Wondering how long this good moment will last tells the universe to mark it temporary. Don’t do this to yourself.

Lit agents, are you on LitConnect? How serious are you about finding authors on that app?

Waiting for the UFOs to land so the aliens can come out of the ship and tell all the lit agents, “Laurel wrote about our arrival and what will happen because of it, so you should probably read her manuscript in your Maybe pile. Oh, and watch out. That guy behind you is a Set descendant.” ✌️👽🛸

Let go and be guided. Your higher self knows where you’re headed. Your spirit guides hold the leash. Still, you walk ahead of them with faith they’ll give you a tug should you ever get distracted. Hope this helps. - Laurel♥️

I’m 55 and still have imposter syndrome while at work talking to my boss. There’s this little child in me that always thinks, “Whoa, those were some really big words that just came out of my mouth.” 😳

Thanks to AI, authors need to document their writing journey from beginning to end with time stamps to prove they have a creative brain. And those who haven’t started and/or delete their notes once implemented into their manuscript are shitting their pants right now. #writesky

#askagent Hey lit agents! How many words do you prefer to see in a book that’s light on the scifi (just a portal—no space stuff) but heavy on the romance?

I went to bed thinking tomorrow was Monday. I was sad because I wanted more time to write since I only get to do it on the weekends. I woke up asking Siri what time it was, and my adrenaline kicked in when I heard it—I was going to be late to work. (1/2)

It’s awkward writing spice. Because when you’re writing, you’re also thinking about how your children will read it, your family will read it, your boss, co-workers, ex lovers (although they’ll probably just miss u … or think you’re writing about them🙄). #writesky

Life takes a turn for Kat when the world finds out two extraterrestrial species—one good, one evil—are responsible for our existence, and the evil one wants this life to be Kat’s last. #QuestPit #A #SSF #UP #H #S #DF #DR #PR #R #HR #Q #LGBT

Kat struggles to understand why she chose to reincarnate if she was only going to suffer again under the malevolent force of the Set. To destroy her, they’re targeting her family and soulmate. As a crisis of faith makes the population drop, secret identities are revealed, unusual powers unfold, and she finds a way to go back in time. But altering reality for the win can be just as deadly.

The UK government frames an intelligence agent for a temporal disaster, putting him in the crosshairs of ruthless state assassins. To save his skin he must seal a lethal time rift, before a Russian spy from the future uses its secrets to start a war that will destroy everything. #QuestPit #Q #A #SF

#booksky Show me literary agents who still want scifi thrillers, horror, and upmarket speculatives in their inbox, where evil extraterrestrials pose as humans and ghosts, and a gay woman is tired of reincarnating to fight them, but they keep coming after her and her tribe. 👽🛸👻🏳️‍🌈

Melancholy Helena finds some comfort among the gargoyles of the shadowy chapel on campus. When her secret crush reveals she is one of these stone beasts in human form, Helena is drawn into the war to keep a technicolor Hell from erupting through the rift. #BluePit #📖 #YA #F #Q #LGBT

Moodboard for Rooted in Stone.
Tagline: She thought her heart was stone… it would take a gargoyle to prove her wrong…
Large central image is a doorway in a very dark, arched hallway of an old stone building. The huge, heavy oaken door is cracked halfway open to the outside. Outside, we see a very bright, vividly colored rainbow of sparkling light starbursting to halo the door, clearly a strange and wondrous land beyond, which contrasts with the moody shadows of the interior.
Around the edge of this image, as a backdrop, are, the buckles of a lesther jacket, crows flocking around the steeples of a misty church, statue of an angel clasing hands over heart and peering at the sky, a dark-skinned mermaid with a turquoise tail, a girl in half-shadow glaring out at the viewer, a crow perched on a fencepost.

Focus on what’s happening now, not what will be. If you started a hike that ends with a beautiful waterfall, why would you start wondering how long it will take to get there instead of enjoying the scenery that’s around you right now? (1/2)

All is happening as it should for the highest good. Evil teaches us a lesson of consequences. Have gratitude for what you can see, accept, and grow from. Just for a moment, think about what is going right instead of wrong. Onward and upward.
