Just got comments from my developmental editor. It’s good feedback but I am overwhelmed. Not sure I have the mental capacity to do what I need to do… feeling a bit down 🫠🫠🫠

I would love to see more intersectional books with queer characters, bipoc, ace/aro, nonbinary, gender fluid, characters with disabilities, mental health challenges, etc. Basically a wider range of voices.

Having queer Latine rep is very important to me, especially right now bc we need more rep for queer people of color. If readers can either see themselves in my books or can learn something abt others’ experiences, that’s what matters.

I didn’t get as much written on my novella as I’d hoped but I’m still happy that I’ve at least gotten a little something done. My angel book is with an editor so… waiting… 😬

Mood/inspo board: Dark angel with hurt+comfort vibes. And Xolo bc he’s who I picture as one of the MCs.

I loved this photo by the photographer Henry Jimenez and when I saw it, I jokingly said “someone please write a book with this MC and I’ll buy it tomorrow.” But no one did so I started writing it.

My writing goal this week is to finish a single chapter in the sapphic novella I’m writing. By the end of June, I’d like to have 4 chapters written.

I’m Valerie, 💙💜🩷 Latina and I write queer books with Latine MCs. My most memorable first line: “If I never see another man’s ** and ** on full display on a fashion runway, it’ll still be too soon.” 🤭
