Querying Update (Project SU)

Back in the trenches! I’m querying SU even though it doesn’t quite fit neatly into any category because I can’t not query it.

Upcoming Blog Break

Writing really is an experiment to me these days, a freedom which has come only after years of research, study, and practice. Now that I feel reasonably confident in my skill as a writer, it’s fun to try new things!
