#UnhingedPit #A #R #Q Hi Agents Ok, yeah, there’s a lot of spicy romcoms out there BUT All of my beta readers got pregnant whilst reading mine… So, that’s our marketing hook, right? This book will basically sell itself.

#UnhingedPit #A #R #Q This took as long to make as it did to write the book - a 90k spicy romcom *ahem* When fate keeps pushing a hot man into your life but you don’t want him (ok, you kind of do but not really)

Ok ok ok I think I’ve finished the first draft of my second book (internal screaming) Obvs I’ll noodle around with it and change it a lot But stage one is ✨done✨ and I can’t quite believe I’ve managed to do this for a second time?! #writingcommunity

Ok, it’s not writing related, but I just had to share because I grew a plant from seed (ah!) and it’s grown so big (ah!) and my gnome is now surrounded by pink flowers and I think it’s the cutest

A circuits class, followed by adding 2k words to my draft. Now it’s time for bed before I keel over 🥱 #amwriting #writingcommunity

Oh gahd. Hi. 13 days since my last post. 13 days of having my head down and writing during every free moment. Am now 80% of the way through this first draft #aaaaah #writingcommunity #amwriting & #amquerying (have been avoiding QT like the plague 🙂)

Had some feedback that nearly made me cry. They said I had a distinct & lovely voice, and beautiful prose 😭 Sorry? Me? Also, the MS made them giggle. I fear I’m about to become unbearable 🙂‍↕️ *internal screaming*

At the stage where I don’t even flinch at a QueryTracker email anymore, open them with zero expectation, and carry on with my day when it’s a rejection 😂 is this peace or a trauma response? Idk #amquerying #writingcommunity

I’m 56000 words in and I just had an idea that changes ✨everything✨ soooo I’m gunna just close my laptop and stare out of the window for a little while whilst I contemplate why I decided to start writing books 🙂

#WIPSnips a fun one for ‘search’ - it’s really hard being the sibling that could do romance blindfolded whilst your brother constantly fumbles the girl 🙄

Concerned that sending queries is becoming an addiction. Is there a support group I could join? #amquerying #writingcommunity

Today’s chalking. Rest in peace, Andrea Gibson

I just found out Andrea Gibson passed away and suddenly the world feels a little less bright ‘Just to be clear I don’t want to get out without a broken heart. I intend to leave this life so shattered there’s gonna have to be a thousand separate heavens for all of my flying parts.’ – Andrea Gibson

Ah Jesus, just finished the third book only to find out it’s a FIFTEEN book series. Goddamn… I’m obviously going to read them all, but still. #booksky

Sorry, what? A #SmallPitch request in my inbox?!

#PlaylistPitch #A #Rom A standard conversation between the FMC & MMC in my rom com that #amquerying… but with song titles ✨🎶

#PlaylistPitch #A #Rom The plot of my 🌶️ rom com in playlist form! If you think it has some mixed messages and are intrigued to find out more, the full MS is ready and waiting at 90k words ✨

The amount of time I waste clicking on the Manuscript Wish List link on agent query tracker profiles, only to find they don’t have a Manuscript Wish List set up…

Had a bloody lovely time with #Unhingedpit yesterday! Thank you for the likes and comments; you’ve all helped dust off the gloom from the query trenches. That being said, I’m heading back in. Wish me luck ✨

Me: come on, it's not like the professionals are even noticing us Also me: ...urgh fi- Me: *pulls out microphone* word count is so important! This 🌶️ romcom is at 90k but let's take a closer look at the word count that really matters! #UnhingedPit #A #R #Q (tw: bad words ahead)

Me: this is perfect for #UnhingedPit Also me: errrr…it might put the professionals off though? Me: ah, true. Let’s pop that into drafts and stick with this meme. Also me: great idea Me: for now Also me: wait what? #A #R #Q

Dean’s plan* for when your male crush asks you out and you're in the closet as bisexual #UnhingedPit #NA #R #LGBT #Q *(very much making this up as he goes along)

Dear Industry Professionals, behold the future reviews we can expect if you decide to take me out of the query trenches! (Please hurry, it’s dark down here and I’m afraid to open emails) #UnhingedPit #A #R #Q

#UnhingedPit could not be coming at a better time. Your girl needs some lightness and fun injected back into querying 😮‍💨

6 rejections in 3 days and I am totally, completely, absolutely fine 😀

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

Reposting this for the ✨delusional✨ energy this week 😌 I need it all because, honestly, I think being delusional might be my best quality? #amquerying #writingcommunity

Starting my Sunday with a partial? I’ll take it #amquerying

It’s been over a week since my last rejection and I am on edge 😮‍💨 please, someone, take me out of limbo today, it’s stressing me out 🫣 #amquerying #itshell

Your girl accidentally started an 11 book series and I’m in deep and cannot get out send help #booksky

My boy is unconvinced that the fan can do anything for him, but he’s willing to give it a chance

I’ve decided that July will be better

Ha, my brain went, ‘oh yeah? This will teach you to say shit about me on the internet!’ and now I’ve added 5k words to my WIP 🙂‍↕️

I have written three paragraphs and some dialogue, and now I’m tapped out. My brain doesn’t work in this heat 😮‍💨

Dear Algorithm Daddy, can you stop putting football, rats, and birds in my feed and show me writers, readers, and funny stuff instead? Thanks so much 😘 (Yes I have done ‘show me less’ but it’s not making a difference 😒)

Ok, you have 3 guesses as to what fmc is referring to… #WIPSnips #writesky #romancewriter #writingcommunity

My whole feed tonight is authors announcing that they’ve found representation and it makes me all giddy for them #writingcommunity

Today’s #WIPSnips word is ‘desperate’ Here’s to friends that get straight to the point 👏✨

I would just like to say that my google searches should not be considered a red flag to those fighting crime; I am writing a book and researching. That is all. Cross my heart etc thank you 💛 #amwriting #writingcommunity

As part of my research for my third book, I’ve downloaded Duolingo… Un tè con latte, per favore. 😎 (do any of my characters need to order tea? Probs not, but we move)

I have had several dreams that have become reality a few weeks later. Was wild every single time 😮‍💨

The people that keep both their sunglasses and their regular glasses on top of their head really intrigue me. Like, are you pure chaos or are you the most prepared person ever? I genuinely can’t tell?

I’m having a shit attention span day and I’m driving myself ✨mad✨

After seeing Beyoncé, my hips and back hurt so much. I put it down to my great age (30) but turns out, my hips were out of alignment! Which means I’m not too old for concerts! 🥳

#WIPSnips word of the day is ‘sheet’ I had several matches…er, this is the only one that doesn’t require some sort of warning 😅😇

I’m 45k words into second book, then an idea for a third book hits me smack bang between the eyes. Now, I’m straddling two books and panicking because I’ve got the ideas and they need to come out #amwriting #amquerying #writingcommunity #romancewriters

Did a circuit class then added a thousand words to my draft. It ain’t much, but it was enough to get me out of my ‘why am I bothering?!’ little pity party I had going on 😇

Another Monday, another rejection #amquerying .. unsuccessfully, it seems 🙂😂
