An agent’s guide to my 98k paranormal dark fantasy/horror THE CHAOS IN MY BLOOD

Looking for a blog post I wrote a while back and instead stumbled upon someone I don’t know recommending ZA as a great zombie apocalypse book leaning more into horror than sci-fi. The idea that a stranger is recommending ZA is absolutely phenomenal 🥹❤️ #WritingCommunity

Isn’t it crazy that our WIPs might end up as a comp for something that hasn’t been written yet? #WritingCommunity

Spent my evening rewriting my cover letter, and it was more fun than I expected #WritingCommunity

Reasons to avoid Iris Hale:
🚩 Eats sarcasm for breakfast
🚩 So temperamental she’ll give you whiplash
🚩 Addicted to her own bloodlust
🚩 Touch her best friend and she’ll rip your throat out
🚩 Has a knife and knows how to wield it

In love with my new mug 🥰

Received some excellent feedback on my cover letter, so back to the drawing board! Fingers crossed this new version brings me more than radio silence

@272BookFaith This sounds awesome! Just added it to my TBR list!

[Molly Looby @MollyLooby]

I’m going on holiday soon, and I need some new reads! Anyone got a YA horror I can devour?

[Molly Looby @MollyLooby]

Signed up to qtCritique and now I’m obsessed. My teenage years (and early twenties) were spent on an online writing platform that doesn’t exist anymore critiquing and cheering on my peers. I didn’t realise how much I missed it! It feels good to be critiquing again!

First 3,000 word day since November and it feels so good 😎

[Molly Looby @MollyLooby]

Aaaannnnnnnndddd we’ve hit 100k 🫡

[Molly Looby @MollyLooby]

About to reach 99k on a prequel no one asked for ✌️

[Molly Looby @MollyLooby]

1,049 words today. I feel like it’s getting out of hand now. 96k and not close enough to the end as I should be 😂

[Molly Looby @MollyLooby]

Been away from here for a while. Did I miss anything?

This one is for the working writers. The ones who grind for hours and hours so they can pay their bills, who come home after eight, ten, twelve hour days and STILL find the space in their tired and weary souls to write a story and chase a dream that feels impossible.

I see you.

For my 30th birthday, I asked all my favourite people to buy me a copy of their favourite book and wow did they deliver ❤️

[Molly Looby @MollyLooby]

@BrandiKennedy84 A little bit about what’s going on right now to place the timeline - that was super helpful to me in the last letter to fully gauge how long 10 years is! And then just about my hopes for the next 10 years 😊

[Molly Looby @MollyLooby]

I just spent an hour and a half writing my letter to be opened in 10 years when I’m 40, and I’m pleased to say that 4,000 words later, it’s ready and waiting

[Molly Looby @MollyLooby]

I’m so lucky to have such a talented partner 💕 His birthday gifts are always my favourite 🥰
