I remember someone saying that's how you know AI can never truly be a writer. If you tell AI to stop using em dashes, it'll stop. If you tell a writer to stop using em dashes they'll tell you to fuck yourself and that you can pry them from their cold, dead fingers.

Designing my author website. Slightly surprised how much I am enjoying this.

My kiddo wanted to watch The Wild Robot last night.
I was emotionally destroyed the rest of the evening. What a beautiful movie! No wonder she loved the book so much!

You want your MC to not be able to ignore their inner demons--so you want to throw all the external conflict you can at them so that their internal conflict is triggered by it throughout the story because of the intensity of both.

Being on sub means refreshing your email 5,000 times a day and snatching up your phone on the 1st ring in hopes that it is your agent. Le sigh.
Perhaps starting another project will fill the time...

Loved the pitch events last week. It's so nice to see all the fellow writers hype each other up and supporting all the amazing manuscripts out there. Can't wait for the next one!

PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION X THE KISS QUOTIENT
When Reese escaped her toxic ex, she had no idea joining the crew of the World Cruise meant swinger passengers, rocky seas, tipsy tourists, crew drama, K-pop stars, and one grumpy guitar player she just cant stay away from.

Reese’s goals as a crew member of the world cruise:
1. Escape toxic relationship
2. See the world
3. Find herself
4. Stay away from the rude (but hot) guitar player
5. Don't get attacked by a seagull... again.
How did her life go from STRONGER to BAD BLOOD to LOVE STORY?

Travel romance should be its own genre. It's all I want to write right now 😭

After a death in the family, I took a step back from the writing scene for a few months.
I finally feeling ready to dive back into the #writingcommunity that I've missed so much ❤️

Got a rejection this week because my manuscript was too commercial. That was a first. They liked it a lot though. 🤷♀️
I keep telling myself that it only takes one!
