Seeking representation for my debut
#memoir, Please Don’t Make Me Have to Love Myself. Having known only relationship failure and heartbreak, it takes a handsome, sociopathic jailbird to teach a desperate love addict to find her worth to finally realize her happily-ever-after.

Staring down an April 30th deadline to submit or scrap my #memoir. The #choice feels that #BlackorWhite. Can't decide if Life is too short to be causing myself this much stress and anxiety, or too short not to take the chance. #LifeWithACapitalL #grief #burnout #WritingCommunity

Well said, Rebecca ✌️

@michellehazen @LLPnLEP_Memoir @evascalzo That's amazing. Congratulations! 🎉

@shannonconways The crush I have had forever, and still going strong.

[Patricia Dechant @pdechantwrites]

Would you venture a guess how many times you’ve read through the manuscript you’re querying? Have you ever made it all the way through without editing the hell out of it? Or at least wanting to? #RecoveringPerfectionist

[Patricia Dechant @pdechantwrites]

Contemplating whether or not I should read through my manuscript again. It’s actually been a good long while. Mildly curious if I’m feeling disconnected from it specifically or from most things generally. #grief #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

[Patricia Dechant @pdechantwrites]

@patbackleybooks Happy Birthday!

[Patricia Dechant @pdechantwrites]

If you could finally get all your username and password combos sorted and stored correctly somewhere safe… how might that filter into Life in general? #ByYouIMeanMe #LifeWithACapitalL #ThursdayThoughts #ButterflyEffect #NothingToDoWithWriting #WritingCommunity

Oh… so thaaaat’s what happened… 🤦🏼‍♀️#ExplainsALot #HeadsUp #memoir #WritingCommunity

[Patricia Dechant @pdechantwrites]

Yes, please 🙋🏼‍♀️

[Kate Pearce @Kate4Queen]

I want to read romances where the heroine isn't having to constantly survive trauma or go after some grumpy hero who has to be persuaded to fall in love with her. I want a heroine who is given all the things she needs with LOVE. I suppose I'd better write one like that. ;)

[Patricia Dechant @pdechantwrites]

Will I put my taxes together today because it feels like the least emotionally-triggering thing I can choose to do? Apparently. #HappyMonday after #DaylightSavingTime How will you #procrastinate today? #AmUp #AmWriting (...but not) #WritingCommunity #WritersLife #WritersOfTwitter

[Patricia Dechant @pdechantwrites]

@KaylaGrosse It’s on my TBR pile. Looking forward to it. 🤓

[Patricia Dechant @pdechantwrites]

The alarm went at 7am. Ready for a nap at 9:43. Is there a #memoir in there somewhere? #storyofmylife #decafaintcuttingit #WriterLife #WritingCommunity

[Patricia Dechant @pdechantwrites]

…though that somehow feels appropriate and relevant as well. Alternatively… Google says 666 in spiritual/angel numbers is “an encouragement to refocus.” Also relevant. Tho now I am #rambling. Might all make more sense if you ever get to read my book. #deepthoughts #SundayMood

[Patricia Dechant @pdechantwrites]

Feels appropriate that Sixteen Candles is coming on while I was inspired to sit down and rewrite my synopsis. What movie affected you as a teen?

And how many words should a synopsis be?

#AmWriting #memoir #WriterLife #WritingCommunity

I won’t hashtag 666.

[Patricia Dechant @pdechantwrites]

Putting everything on hold here for now. That’s just the way it has to be, and that is okay. #grief #selfcare #memoir #WriterLife #WritingCommunity

[Patricia Dechant @pdechantwrites]

@contactrebecca I have been debating with myself if I would as well.

[Patricia Dechant @pdechantwrites]

@aj_irving I’m sorry for your grief. It’s beautiful that you have yourself that grace. And I needed to hear this. Thank you.
