One of the characters in this WIP is the most cinnamon roll doofus imaginable and I don't know how to make a "Do it for Him" meme with just text snippets, but I'm going to figure it out.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 26800:
Querying is a slow, anxious process. Don't make it worse by stopping work. Start something new. Have fun with it. At worst, having a new project will take the sting out of rejection. At best, you'll have a second half-finished book when your first is accepted.

The writing is easy; I always wanted to, so I did
Getting to the career to support my lavish lifestyle that writing required (lol), was a lot more circuitous. Graduating in 2008 had a lot to do with it.

It’s a science fiction/fantasy/horror mashup of monsters, myths, and shipboard AIs.

It’s a mashup fairytale retelling which pokes fun at society’s strict and outdated gender norms, roles, and rules.
