just noticed a typo in my query letter 😫 feels a bit like the end of the world but best i can do right now is to fix it for future submittals. the human brain is weird how it can correct small errors. i read it aloud, friends and family helped review, and still… being vs begin prevailed #amquerying

Vincent... who almost wasn't a character at all! He was initially supposed to be a throwaway mention in my first chapter, but then my brain accidentally wrote him into a scene and it *worked*. Now he's the supportive, caring, intuitive pal to my two main characters. #GhostPit

autumn 🍂 so special to hike to the same place my husband proposed four years ago

ooops I accidentally started writing a cozy Christmas mystery book and now I’m 9,000 words in 🙈 #booksky

all my friends excitedly texting me about Bad Bunny is all the validation I’ve ever needed as a super fan. me in 2016 sending Soy Peor to everyone I’ve ever meet telling them PLEASE LISTEN would not believe this 😂

some glittery nails for the timeline ✨💙 (Holo Taco - Made Me Ink)

I just unearthed my Lord of the Rings #fanfiction I wrote when I was twelve, and oddly enough, it sparked inspo for my next project. Anyone else hold onto every single art project and story they’ve ever written? 😂

that feeling when your hold comes in after 4 weeks! so excited for the saga to continue #currentlyreading #booksky ⚡️

bought a tiny rose bush from a local farm and he said to expect beautiful pinks and vibrant oranges. they just bloomed and all I can say is WOW! :O

i just got my first FULL REQUEST!! so appreciative to everyone that has sent encouragement my way and listened to me ramble about my query journey. here’s to hoping this could be the one! ☺️ #amquerying #writesky

received a very kind rejection from an agency I was feeling optimistic about. “This was a hard decision as I enjoyed what I read, but the current market is very difficult for Middle Grade Fantasy” keeping my chin up as the feedback was positive! one step closer… #iamquerying #booksky

still querying, still dreaming 🤩 keeping myself busy by diving into another project. it’s funny switching from fantasy to contemporary where you can now reference electricity, sidewalks, and cheeseburgers 😂 #booksky #writingcommunity

My life this past weekend was reading the entire Storm Runner series by J.C. Cervantes. SO. MUCH. FUN. I want to be best friends with every character. If you are a fan of Percy Jackson, you will love this magical journey into Mayan mythology. #booksky

my goal this summer was to create a pollinator garden and I’m pleased to see many happy bees stopping by today ☺️

Manuscript ✅ Let the query journey begin. My dream of having my middle grade fiction novel on the shelves is now one step closer. #booksky

loot from the local library sale 😇 #booksky

some summer reads (and yes, we’ve got a theme here 🌊) #booksky

what’s one thing you WISH you knew when drafting your #queryletter? i am so close to my final draft and looking to start my query journey within the next two weeks 🤩 #booksky #author #writing

when you get a free puzzle and find out that there are only 999 pieces 🤣 #whereismymissingpiece

That feeling when you delete 4,000 words from your manuscript and plop them into your Word Graveyard 💀🥲 #writing #booksky #author
