#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)

Text thread between Fate and FMC. FMC would like to return the hot man fate has bestowed upon her, but Fate doesn’t accept returns. FMC is quite upset

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

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 🙄

I close my eyes and silently curse my big brother for not being able to land the girl.
It’s not that hard; he grew up watching the same Disney movies I did. You go after the princess, you search the town with her shoe just to find her, you wake her up with your kiss. You kidnap her dad and then do a prisoner swap so you can keep her instead…
Maybe Disney films aren’t the best example.
Either way, this isn’t rocket science.

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

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)

Dean’s plan* for when your male crush asks you out and you're in the closet as bisexual #UnhingedPit #NA #R #LGBT #Q *(very much making this up as he goes along)

The Gru meme showing a plan with the following steps:

1: Tell him you have a girlfriend, so he stops.
2: Tell your girlfriend about him because you’ve accidentally invited him to meet her.
3: Have a threesome with his housemate and your girlfriend.
4: Swear housemate to secrecy.
5: Date housemate as throuple … until it all blows up in your face.

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

Today’s #WIPSnips word is ‘desperate’ Here’s to friends that get straight to the point 👏✨

I’m desperate for some words of wisdom from my best friend. She’s been here for it all, for every step of building myself up, of keeping myself guarded from members of the opposite sex. Everything. She knows me better than anyone else.
“Then, fuck him.”
I blink at her.
That’s not quite the encouragement I was after.

#WIPSnips word of the day is ‘sheet’ I had several matches…er, this is the only one that doesn’t require some sort of warning 😅😇

I move quickly, grabbing a semi-clean white sheet and a foot stool. As I’m hanging it up, Pix gasps from the top of the stairs.
“You’re an artist?” She tentatively walks forward, her eyes scanning the numerous works that fill the space.
“You could say that.” I strain as I try and reach the clip I secured here, for moments like this; when I need to hang sheets.
The need arises more than you would think.
