Raising a kid, making stuff up, figuring it out
I love me disoriented prose ❤️ yes, make your writing fit the internal! I can follow because each thing flows into the next. Nothing is random.

The only trip I had was the switch from third to first person. A clarification there would help. Like “not her—me”. Even that!

I have committed less to a genre and more to theme?? Stories circle the ideas of devotion, want/desire, and overcoming internal barriers to those things.

I’m looking for a friend/mentor, not a paid professional. That’d be awesome, just outside my budget.

Drowned in Virtue, Korean myth retelling, brainstormed. Shim Cheong is sacrificed to the sea and encounters the Dragon King. She learns to overcome her self-sacrificing nature.

Content notes: drowning (ps I promise I don’t have a fixation on this, it just happened lol), m/f open door intimacy

Still Waters, dark fantasy, drafting. A woman with a connection a bog, the sacrifice that ruins her and the two men that journey to the remains.

content notes: drowning, body horror/self inflicted harm, f/f and m/m open door intimacy

Fruit of Ruin, historical gothic, shelved. 18th c. priest has faith challenged by liminal being. Tender, not horror. There’s Latin, mass ritual, not enough stakes. ✨vibes✨

Content notes: open door m/f and m/m intimacy, lots of catholic-ness

Shamelessly Wanting, women’s fiction with romance, querying. A librarian moonlights as a spicy content creator and her life upends when she’s publically exposed.

Content notes: two brief memories of past sa, passive suicidal ideation, open door m/f intimacy

A note: I write literary upmarket. That has nothing to do with skill and everything to do with pacing and stakes. My battle scenes are internal and my characters think too much. Commercial writing is its own skill set—and I heavily lack it.
February 4, 2026 at 4:51 PM
Ugh I might try. Just write the big scenes I know I need. Strange without the connective tissue and emotional through line.

1000% a pantser. I may plot like the major story points in the order I want them. Outside that…it’s unknown until I get there.

And by major story points, I mean the 5 scenes I think can carry a novel hahaha

Yesss this! Like I know what I want to fix. I may just like cut it up. You know? Save the parts I can and weave in my new arcs.

Tapestry it hahaha or quilt?? Maybe quilt is better.

I also have book banning and censorship as a plot line in my querying novel Shamelessly Wanting. Those mine is library and not teachers.

Good luck to you!

I love seeing themes and story ideas showing up differently in all our works.

I have to shelve my Father Matthias draft as I work out foundational issues—it’s more sexual awakening than plot 😅 enjoyable, but not quite what I planned in my head.

Zeal is in Latin at the bottom: zelus.

Psalm 119:139: My zeal has consumed me…

Is it true this has also been written by a Jennifer??
January 31, 2026 at 5:15 PM
Ooooh I love this! Also the name Bambi is highly underused ❤️
January 31, 2026 at 5:09 PM
Just want to say my mmc is also named Miles ❤️❤️
January 31, 2026 at 4:41 PM
Love this premise! Also I am so intimidated to try dual timeline. Would love to know how that was??
January 31, 2026 at 4:30 PM
Yes me too ❤️ tho I have decided to shelve fruit of ruin because I’ve accepted it has some foundational issues that need fixing before I continue drafting. Ugh! So gonna enjoy a fresh draft elsewhere before I tear it up haha
January 31, 2026 at 4:28 PM
Crossing my fingers for you 🤞🏻because I want to read that and also try desperately not to steal it now hahahaha
January 31, 2026 at 4:27 PM
Yes I did the same. Tho I’m a project hopper. But I do finished! Evidenced by the one querying or else even I’d forget haha
