2024 was a year of a lot of ups and downs for me, and i definitely didn't get as much accomplished as i wanted to writing-wise. but i've found a new favorite writing spot, and i'm very excited about my next project after i finish this draft of murder lesbians, so here's to a more productive 2025 <3
dark green background, text says "2024 stats + 2025 ins & outs". there's a graphic of a typwriter, a collection of books, and a book on its own. background color is the same. text says "writing stats: Words written: 177,485 Projects worked on: 2 Queries sent: 50 Query rejections: 38 Full/partial requests: 10". there's the same graphics as the last slide. background color is the same. text says "ins for 2025: Reading books from the library before I buy them Reading the books I own - I have 87 unread books! Writing what I’m passionate about - not just for the market Regaining my love for writing Spending time with my cat More walks and more audiobooks Loving and cherishing my friends Cooking/baking for myself more." this only has the typewriter graphic. same color, text says: "out with 2024: Basing my self worth on the whims of traditional publishing Getting frustrated with my own writing and just Stopping Shame over silly things Buying books I don’t know I’ll like". this slide only has the single book graphic.

there is not a single thing here that is surprising to me
My Spotify wrapped summary stats. My top artists are, in descending order: lord huron? Florence and the machine, mumford & sons, fall out boy, and 21 pilots. My top songs are, in descending order: secret of life, little lion man, the world ender, good luck babe, and nothing matters. I listened to 67636 minutes of music.

anyone who followed me from twitter has already seen this one, but here's a quick guide to my #amquerying sapphic YA fantasy with:

🖤 doomed lovers
🌟 dead gods
🗡️ knives
🦴 and a whole lot of bones
art on the last slide is by @/calicoture
an agent's guide to emery harlow's guide to knives and necromancy. the background is black, and there are a few gold graphics of a radiating sun, stars, a knife, and a skeletal arm and hand scattered around. there's a moodboard in the center with the following squares: two hands, pinkies linked, one hand skeletal and one flesh. a line of knives. a black square. lots of white flowers against a dark background. art of people reaching toward a golden sun. two hands reaching for each other. a black square. text that says "we do terrible things for the people we love." art of hands reaching toward a beam of light. the pitch: sapphic upper ya fantasy 90k When young necromancer emery harlow’s mistake ends in her sibling’s kidnapping, she sets out to rescue them from her mother’s lifelong rival. what she doesn’t expect is to discover a plot to destroy necromancy, to be hassled by a long-dead god, or to fall for her mortal enemy’s child. The comps: the godly feuds of...(and then the cover of divine rivals by rebecca ross) the snarky humor of...(and then the cover of little thieves by margaret owen) the magical bargaining of...(and then the cover of the first volume of the fullmetal editions of fullmetal alchemist by hiromu arakawa) the characters: this one is a trope graphic with my calicoture art of emery and aria dancing in a field of flowers. the tropes are as follows: doomed from the start (indicates both of them) full time menace, part-time necromancer (indicates emery) nb lesbian li x arospec lesbian mc (indicates both) professional (yet unpaid) nerd (indicates aria) children of lifelong rivals (both)
