I ended up going with something completely different! lol

My outline: this book will be 80k
The WIP: lol

55k in and my characters are making decisions I didn't approve, a talking sword has developed a more charismatic personality than the ex, and sure, let's add a cave troll.

I am no longer in charge.

Sometimes love doesn't conquer all, and you still have to save the world with your "hero" ex and his perfectly floppy brown hair. Dammit...

Comedic Anti-Romantasy (n): a fantasy story centered on the aftermath of a failed relationship.

Because sometimes love doesn't conquer all, and you still have to save the world with your "hero" ex and his perfectly floppy brown hair. Dammit...

I almost missed this one! If you did too, they extended the deadline to February 10th! There's still time to submit your first page for a free critique if selected!! @writingdaywksp.bsky.social Submit here: tinyurl.com/wdwcontest7

Which pitch one-page looks better?

Does it include cinnamon applesauce or just classic?

Thank you!!

Told in the framework of an instructional text, Zoo is a militarized coming-of-age fantasy about a girl discovering she’s a forbidden shifter in a world that weaponizes animals for war.

Dark military fantasy • Academy setting • Beasts vs. empire

SJM meets Grisham

⚖️ A burned-out defender trapped in a contract she can’t leave
🔥 A sharp-tongued enemies-to-? w/a rival prosecutor
🪧"Violent protests," secret tribunals & justice twisted by power
💔Love colliding with loyalty as everything she fights for crumbles

I love when streamers create dueling documentaries. Fyre Festival (Hulu and Netflix), NXIVM (HBO and Starz), and now Titan (Discovery and Netflix). What other dueling documentaries are out there?

Just spent the last 30 days revising this (and moving into a new house and dealing with dog health problems)! Officially sent it back out today!! 🤞 After spending most of my non-working, waking moments editing, it feels weird to just be.

Character commission for @mikalanoe.com‬

A wonder commission has been done and this time its for @mikalanoe.com . They gave me the opportunity to work on their book character and she itself was a blast to work with .

I am flattered to see how it has turned out to be ^^

Took a break in editing and went to my first WNBA game today!

How do you say, in a professional setting: <Not Dated>?

Because saying "I type 'Not Dated' between two alligator mouths" doesn't feel professional

Nearly finished unpacking at the new house and the first room to be completed is my new library/writing room! I’m in love.

The yellow is the before.

From Chapter 2: “She wanted to hug him, to tell him it was all going to be okay, that sometimes the system works for people who need help; but it doesn’t, so she couldn’t.”

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs.

(“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

I bought a house today!!! As someone who never thought she’d be able to because of her student loans, it feels very surreal!

I woke up to an email this morning that has added excited book anxiety to my already nervous house-buying anxiety. I'm a ball of anxiety!! 🧶

#WritingCommunity - what is your best advice when approaching a revise and resubmit?

"Today is not the day for an anxiety attack." lol It's the first line of my story and everything you need to know about my MC's mental state.

#litagents, updated #agentguide! #A #F

When magic suddenly appears in the walled city of Portmere, a tenacious young defense attorney fights a ruthless government crackdown - risking her career, her sanity, and her very freedom - to defend its people and ensure magic's survival.

Thank you! It's becoming more relevant daily and that is kind of scary!

Hi #CRPfireflies! I'm Mikala. I'm currently querying an adult genre mashup (fantasy/legal drama) examining how a government uses fear to consolidate power, told from the perspective of two opposing attorneys. I'm from Kentucky, USA and work as an attorney doing real estate compliance.

I'm supposed to be closing on my house Friday and I have several fulls out - to say I have a TON of anxiety this week is an understatement! Nothing is working as a distraction!

Thank you for this!!!!

I got an agent like on that other social site!

Image shows the close-up of a young woman laying amongst plants in a jungle. Her mouth and upper chest spattered in blood, though no wounds are visible. Text is as follows: A Film by Alex Baker Gwen Dale as Wendy Darling Roseline Rivière as Capt. Hook Enemies to Lovers Butch/Femme Pairing Pan-pires & Pirates Spicy Sapphics Hurt & Comfort Support Women's Wrongs "An Education in Malice X Peter Pan" - Movie Reviewer FOREVER IS A VERY LONG TIME What Really Happened After Neverland

Once Gwen was called Wendy. She was promised love. All she lost was her humanity.
Once Hook was called Rosie. She was promised adventure. All it cost was her family.
Together, maybe a cranky immortal & a smug pirate can find a thing they didn’t know was missing.
