I sent my book to my grandma to read last month. She said she would start it after the holidays, and then didn't say anything else so I figured she hadn't started yet
turns out she's done... and now I am nervous because I was not able to properly prepare myself for her reaction

Who's started making their pitches for #foodpit??
In case you haven't, you can always compare the characters in your book to food
Is your MC spicy? Fruity (either way)? Do they bend like noodles? Are they raw? Whatever makes your character interesting, explore it through food!

We are one day closer to #foodpit on 2/7!
Todays pitch idea is: sharing food from your book (real or made up).
It can be a home cooked meal , a type of berry they turn into a wine offering, or just a plain grilled cheese if that's what your world has! #writingcommunity

Pitch your WIP badly in one sentence. Here's mine:
A girl with murderous rage tries to kill one person while leaving the rest of the world intact (but fails)

I am not sure what constitutes the difference between "visited here" and "stayed here" so I only counted it as a stay if I was there for more than 2 nights

It’s dangerous working across from an art store, because on my break I think I‘ll take a quick little stroll and find myself in the yarn aisle

some times i am worried that my dreams are happening too slow and other times I write "I want to become apart of a lit. mag team this year" and the next day I find out a friend started on this fall and wants some help

I made it to 219!
I thought the airport would be busier on a post holiday Saturday morning, but there was no one in tsa or bag check so now I have over an hour until my flight even starts boarding
I’m on page 140 of my book, time to see how much I can get through

last year when I went to the movies every trailer was for a sequel, remake, or live action
This year there was only one sequel
I don’t know what changed in the movie industry, but I would call that progress

a year and 87k words later I am so proud of where this book has ended up. like genuinely I can't believe that this is a world that I crafted by myself
This year I wasn't able to accomplish as much as I wanted to, but these past few months with this book have helped remind me all I am capable of

Some times writing is easy and straightforward. Other times you ask yourself "what do leaves say?"

onto the last few touch ups of A GODDESSES BLESSING before I send it off to the first round of beta readers and I feel like there is a million things to do and nothing at the same time
still on track(ish) to get it out Friday morning before my flight though!
