Hi! So excited to meet everyone! I'm in the query trenches with my dark portal romantasy. Then I'm also working on getting my cozy monster romance, The Peculiar Love of Eccentric Creatures, ready to query soon.

Diet Coke and black tea are my go-to drinks.

Dr. Grant is remiss I turned my computer off after he kept pouncing on it.

Hey would love to join if it's not too late!

This little guy gave us quite a scare and his health deteriorated fast.

Thankfully after a couple days at a pet hospital and an amazing doctor treating his symptoms before we had a positive FIP test, our little baby has bounced back.

So thankful. Only eleven more weeks of meds to go 🙏❤️🐱

Ah love the colors, too cute! I got my babies around the same time. They grow quick.

Back at you friend!!

My writing groups and my best writing friend. Query trenches, revpit. We're in it together, from the lows to getting requests in the same week. Look at us doing all the things ♥️

I just got beta feedback on my romcom that made me misty-eyed. I'm not sure what I love more—making readers laugh, cry, or other feelings that romance writers are known for 😂

Editing it now, while another project is with my developmental beta, just hoping to improve and forge my path.

Congratulations!! Both were great, but I was rooting for yours as a fellow monster writer who also loves macarons.

Ahh, I made it to the next round! My little shadow blob monster man would be thrilled. ♥️ Cozy monster romance forever ♥️😺

These are both so good, it was hard to pick. I'd definitely read both.

I'm all caught up on The Pitt. What am I supposed to watch now 😭

Working my real job, editing my romcom, reading and meeting with beta group. Doing all the things today while these two chill. Cat life. 🐾🐈

I'm thrilled to be nominated! I played with this title a lot, but "peculiar" + "eccentric" just clicked, and it's still my favorite. Cozy monster romance forever ♥️

Ahh, I'm so excited! My little monster man would be thrilled to be nominated.

Ah, I love both!

Voted! So fun!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful reply! So helpful!

At what point is a manuscript ready to query vs. being over-edited? Any advice on when writers should stop revising and just go for it?

Sometimes things hit you all at once. I knew who the lead would be for my monster sequel, but officially starting it feels like coming home.

In the car line at my kid's school or driving to the drug store. Not great timing either way 😆

Trying to write through a migraine brewing, but my new kitty says today is a rest day.

So cute!!
