Reading comps as an author is a great way to figure out if you're working in the right genre.

- The Refinement: "Ah yes, mhm, these look enjoyable."
- The Ariad: "Oh hey that looks neat."
- Final Girl: O.O "GIVE TO ME" (& cracking up at the audiobooks while kneading bread)

@HLDocherty @REstepLit Psyduck is the correct answer always. I'm probably closest to Magicarp. I flop uselessly until I get mad and then I become a raging sea monster.

Been gone for a while cause Stardew Valley became my life briefly woops!

But tonight I wrote the chapter I was too intimidated to write because I didn't think I could do the plot justice. We now have an inciting incident. Huzzah and such.

Went from reading Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, to watching David Goggins videos, to playing Stardew Valley. Found all of them very regulating, esp after a post-work meltdown yesterday. My nervous system is so weird.

@NiaPLuna That sucks, but from what I've seen on your page, it doesn't sound like you're letting it define you. The only people who live a small life are the ones who don't strive for a great one. You're striving, & you can be deeply sad while also striving. The two go hand in hand a lot.

@Madmarlowe Literally just started playing Stardew Valley for the first time last night. Already love this 💜

It might be Valentine's Day!
Or Christmas.
But they removed all the calendars and keep changing the schedule.
Happy Valentine's Day, maybe?
Help! ❤️💜💙

@RStamfordAuthor Well I love it!!

[Rachel E. Tell (is querying) @RachelETell]

@RStamfordAuthor Thank you so much! ☺️ I'm playing a lot with greens vs purples as color themes and drawing together a lot of disparate visuals. Hopefully it works in the prose.

[Rachel E. Tell (is querying) @RachelETell]

I think I'm invested in this WIP enough to start posting about it properly. The Ariad is a YA/NA dark romantasy, but in a post-apocalyptic eco-horror setting. I'm doing a lot of world-building/monster design & so far I'm pretty stoked. Here's the moodboard!

Now querying THE REFINEMENT: MERCURY!
Best described as:

Pride & Prejudice x Jacob's Ladder x Return to Oz
but with cults
and bees
and autistic Darcy-coded hot guys
and scene-stealing morally gray antagonists
and ball pits
and bubbles.

Email queries/fulls are such a double edged sword to me. On one hand, I can't stalk them obsessively. On the other hand, I can't stalk them obsessively

@LMcAlisterWV @ciarasmithagent Big same. The only complication was when I found myself in it and went "wait a second." 😅

[Rachel E. Tell (is querying) @RachelETell]

@lyssa_whitt Ohhhh I thought it was your timeline, that makes way more sense!! Dude the maybe pile will drive you crazy if you let it. I was in one forever and finally got a full request at 103 days so it's possible!
