Me: *lying on couch overwhelmed by adulting*
Mr 8: What’s wrong?
Me: I’m just exhausted.
Mr 8: Did you get lots of rejections today?
🤣
I didn’t, but I appreciated the asking! And the insight into what he thinks exhausts me.

My kids are obsessed with Crazy Frog. It gets requested daily.

The whole song is just one big vocal stim 🤣
Bring ding ding ding ding-ding, bring ding ding ding ding-ding-ding, bring ding ding ding ding-ding, bring ding ding ding boa boa!

It’s been a good writer day! Betas are reading one book, a kind personal rejection on another, and a partial request for the third!
Ever hopeful! 🤞

I wrote over 1800 words today! It’s not huge, but I haven’t really written anything since before the school holidays.
It feels good!

Nearly 4K drafted today! Here’s where I chaotically try to get in as many words as possible before my kids go on summer break.
Less than a week to go!

#amquerying crowd, play this game with me!
Dear future agent,
Along with the book I’m querying, you get: the other two books in the series I’ve already written, a YA fairytale, 2/3 of a portal fantasy trilogy, two half written cozy adult WIPs, and a romance I wrote at 17.
