Newbie Illustrator; amateur writer; owner of two cat familiars.
Currently shopping out my urban fantasy novel set in an alternate version of Egypt in 1952.
Things I learned from posting weekly on #Wattpad as opposed to writing a full novel before posting it.

1 - Improvisation is key. If I already posted that person's name is something or the chain of events went a specific way, I can't change it, I need to adapt 'yes and' it.

I've been posting my romance book under a pseudonym on #wattpad. It's been an interesting journey to finally put my writing out there (aside from querying my current novel), completely different writing style, and honestly, posting twice a week has been a challenge.

Going from working on fantasy books to contemporary novels has been interesting. I didn't realize how much of a relief it is to not need that much research and effort into ensuring the writing is period-appropriate and properly incorporates the magic system.

Working on a new writing project is always intimidating after you've finished an old one. Does anyone else get the urge to just go back to the old one to "fix" it some more instead?

Sending my book out to a friend and having her love it and gush over the characters was such a great feeling! It's nice to get some reassurance that someone has enjoyed your work, especially when going through such a grueling process.

The Screaming Staircase X Psycho-Pass, but as a historical urban fantasy.

1952 Egypt reimagined in a world where personal demons inhabit objects that represent your greatest pain, survival might depend on your willingness to conquer your deepest fears.

I am at a unique point in my life.
I started my historical fantasy during NaNoWriMo in 2021.
Completed the first draft in 2022.
Went back and forth before finishing the final draft in 2025.
Now I'm at a point where I'm satisfied enough to want to query it.
It's been surreal.

What would you do if the color of your wrist tells the world if you've dealt with your trauma? What if you can't find the object your Demon has inhabited?

Pietro Moni opens a Demon Subjugation Institute because he can find any Demon without a problem. But should he?
