I love that Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has gotten people talking about ancient epic poems so much but what i really want to see is a big budget adaptation of other epic poems. Gilgamesh, Sunjata, Gesar, etc. (there's already a Ramayana adaptation coming later this year so thats cool)

Seeing people love The Odyssy movie and discovering myth for the first time or finding their love for it again, brings me hope people will love my book. While the story is a continuation of what happens after multiple myths, its my love for them on paper 💙

Please, please, do not spent 1500$ on someone promising you that their writing course will get you agents. Please. Especially when the advice they gave was stuff you can find from these agents substacks, twitter posts, and so on. Please.

My first Substack blog, going over how, "Why are you the best person to tell thisnstory?" Is my favorite question to answer on query tracker. Ngl, got a tiny bit emotional writing it 💙 #amquerying substack.com/@pilotingsr?...

Sam pilotingsr.substack.com/subscribe?pa...

I'm writing on substack to capture my feelings centered around querying, and some of life challenges. I'm gonna be open as transparent as possible while writing...well, hopefully something that can resonate with anyone who feels the same. Maybe connect, but mostly, to get it out there. <3

The way I connect with music should be researched and analyzed. ;-; And my toddler singing with Selena is just perfecta. Mi nina's mexicana roots saying HOLLAAA <3

Today, I allow myself to feel much needed emotion. My lineup of what to watch today before my (4th) sleep study tonight and submitting something. House of the Dragon ep 4 He's Just Not That Into You💞 Selena 💙 Riding in Cars with Boys (trauma incoming) Wish my tears luck 😭🤣

The way my cat walks up to me to asks for pets to immediately back away from my hand like its the devil is diabolical

I am tempted to rewrite my synopsis like this. Imagine seeing this?! Oh the insta rejection! lmao Haley's friend died. Haley survived. Haley is vomiting up drugs. Haley buries friend's head. Haley feels the sun for the first time in 13 years. Haley vows to live on for friends.

I just got another book idea and i have no idea what genre it is besides absolutely emotionally devastating

I'm on cloud nine. This author journey is one I will never forget. That was so surreal.

“Dutary’s debut novel, which kicks off a series, places a refreshingly complex protagonist at the helm.” I was ready for Kirkus to hurt my feelings, but every word was glowing! It’s so amazing to see so many people love these characters ❤️ Goodreads and preørdêr 🔗s in bl0
