That's actually the focal point of my current wip "The Strings of Willis Manor"!
The MC has a chronic illness that nobody can explain or diagnose. She'll randomly have a violent attack that causes her to vomit up bits of her guts. It leaves her fatigued for days afterwards

I've said this a couple times in interviews lately but it's annoying that the lesson publishing will take away from this isn't "invest in more specific, niche, and/or weird books that cater to an under-served readership." It'll be "MORE SPORTS" bc that's a variable they can quantify.
I wrote about how Heated Rivalry is just the latest case of how publishers, with all their data, are still not able to predict what will be the next sensation. lithub.com/get-ready-fo...
Get Ready For Publishing to Chase the Heated Rivalry Phenomenon
Heated Rivalry mania has swept the world, and it’s been so fun to watch the stars of the TV series becoming A-list celebrities while the books upon which the show was based hit the bestseller list …

It's been about a million years since I did a #WipSnips, but I was so excited for the word today.
This scene goes on for a bit longer, and it's one of my favourites in my story. Just two queer people trying to figure stuff out.

I loveee talking about this!!
My main two comps for "From the Sea Fret" are:
OLD WOUNDS (book) - struggling with internalized transphobia/learning to love your trans self, and humans are monsters too.
THE LIGHTHOUSE (movie) - isolated seaside madness and weird ocean shit.

I think I would pass away if someone made fanfiction of the media I made/worked on.
Creativity is so intrinsically human, and to INSPIRE someone else? Ough my heart wouldn't survive. I'd cry and be crushed by the love of community.

My only goal for this coming week is to not put any pressure on myself. I have a decent amount of projects that I want to work on, and I don't want to burn out.
I'm gonna try to stick to the mantra that whatever I get done is good enough.

I'm just wicked unfocused. I'm getting a decent amount done but it's scattered all over the place. I'm used to working on one project at a time, because I'm usually only inspired to work on one at a time, so having multiple inspirations is... different.

I am drastically swinging between spiteful optimism and melancholic pessimism.
Very much ping-ponging between two extremes, and one is more helpful than the other, but I've been able to get things done despite this.

Writing has been relatively okay, but quite unfocused.

Due to the continued silencing of LGTBQ+ (and specifically trans) authors by the publishing industry, I'm looking to self publishing more and more.
I know that there are good presses, and good people in trad pub, but I'm growing more uneasy.
