THE FUNHOUSE To earn freedom from a floating city that abandoned the world below, a "Hexed" prisoner named Sangre must descend into the monster-infested ruins of the old world to hunt the very beasts that nearly destroyed it Iron Widow X The Blighted Stars #sciencefantasy

I don’t know what I’m going to do, but I’m going to do something

First time setting a deadline for myself lets see if it really pushes me or not..

One of my bookish red flags is dog-earing the pages (and yes, I dog-ear my pages 😭)

Imagine my embarrassment when maintenance walked in to change my air filter at 7 AM, right as my forgotten fish sticks set off the fire alarm…

✅ Finish my chores - Write all night!!

Finally got to writing the chapter that started it all!

I need to read more

I think it would be really unfair if I hit success with my writing when there’s so many others doing exactly what I do to

I love a quirky funny love interest

Two more weeks and I’m FREE from the worst contract I’ve ever made on my writing journey!

No one’s forcing me to admit this but one time I wrote for so long not only did I write a complete 50k word first draft but I bruised my tailbone

I asked my agent what the next steps were and she told me to just self publish??? Uhh what? Is this normal?

The most moving writing is always going to be a fanfic written by some high schooler but you all aren’t ready to talk about that yet

FUEL MY ADDICTION!!

Almost a month later and I felt like this is still more relevant then ever LOL

Writing is my hobby…I don’t have to force myself to do it, I don’t avoid it…I just enjoy it

I keep seeing people wanting something new in fantasy but the second I propose my blood bending baddie that is sent to the old world to contain the beasts it’s all “oh you’ve taken it too far”

Didn’t know today was going to be a double rejection sort of day..🥲
