Overcaffeinated Jo March

I thought I had escaped, but no, these characters still make me very unwell. 😭

Lol first query denial after only 24 hours. I think I’m going to be annoyed every time this manuscript gets rejected considering I poured my entire chronic illness into one of these characters. 🙃

Are they lovers? Yes, and worse. One of them finally confessed their love after being childhood friends and unspoken dating for a while. Now they’re soulmates separated across the cosmos on different planets…and they’re stuck like that until some idiot (me) writes the sequel.

When you finish writing a book, but then realize you have to do something with it now. 😅

I feel more and more like Frankenstein’s monster, burdened by a weight of knowledge I didn’t ask for. Oh, to be blissfully ignorant at the fall of civilization.

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve forced myself to continue writing a dystopian novel during an orange administration, I’d have two nickels…

A writer on another app alluded to the idea that if they’d started writing in 2012 they would already be published several times and I had to restrain myself because I started writing in 2012 and now I have four manuscripts and still no agent or publication. The journey is a journey. Time does not guarantee anything. It’s mostly luck.
