I added a new opening to my Historical Fiction after feedback. It's a tragic love story w/a love-triangle. It now opens at the end of the story. FMC is at a mass grave. The man she loved is buried w/rebels. Cuts to 3 months earlier & picks up where original opener was.

Your writing prompt for today. I had a dream last night that the native pollinators launched an assault on eco-genocidal humanity. It was so beautiful 🥹 the wasps joined forces with the honey bees. They set aside their years of robbing and pillaging to come together against a greater enemy.

I started writing fiction after getting trauma therapy for C-PTSD. Has it helped? Well...no. Now I have to add my laptop & manuscript & writing notes to the mental list of things to save in a catastrophic event. After the kids of course...😅

What does this song make you think of? It's inspired by A Solemn Silhouette, the fantasy novel I #amquerying. Other writers dedicate themselves to short stories, I prefer song! Please ignore my dog in the background. Pretend he's a dragon...a big cuddly hairy dragon... #fantasynovel

I won't lie. I bawled my eyes out when I wrote this. I wrote it for me, for every woman who has ever been harmed by power. To hear those words, to be told in no uncertain terms that this is the love you deserve, this is what youre worth of... #WIPsnips #fantasy #amquerying

I can't believe no one has picked up my niche Irish historical fiction/romance set in 1798 which was the last time Protestants & Catholics united against tyranny & before the crown & other groups were able to create division that eventually led to the Troubles yet.

Dear #WriterCommunity. I know everyone is trying to show their best & impress potential editors & literary agents. But what's actually going on in your lives? Community can't be built on false pretenses. We need to be real & support each other through thick & thin. Tell me what you're facing. 🙏❤️

Do you know what I never hear mentioned when it comes to underrepresented authors? Survivors of modern slavery & human trafficking, child s*xual abuse, domestic violence, s*xual exploitation. I'm here for this group. I'm a survivor & I want to stand by others trying to navigate getting published ❤️

7 years ago my husband & I bought a 250 year old house full of books which came with the sale. There were so many it took me a week to sort through them all & we donated many to charity. There still aren't enough book cases for them & there's random book piles in every room. I'm book wealthy 🤣

Good morning from Ireland! I had a dream a while ago... that all the literary agents had been abducted & replaced by AI, and the AI was just full on gaslighting authors & making us go through a digital/psychological battle royale & sometimes I think about that. 🤔

I got an acquisitions editor response to my historical fiction novel recommending me to another publisher but the other one only does yearly royalties? Would you do it? It's for historical fiction.

I wrote this poem 9 years ago. It's about trauma & dissociation. This was before my mind finally trauma-dumped everything I'd been through as a child & teen. Looking back, it must have scared the 💩 out of my abusers as they read this. That is a happy thought. #poetry #survivor

Might be opening a can of worms here. I've been playing with the beta-reader function on AutoCrit & excuse me if I don't point out that no matter how many recommended changes you make (spare draft) it always drops the % & gives more edits. Perpetual edits = long-term subscriber.

Mist & heather hide a secret in a rectory. An English woman treds on enemy ground. The country trembles with rumour of rebellion. The elite turn a blind eye to division. Catholics & Protestants unite against the Crown & love strikes Eleanor where it hurts. Ireland 1798. True story. #DVpit #HF #HR

The dragons were eradicated long ago. Their defeat is now a myth. Only a handful remember: an order of pacifists who warn about his return & a sect who want to bring it to pass. Tsafira must navigate myth & shadow to discover how her pre-mortal bond to King Julius will decide everything. #DVpit #F

They are united over his fathers death. She is grieved, but he is guilty. Power & a crown offer her everything she's wanted; peace, an end to poverty, an end to injustice. But an ancient shadow lurks beneath the throne threatening to corrupt everything she touches. #DVpit #F #A

PRIDE & PREJUDICE X THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY A scarlet coat could get a man killed. When Major Quinn returns to a rectory of secrets, his presence ignites the tense drama of the 1798 Rebellion. His truths could burn Eleanor’s family to the ground, forcing a dangerous choice. #DVpit #HF #R

Here's another song from my novel. The Exile Song from my fantasy novel, A Solemn Silhouette. It's sung by my main character at a crucial moment of betrayal and hopelessness...a song of old written 1000 years before when her people were either slaves or in exile. #amquerying #fantasy
