Still shaking myself because I can’t quite believe I GOT WREN!!!!! Their brilliant book about hunger, desire and grief blew a hole in my heart and so, naturally, I offered right after finishing it, we had a call that same night, and here we are!!!🔥❤️🔥 squeeeeeeeee

I am so so so SO excited to announce that I am now represented by @jennaschmenna.bsky.social at @stormliterary.bsky.social 🎉🤗 Jenna’s passion and care for my dark and horrible story left me blown away and I can’t wait to work with her on all my future projects (and more 11pm jammie calls)!

Been waiting literal years for this moment… I’m officially entering my vague era. 👀 🎉🥹

An agent’s guide to MARIOTA — a gothic, literary historical fantasy exploring grief, queerness, and the monstrous feminine that I #amquerying. If you’d like to see it in your inbox, interact! 🖤 #WritingCommunity

I’m excited to be slipping slowly back into querying. This is the one!

I'm putting this out there into the universe—I am going to receive an offer of rep this year! 🪼🕯️

You have no idea what I’m cooking

I think I just wrote the most gut-wrenching, tragic, and heartfelt first chapter I've ever penned. Holy. 🥹

I am a little late to this but here is my #FastDraftFeb! 🌌Project: FourWip ☄️Genre: Cosmic Horror Sci-fi something 🌌Status: 1K ☄️Goal: 90K

Well, my baby, my second manuscript, is on the shelf. I still have a couple of fulls out and some queries which I will let do their thing. I had a good response this time but it was always *just* missing the mark. I’m now focusing on my third novel. I will not give up!

Hehe full request! A long time dream agent too! I'm going to melt.

After what felt like an eternity of silence and a few rejections, I finally received another full request! Yay! What a fantastic way to kick off the new year! 🥳🥳🥳

Happy New Years from NZ!

Okay I stopped being a baby and I wrote more lesbians.

I've never cried this much over a submission rejection. My stats are dismal, and it pains me to shelve so many beloved books that no one wants. (Granted it was the sweetest fucking rejection ever!)

I think my flu turned into bronchitis 😩

Exercising my free will to write lesbians is just so fun.

Just wrapped up chapter one of my Terry Pratchett/Joe Abercrombie-inspired fantasy wip! Sent it to my best friend, and she loves it—definitely the boost I needed after a wave of rejections. Lucky for me, I’m stubborn enough to keep going no matter what! 😅

I'm finally diving back into Gideon the Ninth after needing a little break last time. Tamsyn really is such a cool writer. I aspire to be even half as good as she is.

Eeeeee! I just finished my plan for my new wip. I always *try* to plan things out, but they usually go off course in the first quarter. This time, I’ve just planted some key points to hit along the way. Now, it’s time for my favourite part of the process: mulling.

Get you a best friend who says the most poetic shit about your #amquerying novel. 🥹 It’s going to happen for me.

I got that dog in me. (The type of autism that requires me to listen to music every waking moment to block out all other sound.)

Writing sex as an asexual person is so funny oh my god I feel like a goober. 😭

Please. We need more lesbian vampires if we're gonna make it through 2025.

It seems like I'm on a lot of maybe lists lately! :( I really wish I could read the minds of those agents to figure out what might sway them to a yes.

I’ve nearly finished Song of Achilles. Yeah, I get it now. 🥺

I'm still feeling sick, and my sleep schedule has turned completely upside down. But amidst my flu, I managed to plan out a new wip and written plenty of juicy sequel stuff for lesbian vampires! Mehehehe.

QueryTracker looking at me refresh the submissions page for the 500th time in 8 hours.

Hold up guys, I’m manifesting an offer of rep for my bloody, vengeful lesbian vampires.

One of my favourite ways to beat writer's block is to choose a piece of art from Pinterest and write some flash fiction about it as a warm up. After doing that today, I managed to write 5,000 words! I truly love being a writer and creating the stories I wish I had when I was growing up. 🥹

I am so sick I haven’t left bed all day 😣 I will not be accepting rejections until I feel better, thank you. (I’m a baby)

It is nearly 3AM and I have a non-stop cough. I am writing away because I cannot sleep with it. Trying to make the best of a bad thing! The fictional lesbians will save me!

😭🫶

One of my favourite pieces of dialogue from my #amquerying “horromantasy” MS. 🕯️✨❤️

Sent off my full (after re-reading it out of fear). I love it so much. I hope they love it too! 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️

The agent who requested my partial just asked for the full and followed me on X I’m gonna scream SHE’S SO COOL ACT COOL GUYS 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️😭😭😭😭 !!!

Going to bed knowing I wrote some really cool shit and I’m gonna make it some day.

Writing a banger sentence and just sitting there looking like this at the document

“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” –Toni Morrison

I have written a big lesbian monster. I have written a big lesbian vampire. Now, I am writing a big lesbian demon. I will collect them all! 😈

I will get an agent. I will get an agent. I will get an agent. I will get an agent. I will get an agent. I will get an agent. I will get an agent. I will get an agent. I will get an agent. I will get an agent. I will get an agent. I will get an agent. I will get an agent. I will get an agent. I will

REQUEST!!!!! EEEEEEEEEP I LOVE THIS AGENT WITH ALL MY HEART YIPPEEEEEE

What do we do when two books are out in the trenches? We write a third one of course. 😮‍💨

I love my big lesbian vampire that's covered in blood all the time and gives Lestat energy

The only book that should burn is project 2025

I'm reading Pandora by Anne Rice and I literally cannot get over how strange Pandora is. I like this weird freak. She's so cool.
