Out of concern that agents use AI detection services, I checked my synopsis, written by me (flawed human). It scores 17% AI on quillbot, 13% on phrasly, 23% on grammarly, 71% on textguard, 5% on gptzero, 95% on humanlingo. #ai, #amquerying, #writingcommunity

If no one wants to sit with you in the faculty lounge, take a zombie bear to work with you. Scaring is sharing. Share your bears #characterdesign #bears #unpopular #art #watercolor #monsters

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters What is something your character always has with them? Something they would be loath to leave behind or abandon. A memento? A trinket? A tool? Why do they need it? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Day 50 painting my characters= Hadrian. It‘s fitting to end on my newest WIP, a MM rom-com. In my magical thinking brain, I thought this project might bring me luck with querying. It hasn’t but I feel like I know my characters better. #mmromance #AmWriting #watercolor #amquerying #magicalthinking
