Caught in a maelstrom of morals, a ship captain must decide what she desires most—to resurrect her sister, or kill the boy she’s grown to care for and let her wicked heart feel again. (This project will be ready for querying next week!) #QuestPit #Q #YA #F

I haven't been here a lot lately because I've mostly been doom scrolling the news. But I got 🎉 three requests 🎉 in the past ten days, so that's worth celebrating! Feels surreal, honestly 🥹

My synopsis writing process always goes through five emotional stages: 1. Denial (I don’t need one) 2. Anger (this is impossible) 3. Bargaining (can I just send the whole book?) 4. Depression (I’ll never be a writer) 5. Acceptance (fine, here’s a terrible one) #writingcommunity
