Your Book is Not Your Baby aka It Only Takes (the Right) One

Posted on November 19, 2017     Leave a Comment

Ok. This post is going to do double duty. First, your book is not your baby. Honestly, I hate this expression. Not because your book isn’t an intensely important personal creation. I get that. What I take issue with is the assumption that your art is inviolable. You write a book. Unpaid. For years. Pouring […]

YEEESSS!!! Love it!!! #Repost @kellycoon106 ・・・ 🔥 TITLE REVEAL!!!🔥 ⠀⠀ I am so excited I get to share the title and publication date of the GRAVEMAIDENS sequel today!! My editor at @delacortepress and I have been working hard to make this a spectacular conclusion to the duology. Here’s what you can expect! ⠀⠀ 🔥5 Facts about WARMAIDENS 🔥 ⠀⠀ bit.ly/warmaidens ⠀⠀ ⚔️An assassination attempt draws a pacifist like Kammani directly into the line of fire, and makes her question everything she believes about war. ⠀⠀ 🦂 Scorpion warrior maidens who are bent on bloodshed may not be as honorable as they claim to be. ⠀⠀ 👑 A city-state in peril needs a new leader. Problem? That person wants nothing to do with a crown. ⠀⠀ ❤️ When Kammani’s relationship with Dagan interferes with her plans, she has to decide if trusting her gut is worth the loss of control. ⠀⠀ 💀 The Boatman haunts Kammani’s dreams because there’s something very particular her wants her to do. The question is: Can she actually do it? ⠀⠀ Thank you to @ldcrichton for this kickass video and to everyone who has been so excited about GRAVEMAIDENS 2!!! You can add it on Goodreads via the link in my bio! ————————————————— . . . . . . ⠀⠀ #becauseofreading #bibliophile #bookaddict #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #goodreads #readingismagic #welovebooks #igreads #bookworm #bookgram #booklover #bookcommunity #bookclub #bookfeature #bookishfeature #booknerd #booksbooksbooks #booksofig #bookstagramfeature #bookwormlife #bookwormsfeature #bookwormsunite #epicreads #featuredbooklovers #littlebookworm #prettybooks #readersofinstagram #unitedbookstagram
One major thing I *know* is going to happen this year? The release of my second book! . HALF LIFE hits shelves 6/9/20, and I am so excited for readers to meet Lucille and Lucy 💗💙. . Near future sci-fi, loads of real science cranked to 11, pitched as Black Mirror meets Becky Albertalli, and stuffed full of debates about individuality and society’s unmeetable expectations, especially for young women, this book is my ode to teenage girls and finding your self worth 💗💙. . #halflifebook #youreworthit
Beginning as I mean to go. . 2019 was A LOT. A lot of incredible. A lot of anxiety. A lot of shifting my expectations, and more, shifting my *perspective*. . I have SO MUCH to be grateful for, and I learned SO MUCH. About myself and my goals and my process. I made new, lifelong friends with some of the best people I’ve had the incredible luck to meet. I finished writing and editing a book (HALF LIFE!!) that I’m *massively* proud of. I wrote an epic proposal for a new book that I hope will find a home soon. I planned an entirely new book that I’ll start drafting soon. And I resurrected this beast, that I’m rapidly falling back in love with. . So! 2020! I’m heading into this year with big plans and a few hopes, and more than both of those, a better understanding of myself. . Happy New Year, friends!!! I hope your 2020 is filled with good news, good people, good books, and good work. 💗 . . . . #happynewyear #2020 #amwriting
