(The reason I think of this whenever I read resumes is it took me a long time to realize there were skills I could put on my resume that I hadn't thought made me unique in any way.)

I just finished the first draft on Sunday, and I'm super excited about how it turned out. (Very different from my original vision, but in a better sort of way, I think.) These prompts are the very first I've shared about it. They were a lot of fun!!! 💖

Last 1 for #MixTAPESTuesday Setting: Well... It's partly set in a 90s-esque low fantasy version of our world & also set in an entirely fictional version of the 1920s. Also a scene on a pirate ship in the 18th century. Also a scene in a medieval forest. Also there's an apocalypse in the background.

And the flip side for #MixTAPESTuesday Protagonist: Nah, she's not a hero at all. She would definitely agree with that assessment 😂 But she would also point out heroes have to do hero things. They're predictable. There are expectations to meet. It's the non-heroes who are the most fun.

More #MixTAPESTuesday Antagonist: This is actually an ongoing conversation the characters have throughout the book. So to answer, a quote from (not?) the villain: "I'm only the villain because you didn't meet me first."

This is awesome!! Congrats! I enjoyed following along with GroundskeeperWIP when you'd shared things about it throughout your process and it's so cool now getting to see this news 💖

Wouldn't imposter AI art just be.... real artists making art??? 🤔

I skip querying anyone who asks. I don't have a marketing plan. It's part of why I'm trying a trad pub route, because I don't know how to market all on my own. It's a conversation I'd want to have at the time of offer or later, not during the querying part of the process.

You don't 🤷‍♀️ You can be scared of messing it up and do it anyway. Writing isn't permanent. If something feels messed up, you can always go back and revise. Anything worth writing is worth writing messily. 💜
