Okay I’ve been MIA for a good year because ✨life✨ and due to certain circumstances, I am looking to self publish and quickly. So out of desperation to not get stalled on hours of internet research, what does one need in terms of creating a digital book cover 😬 (please don’t try and sell me anything)

#UnhingedPit #A #R #Q Hi Agents Ok, yeah, there’s a lot of spicy romcoms out there BUT All of my beta readers got pregnant whilst reading mine… So, that’s our marketing hook, right? This book will basically sell itself.

#UnhingedPit #A #R #Q This took as long to make as it did to write the book - a 90k spicy romcom *ahem* When fate keeps pushing a hot man into your life but you don’t want him (ok, you kind of do but not really)
Ok ok ok I think I’ve finished the first draft of my second book (internal screaming) Obvs I’ll noodle around with it and change it a lot But stage one is ✨done✨ and I can’t quite believe I’ve managed to do this for a second time?! #writingcommunity
Ok, it’s not writing related, but I just had to share because I grew a plant from seed (ah!) and it’s grown so big (ah!) and my gnome is now surrounded by pink flowers and I think it’s the cutest
A circuits class, followed by adding 2k words to my draft. Now it’s time for bed before I keel over 🥱 #amwriting #writingcommunity
Oh gahd. Hi. 13 days since my last post. 13 days of having my head down and writing during every free moment. Am now 80% of the way through this first draft #aaaaah #writingcommunity #amwriting & #amquerying (have been avoiding QT like the plague 🙂)
Had some feedback that nearly made me cry. They said I had a distinct & lovely voice, and beautiful prose 😭 Sorry? Me? Also, the MS made them giggle. I fear I’m about to become unbearable 🙂↕️ *internal screaming*
At the stage where I don’t even flinch at a QueryTracker email anymore, open them with zero expectation, and carry on with my day when it’s a rejection 😂 is this peace or a trauma response? Idk #amquerying #writingcommunity
I’m 56000 words in and I just had an idea that changes ✨everything✨ soooo I’m gunna just close my laptop and stare out of the window for a little while whilst I contemplate why I decided to start writing books 🙂
#WIPSnips a fun one for ‘search’ - it’s really hard being the sibling that could do romance blindfolded whilst your brother constantly fumbles the girl 🙄
The #WIPSnips word for July 19 is "search" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Concerned that sending queries is becoming an addiction. Is there a support group I could join? #amquerying #writingcommunity
I just found out Andrea Gibson passed away and suddenly the world feels a little less bright ‘Just to be clear I don’t want to get out without a broken heart. I intend to leave this life so shattered there’s gonna have to be a thousand separate heavens for all of my flying parts.’ – Andrea Gibson
Ah Jesus, just finished the third book only to find out it’s a FIFTEEN book series. Goddamn… I’m obviously going to read them all, but still. #booksky
Your girl accidentally started an 11 book series and I’m in deep and cannot get out send help #booksky

#PlaylistPitch #A #Rom A standard conversation between the FMC & MMC in my rom com that #amquerying… but with song titles ✨🎶
#PlaylistPitch #A #Rom The plot of my 🌶️ rom com in playlist form! If you think it has some mixed messages and are intrigued to find out more, the full MS is ready and waiting at 90k words ✨
The amount of time I waste clicking on the Manuscript Wish List link on agent query tracker profiles, only to find they don’t have a Manuscript Wish List set up…

Had a bloody lovely time with #Unhingedpit yesterday! Thank you for the likes and comments; you’ve all helped dust off the gloom from the query trenches. That being said, I’m heading back in. Wish me luck ✨

Me: come on, it's not like the professionals are even noticing us Also me: ...urgh fi- Me: *pulls out microphone* word count is so important! This 🌶️ romcom is at 90k but let's take a closer look at the word count that really matters! #UnhingedPit #A #R #Q (tw: bad words ahead)
Me: this is perfect for #UnhingedPit Also me: errrr…it might put the professionals off though? Me: ah, true. Let’s pop that into drafts and stick with this meme. Also me: great idea Me: for now Also me: wait what? #A #R #Q

Dear Industry Professionals, behold the future reviews we can expect if you decide to take me out of the query trenches! (Please hurry, it’s dark down here and I’m afraid to open emails) #UnhingedPit #A #R #Q
#UnhingedPit could not be coming at a better time. Your girl needs some lightness and fun injected back into querying 😮💨
6 rejections in 3 days and I am totally, completely, absolutely fine 😀

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.
Reposting this for the ✨delusional✨ energy this week 😌 I need it all because, honestly, I think being delusional might be my best quality? #amquerying #writingcommunity
At the risk of sounding ✨delusional✨ I just sent off a query and have all the good feelings about it
