Does anyone else sometimes find themselves in an all consuming vortex where they can't focus on anything else and are filled with adrenaline working on novel revisions or am I just excessive?

It's just that this book is soooo close to being really good!

The more I revise this novel, the more haunted it gets. I'm so excited. 😊

Absolutely!

So I guess telling them there's one loose in the store right now is out of the question...

My heart has been pounding working on novel revisions. I really like how the scares are coming together.

Stop sending authors AI generated emails about how we should pay you to promote our books. It's offensive and honestly, if you can't be bothered to write an actual email then you probably aren't good at promo either.

I am working on novel revisions and seriously I never feel more alive or like myself than when I am working with characters I really care about. It's good for my heart.

My contributor copy for THIS WAY LIES MADNESS arrived. I could cry! It's beautiful. Absolutely stunning. Thank you so much to @leemurraywriter.bsky.social and @davebjeffery.bsky.social. "Bangs" is perhaps the most personal short story I've ever written. Honored to have it featured in this anthology.

Phoebe is not thrilled that novel revisions are taking up all her snuggling space.

Emily Ruth Verona @emilyrverona.bsky.social · 5d

Any leads would be much appreciated!

My novel MIDNIGHT ON BEACON STREET was published by Harper Perennial last year. I have experience writing online about commerce, film/television, and literature.

So the place I'd been freelancing for is scaling down and I'm looking for work, preferably full time or part-time. I am an award-winning writer with 19 years of experience.

I'm beyond thrilled to announce I have a new novel coming out. A fierce, feminist, and totally queer werewolf novel.

This might have been the most fun I've ever had writing a book, and I seriously can't wait for everyone to meet Elsa and Jacey! 🐺🖤🐺

My mom's dog is hilarious. She won't listen when I call her name, but she always listens when I call my dog's name because she loves Phoebe and wants to do everything Phoebe does. 😂🥰

I got notes from my agent yesterday so time to dive back into the novel. Excited to get started!

Emily Ruth Verona @emilyrverona.bsky.social · 9d

Also from yesterday. Tiny flowers. 😊

Forgot to post this yesterday! Anthony and I went for a walk in the park. It was really lovely.

Emily Ruth Verona @emilyrverona.bsky.social · 9d

Phoebe gets it.

As someone who vividly remembers watching the pilot the night it aired, writing this was immensely satisfying.

Anthony's brother got engaged last night and the celebration was at a SPEAKEASY. It was awesome. 😊
