When you come across a horrible place and the last horrible place seems not so bad.

That last query letter took up all my free time of today. But it's the best yet. Learning a lot from all of this.

Condensing your whole book in single sentence pitch is an art form by itself... 😅

Jak's knowledge about the Shatterbelt—a floating torus of debris, trash and spaceship wreckages around Freeport Station—stems from a crushed childhood dream of joining a scavenger team.

A segment from the sequel I'm drafting.

Captain Verstraete relies on an old-tech exoskeleton—fused to bones, muscles and nerves—to stay mobile.

END OF BOOK ONE

Goosebumps when I got to write that down.

It's official. Final edits are done (until I get a million rejections and am forced to rewrite the whole thing).

On to the next phase.

The opening paragraphs! Rewritten and edited so many times that I'm *almost* tired of reading them 😅

Only 5 chapters to go before #amquerying! Polished 21 of 26 as best I could.

At this rate, I'll be sending out the first letters to #litagents on the 31st, my birthday 😄

Managed to edit 3 chapters this morning, nullifying the lost time of past days 🥳 I can celebrate NYE without feeling stressed I was getting behind on my self-imposed schedule!

7 chapters to go before I finish the final version of my manuscript.

The antagonist in my novel might be cooler than the protagonist. 😅 Loved writing the chapters from his POV and now loving to read and edit them.

This guy needs art.

Yes, the underbelly of the space station has outcast pirate cannibals. Or are they cannibal pirates? Hm...
