'Steady for This' by Nathaniel Lessore! It's belly-achingly funny and almost every line is brilliant, like some gloriously written stand-up set. Definitely a fun read for adults too.

Yay! Congratulations! Getting stuck on a chapter and somehow managing to push through is always such an achievement. 😅

Thank you! Ironically, I only started writing consistently once I had kids as it meant I used and valued every bit of spare time I had.

73k/80k. Wrote a slightly vomit-inducing chapter (the darkness of this thing is wild). I'm not writing chronologically but it should all slot together soon.

68k/80k. Forcing myself to write through the coughs and snivels. Hopefully next week, I'll be clearer-headed.

All spritely now. :) They just had a cold/cough, so thankfully nothing too serious.

Squee! Is this what I think it means? CONGRATULATIONS! From your snippets, it would be a CRIME if you didn't end up with rep. I'm so happy for you. 🥳

As for my YA horror, I've had some great personalised and actionable feedback from agents, so I'm going to do another pass on that before sending out more queries. I've just got to remind myself not to give up after sending like 40 queries then de facto shelving it out of procrastination. 🙄
