The hardest part of the writing process isn’t completing a 90k word manuscript, or edits, or plotting. It’s definitely writing 250 words for a query letter that doesn’t sound totally insane.

Just received another full manuscript request. After the amount of rejections I've gotten, this feels like some cruel prank :,)

Me: I’m so tired. Husband: Maybe stop staying up all night to read… Me: And why would I do that?

Every time I think I've numbed myself to the process, I receive another #query rejection form & am reminded that I am in fact a big, fat baby. #querying #amquerying

Where would one find an alpha reader for a #Romantasy rooted in Appalachian folklore w the family bonds of Practical Magic, slow-burn tension of Kristen Ciccarelli’s The Heartless Hunter & the weight of expectation in Tyler Childers’ “Nose on the Grindstone.” Finding beta readers is impossible! #WIP

I was impatient before I started #querying. One full manuscript request later and I am going clinically insane. #amquerying #querytrenches

Telling myself that this full manuscript request will be validation enough even if it gets rejected and this manuscript dies in the trenches. #amquerying #romantasy #debutauthor

Hi, I’m Jess! I wrote a book. Not the cocktail menu in my hands—a legit book. A Romantasy with a modern world FMC navigating a different realm, political drama, and torn between two swoon-worthy men. If you’ve ever muttered “I would’ve said this” or “done that” while reading: this one’s for you 🖤

Where are all the fans of Romantasy interested in becoming a beta reader? Asking for a friend who looks a lot like me. #romantasy #debutauthor

#questpit #rf #q What do we want? Femme rage! What’re we getting? Femme rage! (Also some emotional crash-outs, a tragic love-triangle, and mommy/daddy issues—OBVIOUSLY.) *For the girlies who don’t want to walk away emotionally unscathed.

#questpit #rf #q POV: you ordered grumpy/sunshine. You got: sarcastic, sleep-deprived, itching for the chance to poke the patriarchy in the eye…and maybe burn a few kingdoms along the way. POV: You ordered broody hardass. You got broody harass. Plus a side of a gooey emotional center.

#questpit #rf #q If Fleabag couldn’t choose between Geralt of Rivia and Colin Bridgerton—after accidentally becoming the heir to a murdered goddess—her name would be Rosaline Everlight. Sarcastic. Sleep deprived. Motive to burn the kingdom to ash: loading.

#questpit #RF Killed the rebel queen. Crushed the uprising. Erased her bloodline. They just missed one tiny thing: The hidden away daughter. The one that just arrived. Call evil HR. Someone’s getting fired.
