I think that beating my head into the wall would be so much easier than having to write a cover letter that explains my book manuscript to publishers

Book update~

I started pulling together a pinboard for my original manuscript's agent guide (a visual document meant to be a high-level pitch for my book) because I was soooo intimidated that I wouldn't know what visual direction to take it in

Anyway needless to say that fear has been quashed LOOK AT THIS

By the way, the one sentence summary of my book is:

"The daughter of a recently deceased alcoholic must partner with Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, on a quest across modern Greece to save Mount Olympus."

I started querying with agents this week. If (when! gotta be positive!) I get an agent, then that agent will try to sell my manuscript to a publisher.

Anyway thank you to those of you who have cheered me on so far this is soooo far out of my comfort zone but I'm really excited about it!!

Your writing style? I’m eating it up, and utterly devouring it. I discovered your writing through your gravity falls fics and I cannot stop reading them. They’re like catnip, I swear. After being moved and inspired by the stangst poem you posted, I figured I would finally come thank you for writing this amazing content, but also for sharing your words. They’re really special, and I look forward to reading more when you are ready and able to share them.

you are so kind omg ;-;;;;

i'm a little amazed people like the poem, but very much happy about it. like most poets my shit gets rejected like 100 times before being accepted anywhere lmfao. something really nice about being able to just throw it up and have people enjoy it right off the bat. it means a lot to me.

it's awesome for me to have this space to try things out and grow as a writer, and y'all blow me away every single day with all the love you have to give. so truly, thank y'all for partaking in this lovely space; i look forward to logging on every day in a way i never have with social media before :)

>> A local publishing house rejecting me before I even sent a manuscript because they don't believe men can write romance wasn't on my bingo card this year, but that happened this morning I GUESS

🥨How do you overcome writer's block?

i dont.

serious answer: i usually have multiple projects going at once (multiple fics, scripts, poetry) so i switch between them. if i get stumped with writing all together, i go back to making art. i get stuck with art, back to writing

if i get blocked with both? no clue what i would do then

🍭What's been your most challenging story to write, and why?

absolutely utterly despise and then there were three

uhh... poets fic because coming up with poems from a fictional character's perspective is hard. and im stuck on how to go about the portrait of a girl scene in the bapo fic once i get over that then the rest should come easy

🌮How do you balance the desire to write for yourself versus the desire to write for an audience?

i write mostly for myself. its nice to know that i have a handful of people who like my writing. i dont have a particulary large audience. my audience is my mutuals

i dont want a huge audience, it's just nice to see that people enjoy the stuff i write

it gets harder when trying to submit things to literary magazines. it's all purely subjective but rejection letters aren't always fun. like- i once got a rejection letter that was quite short that went

the submission window hadn't even closed. "these poems were great but we dont want them"

A "Terminal Note" by the author of Maurice, E.M Forster, written in 1960 decades after the original manuscript was completed (1914) but a decade before the book would finally be published posthumously in 1971. The movie is an almost perfect adaptation of the book. If you like gay period pieces with happy endings and a side of class commentary, it's a must watch.
