I loved this book so much. One of my favorites this year. There's a mentor-like character who starts as a small character, then becomes more and more (and more) profound in ways that, as a reader, I never anticipated. So recommend.

There's a rich woman in her sixties, akin to Kris Kardashian (who I'm not the biggest fan of). Instead of being a snobby materialist, I'm trying the opposite. In spite of the plastic surgery and lifestyle, this lady's lonely, dissatisfied, and scared to change. Fun arc at play...

Anti-tropes: what are some tropes that you've purposefully avoided in your WIP? OR, are there any tropes that you've put a twist on?

"System" down! The #WIPSnips word of the day (11/25), brought to you by Google Docs (side note: what app do you fancy pantses use to make the colorful popped graphics of your text? I want to try...)

How do you maintain enthusiasm for a writing project, especially when they can drag on for years? The answer might lie in Begeisterung.

Finding Begeisterung
Begeisterung is what artists share over their otherwise endless differences: enthusiasm for a task clearly perceived

I love this question. There was a "war on drugs" in my manuscript (small town America impacted by the opioid crisis). We know who won and who lost.
Repercussions: a lot of families picking up the pieces, seeking justice, and moving forward together.

#NovemberWorldbuilders Does your fictional world have any wars in its history that are now over? What was the conflict about? What were the repercussions of it?

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
Here's an appearance one that I don't think we've talked about yet: What does your character's hair look like?
Do they have hair? Long or short? What color? How do they usually wear it? Is it important to them?

I'll read anything, but I tend to avoid uber Chick Lit or any High Fantasy. Accidentally read Splattepunk once and was nauseous for hours after. 😂

Hmmm...I almost never read fantasy, but my sister insisted I check out the Throne of Glass series by Sarah Maas. I enjoyed it, especially the deep escape into another world and the resilience and evolution of the heroine. Not my usual cup of tea, but I chugged it!

Still learning about the process of selecting an editor after you're agented. They sound completely integral to the process, so curious to learn more.
What’s something in the publishing world that’s a mystery to you? For me, it’s self-publishing. I want to do trad publishing, but I’ve considered self-publishing. I just don’t even know where to begin #writingq #WritingCommunity

Nothing romantic. An angry sixty-something woman with her annoyingly optimistic, twenty-something therapist. They're oil and water in the beginning, but find common ground in spite of their different ages and wealth (or lack thereof!). Like the show Hacks but focused on mental health.
