It's officially out! DIVINE CARNAGE coming 2027! I cannot wait to get this unhinged piece of chaos into reader's hands. #debutnovel @gracedemyan @RebeccaTheGeek

Reason 4 that I’m basically my FMC: I also respond to discomfort and actual threats of bodily harm with snark and sarcasm.

Morally black and hellbent on revenge? But daddy I love him!

Reason 3 that I’m just like the main character of my novel: I also have a soft spot for a bad boy I can fix.

Sure, Snow is saving the world from evil Gods and I’m raising three kids, running a business, and writing novels but who’s judging. Comparison is the thief of joy, right?

Reason 2 that I am basically the main character of my novel: I also live on caffeine and candy while focusing on an important job.

And no, a tall-dark-and-handsome stranger in a baseball cap did *not* rescue me. Rude.

It’s come to my attention that I am basically the main character of my novel: Reason 1: I just jogged ten minutes down the road chasing my son in flats and now I’m hunched over at a table of a coffee shop begging for death.

@ElizabethKaida I try not to edit a first draft but there are times when it’s definitely the right move. Especially expansions or worldbuilding stuff that develops as I write.

612 words today. Expanded a previous chapter. Ppl say don’t edit a first draft. I can’t help myself.

6am writing sprint before the kids woke up. 621 words.

@ElizabethKaida Such a big number!!!! I hate endings so I’m with you over here at 75K

Hit 80k in my WIP today. If only I felt anywhere near the finish line with this story 😂. It’s there somewhere…if I squint.

I’ve been reading a lot of ebooks and fancy hardcovers lately but picking up a mass market paperback is the essence of nostalgia.

@ElizabethKaida Ooh okay good to know. I’ll move it up the list

@AlessSpaulding Yeaaa it was a good read! The romance felt a little weak to me. And the opening could have been 80 pages shorter. But the alchemy syndicates were super dark and fun to read about.

Word written and reading Red City today. The mafia vibes are vibing.

This week, in drafting, we have disembodied table voices, palimpsest worlds, and creepy people in mirrors.

@ElizabethKaida I’m limping today with 200. And so it goes.

@AlessSpaulding 😂 thank you very much Miss 1000 words. We limp towards the finish line this month.

Got my work out in, my words written and a friend’s piece edited, just in time for dinner.

@ElizabethKaida Pirate Queen space ship?! Yesssss

512 words today! Exploring the ruins of a pirate queen’s space ship.

@LexiHeathermoor @gracedemyan @itsDev_James @ElizabethKaida I read in a 17 hour window while watching multiple children. It was a wild day.

@gracedemyan @itsDev_James @ElizabethKaida @AlessSpaulding Oh, hell yeah I am. Who could say no to this???

April 1st is no joke with @gracedemyan. The race for 30K begins today and you know I ain’t a quitter. Let’s go!!! @LexiHeathermoor @ElizabethKaida @itsDev_James

@itsDev_James @ElizabethKaida @gracedemyan @LexiHeathermoor Ahhh. The distractions are real

@ElizabethKaida @AlessSpaulding @gracedemyan @LexiHeathermoor My copy came in the mail today! I have to hide it from myself! Plus I have Remy in my inbox. Taunting meeeee
