I just go full Katherine and forget to eat so this is no longer a problem for me 🤣

May I just add that "sapphic" is the most beautiful word in the English language. Full stop.
I can send you a copy if you also need to map out your process. Free of charge.
Ope, sorry I missed the first day. I'm Katherine, I write dark fantasy (with a side of banter because I like to giggle). I would take Stephen King's The Long Walk. Yes, I know it's not fantasy, but it is the first dark weird book I read and I still love it.
I really tried to write in first person but I just... don't have it in me I don't think. I'm not an omniscient girlie. I think I'm just a plain jane Third Limited, and I'm a ok with that <3 Hi ZAI!
Funny map depicting the weird cycles of editing and writing a novel. Peaks and valleys from “this is great” to “oh my did, what did I do.”
As someone who is both deeply type A as well as ADHD, I strongly believe in having a plan in place. I present to you my literal map. Please note, it ends with querying…. After several circles of editing hell.
This is also my curse... third person limited lover over here.
My friends call me Katherine and my enemies call me "that woman with a lot of opinions." I write dark fantasy and currently editing ASHMARKED, which explores the systems that surround us and the things we unknowingly consent to. I'm really excited to meet everyone and get this thing done!
Ope, sorry I missed yesterday. I was editing an obscene amount of "gazes, eyes, and sighs" from my manuscript...
$90k? His reputations is a warm pack of PBR and a crinkly $5 bill.
I really need to remember that this is the internet and not my living room...
I'll be working on cooking up something special for you #CampRevpit peeps. If you signed up, prepare yourself for incoming email matches for Query Letter, 5 pages and Positivity Swaps. But REMEMBER it will take time (days) to send a few hundred emails (scary, I know!) 👻
Yessss, straight into my veins!!!
I am similar. I feel more in the darkness.
Horror. For sure horror. And you don't wanna know...
Ah yes, 6th spring. I know it well...
Yassss SCARella!!!!!
I just kinda hate shows in general these days. Although… I did watch half of The Fifth Element today while folding laundry (sexy, I know). Pretty sure that was because of you 🤣
Oh wow…. The hair, the jaw line? Beautiful!
Update: I ADHD'd too close to the sun and edited three people's queries instead. They call me Katherine: Query Slicer, Woman Who Cuts Words, Lover of Stories, Understander of Irony Because Her Own Query is Too Long But Don't Worry, She Thinks She Fixed It (titles are still being workshopped)
Iiiiiiit's ADVERB TIME! This is how I trick my kids into thinking cleaning is fun... big smiles!
Wrote all the words. Now re-writing all the words but trying to use fewer of them. COOL COOL COOL COOL COOL.
Team Nightcrawlers seems pretty legit, ngl.
What a stupid article to even write. "Rocket ship out flies woman!" I mean... come on now.
You'll be good if you avoid chapters 4, 7, 13, and 25. 😂
YAY TEAM! ... Is it a problem that I write Dark Fantasy? 😅 Emphasis on the dark at times.

#posterpit #A #F #H for fans of Heather Fawcett and T. Kingfisher, Macarons and Monsters follows a neurodivergent anthropology student terrified of fairies who discovers her sweet tooth and self-acceptance in Paris. What will scare her more: eldritch horrors or academia’s systems of oppression?
Or this one 👀
