This white binder now contains my finished revisions of my novel in verse, the fourth round of revisions as a matter of fact, and I’m so freaking proud of it. Now, to get it ready for my agent to read it! #amwritingya

#WIPSnips word of the day 'cake' - used in the most untraditional way here in my YA novel-in-progress.
#amwritingya #writingcommunity #writers #authors #writingprompts #romcom
A looming shadow stretches across the courtyard. Queen Banshee, wearing her vampire smile and signature fingerless gloves. Her red dress and layered skirt look like a blood-soaked wedding cake. I square my shoulders.

Me: I think Mullet Man from my book is a himbo.
Teen: (shaking their head, pulls up diagram)
Me: Ooooo, or not. He's got the stupid part down!

#WIPSnips word of the day "doll".
Can't believe it was in my YA-novel-in-progress, but here it is!
#amwritingya #writingcommunity #writers #authors #writingprompts #romcom
I swear to myself, this is the last time I allow someone to dress me like goth Barbie or any other doll. I’ll nail the competition, then go back to being normal Kat.

#WIPSnips word of the day "one"
From the opening scene of my YA Rom-com in the query stage.

#amwritingya #writingcommunity #writers #authors #writingprompts
I run as fast as my worn-out Converse let me, leaping into the air and grasping the dumpster’s ridge. With shaking arms, I hoist one leg up. Puffing a damp red curl out of my face, I hope nobody comes around the corner and finds me ridiculously clinging onto the edge of a trashcan.

#WIPSnips word of the day "iron" - Kat at her apartment...
From my YA Rom-com "The Canon of Katrina Quinn" (in the querying trenches)

#amwritingya #writingcommunity #writers #authors #writingprompts #romcom
I lean against the blistered wrought iron railing and dig for my Class of 2012 keychain. The miry smell of rain lingers on the breeze. That smell used to remind me of the years we were stationed in South Carolina when I was younger. Now it only brings back memories of the first time Dad locked me out of the Terrace Yikes apartment.

Step 1 - Use dumpster to get into abandoned warehouse. NOTE: after dark the stoner gang comes. Step 2- Sneak across warehouse floor Step 3 - Frantically practice on out of tune piano so I won’t choke on stage tomorrow

From "The Canon of Katrina Quinn" Meet ‘Mullet Man’... Mullet Man waves a hand boasting a clunky class ring the size of a cherry tomato. “So this is your daughter, Mrs. Quinn? I must’ve got her mixed up with her friend.” He winks at Rhea, then glides closer—chest first—showcasing gold chains à la John Travolta in Stayin’ Alive.

It’s not REJECTION, it’s REDIRECTION. 😂🙌🫶 Shout out to the #writers ✍️ Rejection is a huge part of publishing. How do you cope/keep hope alive?

We LOVE our local paper and are honored to be on the cover. Reporter Claire Allison wrote a lovely article about our search for a home in New Zealand, and why we landed in Timaru. 💜

#WIPSnips word of the day "wax"
From YA romcom "The Canon of Katrina Quinn

#amwriting #amwritingya #writers #writingcommunity
Mr. Phelps never said I had to place in the Stage 1 competition. Just perform. But that’s the tricky part, not helped by memories of this same backstage hall from two years ago when Mother— Nope. Uh-uh. Not going back there. Breathe. Positive thoughts. You can do this. I repeat this mantra, breathing deep breaths of air tinged with decades of musty costumes, oiled instruments, and waxy stage makeup.
