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.

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!

I’ll still continue to provide general topic posts for people to enjoy, but I want the flexibility to write about whatever I’m thinking about or working on at the moment, rather than feeling like I have to stick to the rigid structure I set up for this past year…

It’s been a while, so let’s check in and get up to speed on where we’re at.

R&R update, querying, and reflections on the revision process for WSD.

We’ve got some possible news on the querying front!

The list is getting shorter, but I got another request!

It’s been a month since the last official update, and there have been some changes!

So many projects, so little time! What does my work look like right now, and what am I doing to manage it all?

4 requests, 17 rejections, and 14 outstanding… I don’t plan to send any more queries at this point, so here’s to hoping!

It doesn’t look quite like last year, where I literally wrote one novel manuscript after another, drafting constantly even while I was editing and revising the ones I’d already finished. It’s more of a mixed bag right now, and I feel good about that.

3 requests and 13 rejections… I’m happy with those numbers! I’d like to see more requests, obviously, but I’m also not going to complain.

Crossing fingers and toes while I wait to hear more…

Another week, more query responses!

I’ve gotten more responses! Querying is such a rollercoaster.

I said I’d update when I started getting responses, so here we go… I’ve gotten my first rejections!

I’ve sent out query letters, and now we wait!

Whether you're working on a novel, a blog post, or any writing project, writing sprints are brief, focused bursts of writing which increase productivity and spark creativity.

Having always planned on self-publishing, I’ve decided to give traditional publishing a go.

2023 was one hell of a year, and 2024 is gearing up to be just as exciting!
