Caryatid [kayr-ee-AT-id]

It's been a hot minute since I've been on here so jumping in to say...

I won Nanowrimo with a VENGEANCE. 86,438 words.

Best year yet.

OH, and I finished the book on Tuesday. My first romance -- completed! (And it's not bad, if I say so myself.)

Honestly, I don't think "The Company of Cats" is a deep, mind-blowing story. I just wanted to write something easy to read that would that would make someone feel a little better by the end of it. Life sucks, and we need our comforts where we can get them.

Fun fact about "The Company of Cats": I wrote a lot of it while I was a homeless 21yo college student going through a divorce in the middle of a national pandemic shutdown, and I think that shows.

I should say , in case anyone is wondering….the purpose of fake agencies like this (and there are a lot of them) is to rip writers off by bamboozling them with offers of “free” representation, which they can only access by paying huge fees for unnecessary and often bogus “services”.
#WriterBeware: Another fake agency doing the solicitation thing: Collins Literary Guild. Web domain just 54 days old, multiple ludicrously false claims of repped books, and a roster of AI "literary agents" w/ bios cribbed from Sanford Greenburger Associates collinslitguild.com
Collins Literary Guild
The Collins Literary Guild functions as a specialized firm, providing a comprehensive array of representation services to authors who are at various stages of their publishing journey.
