Margery Bayne is querying

Slowly hearing more and more people coughing over the course of the conference. I fear I may be next. 🙃

Books are
Worlds tucked
Inside words
Printed on
A page,
Ink spill shaped
And molded
Into a transportation
Machine.

I have surprisingly few instances of pursue in anything I'm writing given that my characters are all pursuing something. Here's one from Death & the Dreamer #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #DarkFantasy #Necromancy

It stands for "work in progress" in this context about creative writing projects.

Remember when I said my sci-fi romance does indees include science? It also includes engineering.

Zeal -- my Zeus in my Hades and Persephone retelling-- is the star of show again today. He was really fun to write.

I'm at an age where sitting too long hurts my body.

Any other writers at AWP today?

I feel the urge to dodge my work,
With rhyme and prose; my job to shirk.
I feel the need to write this poesie,
Unlike my task, such play is cosy.
My wish sincere to have things done,
Instead from growing lists I run.

This snip is part if a recurring theme in my story about being self-destructive.

I've heard this advice before, now I just need to actually follow through on it, lol.

First draft out of order. I'm patchworking that story together. Second and subsequent drafts in order. I'm trying to make everything make sense.

My problem is that if I focus on too many writing projects at once, I'll finish none of them. But having a secondary or even tertiary project can be a great way to keep writing when I need a break from my main project.

This is the closest reference to "the media" if not by name, my story has. It's what I immediately thought of when this was today's word.

Dignity is the Demeter of my Hades & Persephone retelling and thus is on an rampage most of the story. I love writing unrepentant angry women. I find it very emotionally satisfying.

The rest of it? The rest of it — feeling for a while intensely understood, the cozy domesticity, being in love — he needed to tuck it away, somewhere deep and guarded inside, until he had healed up strong enough to face it. To face that he had something, lost it, and was afraid he would never have it again.

I'm realizing my go-to character dynamics is idealistic one/jaded one.

My mostly cozy, scifi romance is built on the backstory that humans had to evacuate earth after destroying the environment, so... that's what this snip is about.
