I know I should keep querying my project with Practical Magic vibes, especially with the sequel about to hit theaters, but do other authors ever feel like they've sent their full to the right agent and it just doesn't make sense anymore? Am I just hopelessly delusional? #amquerying

I have a busy day ahead, but I'm eyeing my laptop like, yes, I can also draft another 2k words, why shouldn't I? Delusion is strong today.

I just finished some amazing edits on my spooky MG and cozy, witchy, bakery story so watch out agents, I'll be back in the trenches! Then I can focus on drafting my twisty Frankenstein retelling! I hope it'll be ready in time for Halloweeeeeen

#QuestPit #A #H #W FRANKENSTEIN X WHITE LOTUS Influencer wannabe scores the honeymoon of a lifetime, with one wrinkle-her hub's boomer boss and pearl clutching wife. Missing guests. Missing groom. Murder. How far would someone go to recapture their youth, or someone else's?

This is the kind of thing I do to distract myself from the excitement of amazing agents who currently have my full manuscripts. How do you distract yourself? #art

My chronic illness has been flaring up and I simply do not have the spoons for a pitch event. I will not be pitching tomorrow, though I'm pretty excited with the agents who currently have my projects, and I will do my best to support my wonderful author friends! #QuestPit

Revisions have been completed and sent to the requesting agent, but I'm curious if I should reach out to the other agents with my full... Would they want the updated pages, or is reaching out just annoying?

I was a foolish fool and had way more to do than originally planned... I'm over halfway through revisions, though!!

I'm down to one last edit for my cozy story! Then I'll write some more of my WIP (Frankenstein x White Lotus if it were directed by Jordan Peele) and give it another full read before sending it back!! Think a two week turn around seems suspiciously fast for an R&R?

L. K. Carter @lkcarterauthor.bsky.social · 16/06/2025
Tackled the biggest/ most difficult change of my revision, so the rest will go quickly and smoothly, right?

Made my husband bread pudding for breakfast, pizza from scratch for dinner, and gave him a while lot of writing time for father's day. I think I nailed it! Yes, that's pickle pizza 🤣

Are there better vibes than stock simmering on the stove, rain pattering against summer leaves through an open window, and a bit of time to start chapter one of a new project?

I highly recommend trying pickle brined chicken. This was such a delicious dinner my husband made!

Throwing my WIP outline into an excel because it makes the most sense in my brain. Does anyone else do it this way, or am I just a weirdo? Maybe it's both?

I changed my WIP to my RHPS X Glass Onion X Get Out X White Lotus X Frankenstein idea I know that's a lot of comps, but I promise it will all make sense.

I thought I was set on my Spy vs Spy with dystopian elements WIP, but now that I'm a chapter in I'm wondering if I should go with my macabre, modern Frankenstein retelling... or maybe a third option from my idea folder...

Found I've landed in another small maybe pile for another awesome agent I'd love to work with! Fingers crossed one of these turns into a full soon!

I made my first vegan dessert, of course I tweaked the recipe, so I was nervous I'd ruined it. But, everyone loved it so much I ended up making a second mini batch for my kids because it was eaten without a crumb to bring back home! My love language is feeding people ❤️

Tell me how I married a man three years younger than me, and yet he's bookmarking his bird watching book to show me what he saw at the feeder and I'm sending him pictures so he doesn't miss anything while he's at work. Am I geriatric now?

Kinda horror. Kinda thriller. Kinda fantasy. THE WRONG CLEARING is an occasionally dark, often supernatural, fun YA story about choices and consequences featuring an evil goddess needing saving and a nuervodivergent teen with a big destiny. #questpit #Q #YA
