragon Prodigy Fav Holiday Drinks: ❄️Ryker - hot chocolate (he’ll down it even if it’s scalding hot) ❄️Lily - peppermint latte #Cheerpit #Q #R #F #NA

Aster would do anything to be the best writer the world has seen— even if it means spilling her blood to commune with the greats that came before her and potentially lose the ones she loves. Favorite holiday song: White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes 🦊 #Q #A #F #H #CheerPit

In Elder Hollow, the winter solstice means making blood tithes to the Elder Yew and thanking the Maker for protection. Hazel Avenell enjoys the cozier aspects of the colder months, less so the rituals connected to the forest that has a claim to her soul🌲 #CheerPit #WIP #YA #H #R

The witches of Haywood House get to celebrate both Xmas with the Naries in the human realm and Yule with fellow witches at school. Celebrating the winter solstice looks a bit different than celebrating Xmas! It’s a bit cozier and involves the Nocturne Ball✨ #CheerPit #Q #YA #SFF

The witches of Haywood House often get to celebrate two sets of holidays-Xmas with the Naries in the human realm and Yule with fellow witches at school. Growing up alongside Naries, Gilly and Xavier have their own favorite Christmas treats and traditions! #CheerPit #Q #YA #SFF

“Reading for fun” as a writer more often ends up feeling like research and brainstorming. (Not complaining) It’s amazing what ideas can come from such trivial parts of other stories 💖 #WritingCommmunity #amwriting

When the fun “short story” you were writing takes on a life of its own and now it’s going to be a full length novel and you have to create an entire religion for this world… 🫠 anyone else?? #WritingCommunity #amwriting #WIP

Help me out writers and readers… Can you think of books that fit into the description of “cozy fantasy” in YA? Is this a sub-genre that even exists?
