My next #WIP might be a fantasy retelling of The Devil Wears Prada. But without the annoying boyfriend. Ever write stories that “fix” ones you wish were different? #writingcommunity #AmQuerying #authorsofbsky

Betrayal and intrigue. Some parts are more fun to write than others, aren't they? #writingcommunity #AmQuerying #WIPSnips
The journey began in silence, and Mira’s senses focused on the sound of clopping of horse hooves and the swaying sensation of the carriage. It was over. She was going to the Citadel to who knows what fate. She thought of her Gran and her mother who had sacrificed so much for her and how she had wasted everything they had given to her. She didn’t even feel the tears streaming down her cheeks as she rested her head on the carriage. And Raelan. I’m so stupid. She couldn’t believe she had misjudged him so completely. That she had been about to volunteer her secrets because she somehow thought he would stand by her no matter what they faced. Well, when someone shows you who they are, you should believe them, she thought. Her face crumpled and she finally released the keening wail that she’d locked inside since they’d taken her. There was no point in hiding anything anymore.

Finished my debut fiction manuscript in February this year and did my first ever round of querying. It was so demoralizing. Took a break, overhauled chapters 1 and 2 and now I'm back at it. Any advice is appreciated!! #AmQuerying #writingcommunity
