WIP: Project Clover 📝 Outline 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜
✅ Project Thistle 🛒 Querying
If you need me, I'll be studying the ancient texts to solve this bullshit.

✨TENSION✨ only it's me and QueryTracker watching my favorite agent reject queries ahead of mine, getting closer and closer...

My pursuit for a spoonie friendly diet 🤝 My husband's culinary creativity

We call it Chronic Kitchen Chronicles

1 toddler nap, 1 hockey team loss, and 2 hours later I've cut over 1,000 words from my WIP.

In the first 5 chapters. Goddess, help me.

According to beta readers, my top crutch word in Project Thistle?

Smirk 😏

I don't agree with banning any book, but if you're going to try, it should be mandatory to submit a high-school level book report on C-SPAN on it before you can propose a ban.

Outlining book two over some sushi. You know, as a treat.

(Is this how plotting works? Sincerely, a pantser who is trying)

My goblin brain wants to activate floor troll mode for outlining, but my chronic pain would punish that decision with prejudice. Where's the VR version of outlining already??

#1 is a personal attack. Stay away from me and my emotional support shelf trophies, okay?
Here is a not-complete list of things you can do this weekend instead of being on the internet:

1. Read a chapter in a book you bought four years ago
2. Pick up the garbage in your house. Put the garbage outside.
3. Pick up all of the dishes in your house and put them in the dishwasher.

Night off from the book? No, no. You mean make a canon playlist that is referenced in the pages. Certainly, that's what you meant, right?

Collecting agents to query like the autistic I am. Gather, categorize, put them on a shelf to admire. Touch? Noooooo. Only look.

Writing with ADHD is weird. Like sometimes I bust out 2,000 words in a few hours that need no editing, but other times I get tired just opening my doc.

First query rejection on the books for Project Thistle. Form letter, but quick turn around.

Am I a real author now?

Hey you know how Christmas was only 2 weeks ago and not 7 months ago?

I'm gonna go rewatch comfort shoes until February, thanks.

Finding a possible comp only to realize it had JUST been delivered to my Libby is 🤌🏼 ✨perfection✨

So because I don't want current events, tech news, or political content Bluesky has resorted to giving me ....

Birds.

My feed is full of fucking BIRDS.

You know what, imma just wait for Jan 20 for the trash here to take itself out. Then I'll be with my people
January 9, 2025 at 2:19 PM
I find it very telling that on Bluesky when you say "I'm not interested in this post" it doesn't disappear from your feed.

Pretty sure that button is the SM equivalent of the "close doors" button on an elevator
