Happy Cirno Sunday! The current vibe is: short indie games! There's a lot of cool indie games out there that can be beaten in under 3 hours! One of my recent favorites is Little Wings Deliveries, it was so cute and joyful 🥹 I hope you have a wonderful day, I send love and positivity your way 💛☺️

Final bump!

LOVE HITS BIG is a roller derby romp with razor sharp banter, chaotic but relatable characters, adorable cats and dogs, and best of all, two dummies sharing a single brain cell who fall in love despite a tacit agreement to do no such thing.

Sample of writing: The text is accompanied by the cutest picture of Pawvel and Crouton curled up on my be—no, not ‘my.’ Laying on the guest bed. Owen: i think the boys like you more than me Owen: they won’t leave your room Owen: they miss their new mom Fighting the upward curve of my lips is impossible. Syd: Maybe if you were nicer? Fed them more snacks? They love me because they get cute accessories and snuggles Owen: maybe if you were here to snuggle it would be better? ;) Syd: You want your dogs to humiliate you? They would definitely choose me Owen: oh i think all three of us would choose you, no question

In red text on a holly themed background: An Agent's Guide to Three's the Season! On the far left side is an image of two women and a non-binary person in front of the US Congress building. A red Santa hat caps off the title.

Comps for a new novel: Three's the Season. These include KISS HER ONCE FOR ME due to the sapphic yearning with all the feels. TRIPLESEC for the polyamorous romance. A MERRY LITTLE MEET CUTE for the spicy yuletide shenanigans.

The pitch: After suffering a humiliating public meltdown, grieving lawyer Charlotte seeks solace with her two best friends- only to be caught off guard by unexpected romantic feelings. By Christmas Day, she'll have to decide between starting fresh in a new city or risking her friendships for a second shot at love in this holiday RomCom set in Washington DC.

The Snippet: I slide into my office: Charlotte Sanders-Stewart Esq. emblazoned on the door. The vinyl lettering is a bit chipped, but that’s to be expected after ten years. I take out my laptop from my sensible Kate Spade tote, slip out of my sensible sneakers and into my slippers. Yes, I have a pair of office heels in my bottom desk drawer, I wasn’t raised in a barn. But most meetings are on zoom anyway so my black Jimmy Choo's that I bought with my first ‘big girl’ paycheck have mostly been collecting dust for the last five years. By the way, my office is gorgeous, the floor to ceiling windows with an amazing view of the Washington skyline. Real romantic comedy shit. Like Katherine Heigl should play me in the movie they make about my life. Just make sure that it ends seven years ago with the big white wedding and not like now with the dead husband. Kind of puts a damper on the whole Nancy Meyers vibe you know?

Hallmark Meets Poly: THREE'S THE SEASON

Grieving lawyer Charlotte enlists her 2 best friends to finish her late husband's last wish: the Christmas List. When unexpected romantic feelings emerge she'll have to decide whether to risk her found family for a second chance at love.

A moodboard featuring nine photos in a 3x3 grid shape. From left to right, top to bottom: 1. A shot from the back of a person wrapping their arm around another person. They’re both leaning on each other, while sitting down. They appear to be next to a river or pond and sitting on grass. 2. Hands holding up a flower crown. 3. A close-up of an elf-like, long pointy ear. Colorized to be almost black and white. 4. A hand holding up dirt with what appears to be parts of a plant. Below it a patch of dirt with more green plant parts can be seen. 5. A wooden sign, pointing to the right, with big letters that say, “HOPE.” 6. A hand being stuck in water. The water seems to have dirt and some debris in it. I interpret it as a river. 7. A rustic village with a winding road, lots of trees and greenery, and a cluster of houses visible on the left. 8. Two hands hovering above a green plant. 9. An assortment of five chickens sitting on a wooden fence. Greenery can be seen in the background. (Images from Pinterest)

Blurred image of daisy flowers with text on top of it: Project.Greenfield Playlist: 1. Favorite Place (Humbear) 2. Somewhere Only We Know (Keane) 3. Sunflower (Amber Run) 4. Always Home (Leucadia) 5. Woodland (The Paper Kites) 6. Wolves of Worry (Chance Pena) 7. Waking Up (Sam Burchfield) 8. To Build A Home (The Cinematic Orchestra)

Short Pitch: Set in a war-torn country. An orphaned boy and his older brother feel like everyday is a struggle and a reminder of what they lost. Until one day, when they get the opportunity to move to Greenfield — a small, rustic village on the outskirts of the country and a chance at a real home. There, the boy meets Sam — a mysterious, closed-off girl with pointy ears. Together the two kids realize that facing their internal fears might not be so scary if they don’t have to do it alone.

Dear #litagents, I'm happy to present an #agentsguide for a revised version of MAEVE MONROE AND THE SUNKEN PLACE! Complete at approximately 55k words, MMTSP is a middle-grade contemporary fantasy. This will hit the query trenches this month and be pitched for #DVpit! #amquerying #MG #F

Samantha (Sam): "There. There was a little taste of the fire I was keeping in me my whole life." A 14-year-old half-sylvan, half-human girl who’s just trying to appear normal in a world where her other half is shunned. She has a strange connection with nature that she doesn’t quite understand. Extremely closed-off and untrusting, always carefully constructing her words around other people. She can be very persuasive and sarcastic when she needs to be — both traits she gets from her older sister, and best friend, Tara. Despite the unbothered exterior she tries so hard to maintain, on the inside, she secretly wishes for something more. She’s stubborn and has anger issues.

A moodboard for Sam featuring nine photos in a 3x3 grid shape. From left to right, top to bottom: 1. Close up shot of a pointy elf-like ear. Blonde hair, with a braid running through it is also visible. 2. A collection of potted ferns with a sign in front of them that reads, “FEEL FREE TO TALK TO THE PLANTS. THEY UNDERSTAND.” 3. A hand holding up a knitting project in progress. Yarn and a device playing a video are in the background. 4. Wilting sunflowers. 5. A girl looking up at the sky. She has blonde hair and a flower crown on. 6. Close up shot of someone running their hands through their medium-length blonde hair. 7. Close up of a green sweater vest with a white shirt underneath. 8. A girl reads a book in a grassy clearing. 9. Close up of a closed eye. Lots of freckles can be seen on the skin surrounding it.

Mitali: “Home. What a strange word.” A 14-year-old orphaned boy who’s just trying to survive with his older brother after the war. Plagued with nightmares from what recently happened, Mitali still hasn’t moved on from the grief of losing his parents and his friend. Extremely loyal, kind, and selfless, Mitali hates burdening anyone else with his problems. Though he used to be a loud and very talkative boy, he’s often quiet and somber after what happened. He’s very sentimental and often gets stuck in his own mind. All he really wants is things to go back to the way they were before the war — but he knows that’s not going to happen.

A moodboard for Mitali featuring nine photos in a 3x3 grid shape. From left to right, top to bottom: 1. A person with short hair sits up in their bed. The picture suggests the person might be worried or having trouble sleeping. 2. A blurred outline of a person running through the woods. 3. A building with graffiti on it that says, “THIS WAS HOME.” 4. A shadow of someone with two twin braids. 5. Close up shot of someone with dark hair, brown skin, and brown eyes. 6. A hand holding loosely onto the arm of a teddy bear. 7. A hand wearing fingerless gloves with a sparrow gently on top of it. 8. Close up shot of a tattered sweater that’s full of holes. 9. A blown-up building in black and white.
