#QuestPit An atypical rock star ashamedly wants another opportunity to become a parent after the loss of his miracle baby; however, the miracle baby was his love’s last chance, and if he chooses one, he gives up the other. #Q #A #WF Deep Cuts X Everything After X The Rom-Commers

Need vs. Want. Eli wants to be a dad. Gettie needs him to admit it. He won’t because she can no longer conceive, and getting what he wants means giving up Gettie. Choosing means losing. #QuestPit #Q #A #WF Deep Cuts X Everything After X The Rom-Commers

Let’s ride! Maybe it will drown out his grief and sadness. Or make him forget another loss. It probably won’t make that selfish desire for fatherhood fade. It definitely won’t replace the love of his life. But fu¢k it. It’s worth a try. #PosterPit #Q Deep Cuts | Everything After | The Rom-Commers

The phrase “The Greater Good” irked Gettie. It promised loss. And in this situation, she was the one losing. First, the baby. Then another chance. Now Eli. But some loves, even the best ones, must be sacrificed for the greater good. If you love something… #PosterPit #Q Deep Cuts | Everything After

Pitch exhaustion? Try #UnHingedPit. A laugh a day. Yada. Yada. Side effects may include thumb swelling, eye strain, split sides, headache, nausea, and death. Until the pill kicks in, my book’s about the choice a man faces after his baby dies and his love can’t have another. #WTF? I mean #WF

Amidst the unrest at Woodstock 99, Gettie forges a pact with Ray, the guitarist who fell offstage and onto her. He'll protect her from the beer-buzzed bros, and she'll ensure that tripping balls remains memorable for all the right reasons. Falling for each other wasn't part of the deal. #QuestPit #W

And so this is Christmas. And potentially the visual metaphor of my querying journey.

#QuestPit She knows his secret—wanting to be a dad. She can’t give it to him, so she lets him go. But when she’s seen with that other guy, he questions what his wish truly is. And realizes what he already has. Family. #WF #BC #AR Deep Cuts X Everything After X And Just Like That

Querying is brutal so I’m writing for my mental health and serializing a story as exclusive content for my newsletter subscribers. I’m as jazzed about the banner art as much as the story. (🕸️ 🔗 in bio)

Psst. Did you know cancer is a disability with 20M diagnoses made a year? Fiction featuring characters who die outnumber those who survive. Let’s change that. Scars, Cars, and a Rock Star features Gettie, an external thriver, yet internal hot mess, navigating love after breast cancer. #DVPit #WF

Does anyone else feel like wishing someone “good luck” comes across snarky and disingenuous these days? Like it’s been ruined by sarcasm.

I won an award. Got the VP for Regional Campuses and Online Education to flash the sign of the horns with me. Such a fun event, even without the award. 🤘🤘

Y’all! I just got followed by, not one but two, Elon Musks. They’re multiplying! If I can get one more, I can play a bot shell game.

#litagents #amquerying LA wasn’t Gettie’s only potential market for artist representation. But it was the one her heart was set on. The rocker on her SoCal flight fell hard and fast, his heart set on her. But baggage gets heavy, art is subjective, and love doesn’t conquer all. #A #C #R #WF #BC

Congratulations to all the #RevPit winners and runner-ups! While I had no expectation of being a winner, I won’t lie. I totally scanned for my name. To all the editors and first readers, your time is appreciated and valued. Thank you. Until next time, it’s back to the grind.

#amquerying The flight wasn’t supposed to change Gettie’s life. Acing her interviews and bagging gallery representation was. Seat 4B shared her need to kill germs. Eradication led to banter and TMI. TMI led to intimacy. Intimacy led to the thing too hard to abandon if her dream didn’t land.

The hardest part about the querying process is the conflicting advice. Anyone old enough to remember how eggs were advertised as healthy and then they were the worst thing you could eat and then they were good again? Querying feels like that. #RevPit #10queries

I had fun crafting my #UnhingedPit. It was a last minute decision but worth the hour to flex the marketing muscles. I browsed the hashtag this morning. I can see how hard it is for #litagents to make decisions. The sheer volume! Whoa! Y’all are a bunch of crafty pants. Great job!

BREAKING NEWS: Lucky to be alive. Famed frontman for Fifth and the Shots, Eli Anders, was the victim of a violent crash while riding his motorcycle last evening in Ocean Park. The band’s manager asks fans to respect his privacy as he recovers in this difficult time. #UnhingedPit #Q#A#WF#R

Really, Joann? Come experience our death rattle and get discounts on the bones not picked clean. RIP, girl. You’ll be missed. 💔

Love this idea and the haunting design of @myleejmiller.bsky.social. Wondering if concert posters count?
