just speed ran the 5 stages of grief while reading my first draft #writingcommunity

weekly self-reminder:

#amwriting a new thing 🐆

#amquerying authors whose stories have darker themes- as one of you, I've received several query passes specifically citing the dark theme as the reason for the pass. I know it isn't for everyone, and that's okay. But it's made me wonder /🧵

Multiple query rejections in a row. Inner critic:

light some candles for me pls 🕯️

New plan for submission rejections unlocked #writingcommunity #amquerying

Is it just me or is Pinterest coming on reallyyy strong lately? Like yes, I did click that picture, but it’s not the only thing I ever want to see again. I’m here to think I’m finding all these great images via my artistic prowess and superior taste. Don’t ruin the illusion, bestie. Less is more. 🫶

Does this meme make me look old? Don't care!

I regret to inform my writing goals that I just spent two hours looking at vintage cream and sugar sets on etsy (but highly recommend nippon porcelain if you're looking for a good time)

We are so excited to bring you #Cupit a pitch event for Romance works that will take place on Valentine's Day (February 14) every year. Check out the Rules and the list of genres and age ranges below. Agents, Editors, and Publishers are welcome to participate. WIP - Published works arez welcome.

I wasn't able to be as active during #2025pit as I wanted, but I saw some great pitches and added to my growing TBR. 👀 Thank you for the support! And dang, I just really love coming up with new ways to pitch my story.

For clarity on upcoming pitch events, here's a graphic. #Bluepit #P2Ppit #2025pit #YouDeservePit #MiseryPit #QuestPit #CuPit

not me scrambling to prep for another pitch event

kind of hate how my heart still skips a beat every time I get an email #amquerying

Bumping for the afternoon #P2Ppit crowd

#P2Ppit thread if you're looking for a vampire romance that feels like this:

NINTH HOUSE x EMILY WILDE Vampire x Human Forbidden romance x People who don't care Old movie glamour x Dark academia We are both pretty awful already x We could make each other worse #P2Ppit #Q #A #F #R #RF

Our heroine may not have any childhood memories or healthy coping mechanisms, but what she does have is a growing fascination with the fangs of the vampire lord she's spying on and no sense of self-preservation. #P2Ppit #Q #A #F #R #RF

She was supposed to spy on the vampire lord, not fall for him. Whoops? #P2Ppit #Q #A #R #F #RF

Oof. Full request rejection never gets any easier. Time to bring back my favorite mantra:

7️⃣ Days To #P2Ppit 📆 2025’s first pitch event! We are excited! ✨The writer’s Q&A party before the main event is on the 15th, so mark your calendars! ✨See the post below for the list of literary agents who will be participating! #WritingCommunity #writersky path2pub.wordpress.com/p2ppit-path2...

Reading some of my unfinished WIPs from high school has made me feel so tender toward the version of myself who wrote them; even in the cringe-inducing moments, I feel connected to her and know she's cheering me on as I continue to chase our dream of being a published author. #amquerying

dusting off my wip after the holidays and this is the vibe:

I feel like I must be doing something right if this is what pinterest is suggesting for the board of the novel I #amquerying

Excited to share my #litagents guide for the first time on this platform! The adult romantic fantasy novel I #amquerying is NINTH HOUSE x EMILY WILDE with a healthy pour of gothic vibes and a vampire lord who falls first. 🥂

Holy shit they did it
