With help from my in-house (as in, my house) editor, the first round of edits for my upcoming rom-com has gone back to the publisher! Here's my editor saying, "Look, Karen. You've gotta do better than this."

I'm at the Writing Away Refuge Zoom Pitch Retreat this weekend. So is Catsanova, but he keeps sitting on his mouse.

I lost track of time and nearly missed National Cat Day! OTOH, Chapter 8 is almost done!

Well, I'm glad at least SOMEONE is using this! I'd planned on biking in-between writing chapters🤔

"Janowsky created the literary equivalent of quicksand in "Dear Prudence." Once you're in, good luck getting out. I devoured this romance novel like the rotisserie chickens who meet their demise with my bare hands. I read it in a single sitting and I'm not sorry."

I got to see my childhood home last weekend, and the library where I went to storytime, and then into New Haven for Pepe's famous tomato pie. It's just as good as I remember it. Came home with story ideas. !! ❤️

After a few paw lick swipes over her cheeks, every whisker's in place. Follow my cat for more beauty hacks (but not followed by hairballs).

It's been a hot minute since I've posted! I've been brainstorming ideas for my next rom-com. What are y'all working on? Meanwhile, meet Buttercup 🩷

Catsanova's hard at work making biscuits. I'll be pitching a manuscript this weekend, and he wants me to keep my strength up.
