Suppose there’s better ways and times to do this … but I’ve never been good at announcements.
I’m going to be pursuing indie/self publishing for my YA novel Kids Can Be Cruel! I’m so excited to get this book about a middle school fight club and the kids in it to all of you by March next year

I never posted this here, but this is a commission I got from @ennuikal.bsky.social ! It’s Maria again — struggling with game controls that aren’t keyboard and mouse.

And that’s a wrap! Sorry for bugging any of you with those copycat posts the last couple years. No matter the outcome of this publishing journey, the nature of my posting will change soon (tm). Hopefully in a more engaging way… or at least a way that feels less soul-crushing on my end.

When Maria’s friend disappears, the 13-year-old rebel must enter the local middle school fight club below town and beat up her classmates for answers. She will face the worst that suburban NE Ohio can throw her way — if the rich transfer student doesn’t do her in first.

Hate to beg, but tomorrow is another pitch event. I’d really appreciate it if one of my posts banged and got an agent like
… and if not, then that just means I’m done trying trad publishing for a while. Been at this two years, nothing to show for it. May go all in on indie soon.
We’ll see.

Unbelievable atrocities posted on the other website every day. I know it’s far from representative of real people’s morals and interests, but it’s hard to keep viewing it without losing faith in my fellow man.
That’s it. Send tweet. No silver lining today.

Ok wow the last post was almost a month ago.
I think I’ll start posting trivia about my querying project
(And try not to clout-chase too much in the meantime lol)
So fun fact 1:
The khaki cargo pants and dark windbreaker combo here are close what I typically wore back in my Catholic school days.

When Maria’s best friend disappears, she digs deep for answers — under her Ohio hometown’s streets and the long-standing adolescent fight club there. Her opponents in the octagon may hold the answers. If only she didn’t make enemies with the transfer rich girl.

KIDS CAN BE CRUEL
Her best friend is missing, maybe forever.
Her hometown’s secrets are coming to light.
Her legal guardian is making her hang out with the new kid.
Maria Nievez feels desperate, so when her middle school’s underground fight club offers answers, she joins the fray.

Y’know, I was really hoping to make this my main account when I first began posting here. I swear, I was!
But I’ve got not much of anything new for any of you right now.
If I have my way, tomorrow’s gonna be a day of reposting.
Fair warning.

Hey woah haven’t used this app in a while. Should really post more.
Too busy doomscrolling on the other site.
Too busy looking through threads about an alleged 1/6000 rate of successfully getting literary agent rep.
Might just be a janitor forever :^)
