An underprivileged girl must overcome long-held biases to prove herself as a Lily Maid, perfume magic ambassadors, but her predecessor’s death threatens all that she desires, and she fails to outdo the former Lily’s loveliness. #Questpit #Q #YA #F

Is anyone participating in writing 50,000 words next month? I know NaNoWriMo is over, but I love how fired up the writing community is in November.
I've been wanting to write a cozy fantasy for some time, and I think it'll be a lot of fun.

Zipporah, a hapless idealist, follows her dreams to be a Lily Maid, beautiful ambassadors of enchanted perfumes known to make the most insipid irresistible, down a path that leads to more prejudice and deception surrounding the death of a former Lily than she bargained for. #DVpit #YA #F #BVM

I'm technically working on two new stories. One of them is a cozy fantasy and the other is fantasy romance. Both are YA because I adore YA.

After tinkering with my YA gothic fantasy, I'm feeling the love again. But now I'm working on two projects, which I've never done before. The second is a YA cozy fantasy. I know I'm going to have to choose which to focus on.

I posted this video on Instagram a week ago. It's a quote from an old WIP, plus a look at its Pinterest board.
What do you think? I still haven't cracked the code on Insta. It's a real struggle.

##CRPGlasswings An aesthetic for my YA fantasy that I'm currently revising.
I don't have a pitch that's short enough to include in this post yet, but I have shared a longer one in the past.

I've finally settled on my YA gothic as my next WIP. The other option was a cozy fantasy I spent a few minutes brainstorming, but ultimately the gothic will be a good follow up to my current YA fantasy.
Here's an aesthetic for the YA gothic.

Trying my best with Instagram, but it's still a struggle. At times I need to remind myself that as a writer writing should come before content creation.

I've also been trying to create more content for my story The Lily Maid. Creating content is so fun but oh so exhausting at times. Here's a reel I created recently. What do you think?
BTW, thank you for showing my posts so much love, especially today. 😉❤️

I can tell someone’s status by their perfume. A birthright in all Vespery where anyone, if they have a nose that can smell even a whiff, the scent of a wealthy woman’s fragrance could follow them well into their dreams.
Dreams marked by perfume magic.

Writing by hand isn't so bad. I just wish my handwriting wasn't so terrible. So far, I've written four pages, and I've worked out how to end the chapter. I have one chapter left in this first draft and I'm getting antsy.

Currently working on a big scene in my YA fantasy WIP, a masquerade ball. Sometimes it takes me a while to get fully settled in a scene, but once I am the flow is just *chef's kiss*
