Ended up getting two very exciting emails yesterday, which my husband insisted on celebrating. We went out to dinner, then wandered around the cutest little outdoor shopping mall, and ended up buying some goodies at a pastry shop.

Never feel cozier than when I'm writing in bed with my bedside light on. It's just immaculate vibes all around.

Something really fun about me is that I'm allergic to like 90% of makeup products.
Something else really fun about me is I'm a certified #theatrekid
So yes, I am constantly throwing my body into allergic reactions for shows. Sue me 🤷♀️ (please don't sue me, my eyes are too puffy for the paperwork)

Have I sent myself into a minor hEDS flare due to too much typing this week? Yes.
Have I also removed over 10k words from my manuscript for a revise and resubmit? Also yes.
Worth. It.

You call it a problem. I call it singlehandedly keeping a small book store in business.
In other news, the one book I intended to purchase turned into six. Worth it!

Querying is such a mind game- hours spent staring at yellow rows surrounded by red frowny faces and green smiley faces with no way of knowing what the outcome will be.
It's worth it regardless of the outcome, but good God, it is doing a NUMBER on my brain.

Had a dream that my #1 agent made me an offer of representation. Woke up at 5:30 am only to find out it wasn't real.
Here's to hoping the dream comes true! 🤞🤞🤞

Querying a book is WILD because some agents are actively seeking to rep underrepresented voices and characters, and some look at you sideways if you even mention those things as part of your query letter. #querying

Buying cutie little jackets at Costco because businesses like Costco deserve our money.
Also this jacket is so soft and it's FLEECE LINED. I'm obsessed with it. And it was $9.99!
