My (not very cool) writing space! I love my WFH desk (directly to the left of the pic), but after 8 hours a day there all I want is to flop on my giant beanbag

My really cool writing space that doubles up as my WFH desk during the week (and often looks messier than that). #WritingCommunity

I got a query rejection today that was actually personalized! I thought that only happened for fulls these days. Really grateful for the agent's feedback—I was starting to doubt my query letter worked at all

Got some pointed but accurate feedback on my query letter for Mixing Magic and was discouraged enough I didn't touch it for a week. Happy to say I revised it again last night, and it is SO much better!

Stardust x Pan's Labyrinth Silena fell from the sky to the dark forest, where the wolf-boy saved her. Now she dreams of a home she doesn’t remember, trying to find a way back. But there’s a monster lurking in the forest, seeking to devour her light #youdeservepit #MG #Fantasy

"It crouched on the tongues of the yellow-eyed coyotes gathered atop a boulder, their plaintive cries a warning. Nameless and faceless it pricked at Meadow's skin. Nature always knew first." Native American reimagined Alice in Wonderland. #YouDeservepit #YA #Q #RF #Bipoc

AMARI & THE NIGHT BROTHERS x #MG THE MAGICIANS Lillian believes the cure to her big brother's grief is hidden at his old Arts school. She wasn't expecting it to be Mægick. But not recognizing her own grief has consequences. How far will she go to banish the pain? #YouDeservePit

There's a reason magic was silenced. Who will bring it back? The sorceress who will tear down empires, the smuggler with split loyalties who doesn't believe it exists, or the warrior who would die to keep it secret. THE BONE SHARD WAR x THE JASAD HEIR #YouDeservepIt #Q #A #F
Photo collage with a dark aesthetic and reddish and green tones. Top row: A fox stares out from the darkness, one eye visible; a door knocker fashioned like a dragon; an eclipse, the sky is swirling with green tinged clouds. Middle row: A female warrior sits, propped up using the hilt of her sword; a double exposure of a face holding its hands like the scream but it's ghostlike and hard to discern the gender; a catacomb tunnel with a man holding a torch of fire; a strange unusual formation of rocks against the night sky with stars visible. Bottom row: a murky dark forest with twisted limbs and green atmostphere; the profile of a woman, long hair loose, she's in silhouette surrounded by darkness.
