Tonight’s New Moon is great for manifesting, so here’s me manifesting that CURSED THE DEER, our YA sapphic Greek myth fantasy book that’s currently out on submission to some very cool editors, will find its perfect home.

Make it so, New Moon.

Sometimes you have to hide your cute little nose from the world

I fed the dogs half an hour early today because they were restless and I wanted husband to be able to get that last half hour of sleep, and I hope this was not a terrible mistake that will lead to the dogs getting up every day 30 min earlier than the day before 😅

I dreamed I butt dialed a friend of a friend despite not having talked to either of them for ages. Chatted anyway and dream-me told this person all about my German instructor's dog's litter of puppies. Finished my in-dream speech to discover she'd hung up mid puppy description 😅

This is what's to my left in my office. It now dawns on me that I need to put something really colorful and inspiring on that wall!

You may have heard the story of Iphigeneia. How she was tricked by her father with promises of marriage, so she could be sacrificed instead. How Artemis saved her at the last minute.

But what if she hadn’t?

In CURSED THE DEER, Iphigeneia awakens her magic—and saves herself.

Dreamed I was cuddling with a ghost cat. I felt its weight and its soft fur but no cat was visible to the eye.

Today's plan is a little hike with the dogs and 18, a few household chores, and then one more read-through of my thriller manuscript before sending it back to my agent. What are your plans on this Sunday?

Just misspelled 'bonus' as 'bones' twice. I think I'm telling myself something about an upcoming WIP that has 'bones' in the title 🦴💀

What if the three witches gave Lady Macbeth a brew that transported her into a strange, limbo realm where nothing is as it seems?

What if, while trapped there, she met a woman drenched in blood?

What if that woman was Klytemnestra?

And what if… 🗡🗡🩸🩸🖤🖤🔥🔥

Eleanor grows up believing her village is the last remnant of humanity, then learns that’s a convenient lie. Life isn’t limited to working at a woodsmoke-filled inn and enduring bullying by the local lord’s son; there’s a world of galactic exploration out there.

Just saw a post on from someone who apparently thinks 2024 is three years away. Either that person is very wrong about the current date or we're caught in an extremely interesting time loop and I want to pick their brain and find out how to time travel ⌛

Come one, come all!🔥🎪🧶

Caught myself thinking I was going to tell something to my mom...who died in 2008. And caught myself planning to tell my aunt that my MIL is reading a book my aunt gave us...but my aunt died last year.

Maybe I subconsciously think I'm a better medium than I really am? 🤣
