I ended up not submitting Loving Her Princess to SmoochPit; I submitted a different manuscript under a different pen name. I think this was the best call! Who's applied or planning to apply to SmoochPit?

what's fueling this R&R? - venti iced caramel macchiato - venti iced pumpkin spice latte, with only 4 pumps of syrup - cans of bubly sparking water - quesadillas

my partner is so supportive of all my dumbassery. maintaining multiple pen names? thinking about vlogging? querying one pen name, indie publishing another? it makes no sense, but they're supportive anyway. so thanks 💙

What pet would you have if you were in LOVING HER PRINCESS? A. foxena (three-eyed fox, smells like your favorite thing) B. lupinot (antlered fae wolf, sounds like human singing) C. kestre (winged cat, makes biscuits *in the air*) D. microdragon (literally just a tiny dragon, I love them so much)

me: *sends one singular email* me: and now we wait patiently bc everyone runs on a different schedule and it's presumptuous to assume they'll see it immediately ... also me: *refresh refresh refresh refresh refr--*

I am so bad at relaxing. What's your preferred method to reset?

Game: Summarize your WIP as badly as possible! *** lady knight writes mediocre poetry for princess, gets fake engaged about it

quick pronouns update: she/her/hers, fae/faer/faers. thanks for being here with me.

you know what would make today better? another sticker for my emotional support water bottle.

LOVING HER PRINCESS features... - lesbian romance in a cozy fantasy setting - princess x knight - best friends to lovers - fake relationship - warrior poet - fantastical animals - complicated relationships with religion - spice 🌶️ - HEA 🌈💜 #lesfic 🧡🦄📚 #sapphfic #amquerying

I have a headshot now!!

my WIPs and Concepts spreadsheet is 73 rows deep. Do I have a problem?

I should probably figure out an author site. sighhh

- CURRENT WIPs STATUS - Revising for query trenches: Loving Her Princess In progress but on hiatus: The Queen's Champion (BONUS: LHP has three possible sequels, and there's a few secret ideas in my WIPs and Concepts spreadsheet!)

I currently use a logo as my "face" on my social media. If I switch to a headshot, will you still know who I am?

How are we doing today?

I am offering flat rate editing services with expedited turn around times until the end of October. If you have any immediate editing needs and you're on a tight budget, I am available for hire. You can sign up for either service through my website. Purviswrites.com

After half a year of no words at all, Loving Her Princess is back on the table, getting touched up! I love this lesbian knight/princess fake engaged fantasy romance, and I know there's a home out there for it!

Am I... gonna apply to SmoochPit this year??? 👀

I have a sapphic fantasy romance short story in this antho!

in case you forgot about it (bc I almost did haha)... THE QUEEN'S CHAMPION is my adult lesbian standalone fantasy romance about a queen and her bodyguard. Caitvi-coded, HEA guaranteed.

I've been writing for funsies on non-publishing projects for over two weeks now. save me from myself

so my 18-year-old cat is on wet food now, bc he wasn't eating dry food anymore, and now he just yells. constantly.

How do we feel about A Banh Mi for Two? I picked a copy up and plan to read it after I finish the Locked Tomb books.

I need to work on my R&R today and not just funsies projects. I gotta. I'm determined.

I finally read Gideon the Ninth, and god. jesus christ. rip.

(aggressively turns on my sun lamp)

Life hack: when I order taro tea, I get two: one for the moment and one for the next day. No boba, no ice, no problem.

I'm having a nice day. There, I said it.

Getting rejections in the querying trenches sucks, but I will say it sucks a little less knowing each one means I get to put a new sticker in my querying rejections zine.

Just a friendly reminder for all you overachievers! 🥰 #WritingCommunity #youshowedup #selfcare #selfacceptance #bekind

I need to reorganize the funko pops on my desk to make room for the Vi that's on the way. No regrets.

LEGENDS & LATTES x THE FIANCÉE FARCE Two best friends, Knight Elspeth and Princess Ravenna, team up for a fake engagement to outmaneuver the queen’s machinations. But a surprising counteroffer forces them to choose: their grand plans or each other. #A #F #R #LGBT #Q #BluePit 📖

ARCANE's Caitvi x FROM BLOOD & ASH When commoner Jules saves Queen Madeleine from an assassination attempt by her own bodyguard, Jules takes his job for $. But she's nothing like Madeleine's ever experienced, and neither of them expect the relationship that blooms. #A #F #R #LGBT #W #BluePit 📖

The thing about improving as a creative is that all your previous work just looks worse over time & you’re stuck in an endless cycle of ‘this is my best work yet’ ‘yikes, I’m def better now’ & the grace to love your past self is hidden within the acceptance that stagnation is the death of art. 1/

Neutral plotter for sure!

Post a female character you love.

We're currently in the midst of #CampKickstart with Swords, Sapphics, and Scribbles. (I would @ them but I can never remember their bluesky handle I'm so sorry) How is our creative January going? Feeling like we got a good start to 2025?

My first oracle deck! 13 simple cards, very prettily done.

STOP USING AI FOR YOUR BOOKS IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP STOP USING AI FOR YOUR BOOKS IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP STOP USING AI FOR YOUR BOOKS IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP STOP USING AI FOR YOUR BOOKS IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP STOP USING AI FOR YOUR BOOKS IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP STOP USING AI FOR YOUR BOOKS IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP

The struggle of having a WIPs/concepts spreadsheet with 66 items, and not enough time to write EVERY SINGLE ONE???? rude.

I hope you (yes, YOU) are having a wonderful day!

I'm busy this month, but I always have time to smooch my corgi's forehead and tell her she's the cutest baby.

I hope to reread Breaking Character as well as The Orc and Her Bride!
