I finished writing my second novel! #amwriting #amediting #amquerying

There’s a very specific kind of pain that comes from knowing exactly what’s about to happen in your own story… and still not being able to stop it. #amwriting #amediting #authorscommunity

Ha! I’m not smart enough to write a murder mystery. I think I’m just going to give it away midway through the book! 😆

Not those three although I love me some romance, alien invasion, and corporate takeover! Hahaha.

What do you think it’s about?

My second novel is set in this old college campus somewhere in Montreal. 🤍 #amwriting #amediting #amquerying

I’ve learned that when character development feels dangerous, suspense usually takes care of itself. Plot can be planned; interior lives can’t. The outline tells me where I’m going, but the excavation tells me what it’s going to cost.

Literary fiction! 🥰

I thought I had planned a solid outline for my next novel. Turns out I was conducting a psychological excavation with no safety gear. #amwriting #amediting #authorcommunity

I wrote this book for anyone who’s ever felt like they were drowning in silence.

💛 WHEN BLUE TURNS YELLOW is more than a story, it’s a lifeline.

When you’re supposed to be writing your thesis for your PhD in Literature but end up falling in love instead. #amwriting #amediting

My second novel is about beauty, decay, obsession, death, and also I think there’s a dinner party scene somewhere in chapter 6.

100%! Editing is a challenge for me as well. Sometimes, I’d rather write than edit. 🥲

There’s something so tender about editing your own words—like looking back at your past self and gently saying, “Let’s try it this way.”

I am going to work so hard at own pace, being a nobody, thinking, writing, more and more intensely, with more and more intention, and not merely dreaming ego-safe, about the magnificent writer I could be. #amwriting

Almost done editing. The novel is no longer mine, it’s becoming itself.

#amwriting #amediting #writerscommunity

Just rediscovered 2 forgotten drafts from 2021—a literary fiction and a witchy urban fantasy. Now I’m also working on a brand-new literary fiction. That makes 3 novels in progress at once. How many are you juggling right now? #amwriting #amediting #MSWL #WritingCommunity

I’ve begun sketching the first bones of my second novel, and there’s a dangerous sort of exhilaration in watching it take shape, like stumbling upon a secret manuscript in a forgotten library, its words steeped in the shadowed hush of dark academia. #amwriting #writerlife #MSWL

Thank you, kind sir! See you! ✨

100%!!! Thank you so much! 💖✨

Indeed!!! ✨💖

There’s nothing like editing and stumbling across a scene so beautiful I almost can’t believe I wrote it. It melts my heart every time. #amquerying #amediting #amwriting #MSWL

Sometimes I reread a sentence I wrote and think: Nobel Prize. Then I reread the next one and think: community college creative writing workshop, night class, failed draft. #amwriting #amquerying #MSWL

Hi fellow authors! Is there anyone using Scrivener? What’s your experience? Any pros and cons? #authorscommunity #amwriting

Manifesting a full request from an agent using only the first line of my book:

Every time I cut 3 words in editing, I add 400 more as emotional compensation.
