My very first book is now in the hands of 20 or so renowned publishers to be inspected 😱

It's time to play the waiting game...

Wish me luck! 🤞

I feel like this #knitting story/book is just flowing out of me. I have a yarn shop in a mountain town and friendships are forming and a town contest surrounding an annoyed cat and yes I’m realizing it’s basically Taylor Swift fan fiction but whatever. Write what you know. 🧶 🙃🫶 #firstbook?

Hi, everyone! The story I'm writing is chugging along nicely - I'm at just over 30 pages now, which both seems like a lot and not very much at all. I started this summer, got like three pages in, then set it down until recently. #smallauthor #firsttimeauthor #firstbook #wip
