All three projects in one convenient thread ❤️

Four witches open a cozy bakery, but the detective next door would do anything to expose them for who they really are.

If he succeeds they could be burned at the stake or worse...he could ruin their love lives!

Moodboard for a cozy, witchy story including a warmly lit library, a greenhouse bursting with plants, coffee and herbs, a fresh baked cinnamon roll, ivy climbing a brick wall, green marijuana leaves, a sparkling clear crystal, and a woman's hand performing a spell above a worn spellbook

Finally! A morning that actually feels Autumnal! ✨️🍂🎃🍁✨️

This is the kind of thing I do to distract myself from the excitement of amazing agents who currently have my full manuscripts. How do you distract yourself?

My chronic illness has been flaring up and I simply do not have the spoons for a pitch event. I will not be pitching tomorrow, though I'm pretty excited with the agents who currently have my projects, and I will do my best to support my wonderful author friends! #QuestPit

I received another R&R recently, and I finally figured out how to put it into action! I'm so excited to see if they'll like it when I'm done!!

Love all these flowers!

10 k into my new WIP! And it's not terrible!

I got a rash from berry picking yesterday, but I'm honestly just excited to use plantain from my yard to clear up the itch in true bog witch fashion

You're already on blackberries? We're still collecting black caps!

L. K. Carter @lkcarterauthor.bsky.social · Jul 5

Thank you!!! This would be the first time I'm offering, so I think I might reach out!

L. K. Carter @lkcarterauthor.bsky.social · Jul 5

Revisions have been completed and sent to the requesting agent, but I'm curious if I should reach out to the other agents with my full... Would they want the updated pages, or is reaching out just annoying?

L. K. Carter @lkcarterauthor.bsky.social · Jun 24

I was a foolish fool and had way more to do than originally planned... I'm over halfway through revisions, though!!

L. K. Carter @lkcarterauthor.bsky.social · Jun 16

Tackled the biggest/ most difficult change of my revision, so the rest will go quickly and smoothly, right?

I ran out of both cream and creamer, so I added ✨️ice cream✨️ to my coffee instead. Work with what you've got, right? 🤣

L. K. Carter @lkcarterauthor.bsky.social · Jun 17

I'm down to one last edit for my cozy story! Then I'll write some more of my WIP (Frankenstein x White Lotus if it were directed by Jordan Peele) and give it another full read before sending it back!! Think a two week turn around seems suspiciously fast for an R&R?

Made my husband bread pudding for breakfast, pizza from scratch for dinner, and gave him a while lot of writing time for father's day. I think I nailed it! Yes, that's pickle pizza 🤣

I have a fun spooky MG you might like!

Are there better vibes than stock simmering on the stove, rain pattering against summer leaves through an open window, and a bit of time to start chapter one of a new project?
