Stopped querying and now doing massive rewrites to the manuscript. Adding a new POV and eliminating 2-3 characters. I may be crazy, but I’m looking forward to making the story darker and my FMCs more badass.

Had every intention of writing today since I took today off work for just me. Instead I have gotten Christmas shopping done for the tiny human in my life and brother in law.

Trying to figure out which of Taylor Swift’s new songs fit the characters of the book I’m going to start writing soon and right now The Fate of Ophelia is the winner. #writersky #writingcommunity #taylorswift

While I am in the querying trenches I am planning/working on a few projects. Both involve the tarot. I like to get into the heads of my characters and do actual readings as if it’s for them. This is for a character and will feature in the story I’m working on.

I began making a sourdough starter over the weekend. I’m on day 3. Can’t tell if I’m doing it right, but I’m enjoying the process. This is Clara Dough.

I added this gorgeous edition of Dante’s Inferno to my small collection of books I’m using for ✨research✨. I am truly in love with the cover and creating my own version of Hell.

While querying I’ve been outlining writing projects. I’ve been planning a historical fantasy (maybe romantasy?) for a few months now. Its outline and character/setting info are all safely in this book. It’s not even written and I already love this story.

Finishing up the outline for the story I’m working on and my MMC is now pictured in my head as Lin Manuel Miranda due to rewatching the Hamilton performance at the Tony’s. I am not even a little sad at that either.

I hate when I think I preordered a book only to realize that I in fact did not preorder it. I swear I remember ordering Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil forever ago.
