"The prince’s inaugural appearance at the autumn leaf event serves purpose: to show Mo the difference in their standing. To force the nobles to see them in contrast and make a public choice of endorsement." - Chapter 24, WHEN INK SWALLOWS THE SUN #WIPSnips

Fading tattoo magic, banished eldritch kin, echoes of the old empire, and a mysterious magical scepter. As cracks shake the empire's core, its skeletons rise—and Muduri, Liyue, Nasurin, and Mo must decide where their loyalties lie in a world on the brink. #PosterPit #Q #F #A

Pro Tip: in Word, under Review, Compare, Combine, you can combine beta comments across multiple files into one document! Saving my life from having to flip through six docs during line edits

Hello all, setting down the #agentsguide of my YA Historical Novel (with a Speculative twist!) for consideration by #litagents and #editors! AFFINITY is my #amquerying project. The 61,000 word novel explores the topics of found family, generational trauma, and racism in 1970s Britain.

Love my non-writer friends but their publishing advice kills me: “You should start a blog! It’ll get agent attention and then you’ll be published” “Write what you want for word count. Standard isn’t one size fits all and storytelling is more important.”

4 types of characters I write: 1. “I’m feeling some kind of emotion and I don’t like it” 2. Charming and perfect but secretly deeply insecure 3. Evil hatred born out of unrequited love (not necessarily romantic love) 4. Extreme idealist who doesn’t realize they’re a villain until the end

A witty schemer plots against her husband and ends up saving the kingdom in a fantasy romcom blend of A SONG TO DROWN RIVERS X HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS ❤️ Multicultural w/ POC leads ❤️ Unlikeable heroine ❤️ Enemies-to-lovers ❤️ Marriage of convenience ❤️ Political intrigue #questpit #W #A #F #R

A #WIPSnips for the word "honey"...

Sausage cat 🤩

Happy Mother’s Day 💖

When I signed up for writing, I didn’t realize there’s also marketing… 🥹🥲
