“We are so back” I whisper to myself as the query rejections roll in 😂 all part of the process! Every rejection is a redirection 🩵

Just hit 120 subscribers on YouTube!! Come hang and watch me try to grow my author career 🥹🩵 youtube.com/@kristinmarz...

Full YouTube video of me submitting my first round of queries to literary agents is up! Enjoy me being an anxious lil nugget, sending my work out into the world! #amquerying youtu.be/6940QFq5onI?...

I have officially queried my next book (a second chance romance inspired by Happy Place by Emily Henry) to my first round of agents! Weeeeee! #amquerying

At a whopping 93k words, my next romance book is done and dusted, and ready to send off to literary agents this week !!! #amquerying

Might be looking for an artist to design some bookish merch for me! Would give a lot of creative freedom here because it’s not my zone of genius. If you or anyone you know may be interested, lmk!

Does anyone have a recap of Legendborn & Bloodmarked I could watch/listen to before I read Oathbound??

First full read through of my manuscript is done and it went better than I thought ✅✅ Dare I say, I’m growing to like my own writing, a wild concept for me, I fear. I think after copy editing I may be ready to query it???

Twelve chapters deep into editing & really grateful I’ve gotten better at writing first drafts 😂 Previous books had me doing huge rewrites and this one hasn’t been that way at all. Thank god 💀

It’s editing day!!! Two chapters down and yall are not ready for this next book. It’s truly my best writing yet. For lovers of second chance romances with all the tension and banter. I can’t wait to query this one (am I crazy for saying this??)

And when Fall Out Boy said “I could write it better than you ever felt it” I understood fully

There are rumors that Harry Styles is finalizing a contract for a 35 night residency at The Sphere in Vegas and istg if it’s true and I don’t get tickets, I will riot 😭😭

It’s almost time to pick up my manuscript to begin edits before I query with it in the spring. Am I more excited or nervous? Only time will tell!!!!

Prepared to be let down by the Oscar’s tonight 🩵

It’s one of those days where I need to listen to the Hamilton soundtrack on repeat all day.

What’s everyone currently reading?? I’m in a reading slump!! Send help

This has to be the most boring season of Love Is Blind ever. Go on girl, give us nothing!!

Finished the shadow and bone trilogy today! Gonna take a lil breaky break and switch genres for a sec before I dive into the six of crows duology but I’m excited to give it a go and see what everyone is obsessed with!!

Saw Urinetown last night & it confirmed that if Jordan Fisher is in a show, I’m going to go see it. Absolutely incredible and relevant!!

Explain to me where people find the audacity? I had someone come into the comment section of a video of mine about my book and say it was trash. Never smashed the block button so hard in my life.

Younger was such a good show up until the end! Why does no one in television know how to write a solid ending??

The Oscars need to take notes. The Grammys got called out for their bs and they course corrected, giving us one of the BEST award shows I’ve seen in a while. Time for the academy to step up and do the same.

Emilia Perez is quite literally the worst movie I’ve ever seen.

Idk what happened to me this week but I got super sick on Monday night and today is the first day I’m feeling better & have been able to eat a real meal. Stay safe out there yall

Starting Shadow & Bone today. My first Leigh Bardugo book ever. Excited to see what all the hype is about!

America is gonna go up in flames the same way Twitter did because Elon Musk bought us out

Someone explain to me why I struggle to DNF books? I’m in the middle of one now that is just kinda meh and my brain is like “but we need to know how it ends!” Do we though? Because we’ll probably forget in a week when we read something better…

I hit 100 YouTube subscribers!!! Omg!!!

My first draft is done 😭😭😭😭 hopefully it’ll be ready and off to literary agents this spring!!! #writingcommunity

I’m at 89 YouTube subscribers! Do we think I can hit 100 by the end of the month?!

Ok but I love the way V.E. Schwabb writes, her syntax is so intentional, every sentence flows right into the next. And her personification & similes are unmatched! (Having an author crush moment it’s fine!!!!)

85k words and the bare bones of my manuscript is done!! I’ll go back when my brain is less fried and spruce it up, it’ll probably end closer to 5k words but I just wrote the final scene like what?! Can’t believe I’ll be querying again in the spring!! #WritingCommmunity

I love when I wake up in the mood to write! Just hit 80k words on my WIP! I can’t believe I’m closing in on the ending. #writingcommunity

How I know I’m not doing well: I am bawling to the season finale of Xo Kitty 😂😭😂😭

One of my neighbors is blasting I Will Always Love You and singing v loudly to it and I kinda wanna go over there and join??

Updated my Pango! Looking to clear out my shelves. I take v good care of my books!! pangobooks.com/bookstore/kz...

Ok so I see the suppression of videos on TikTok happening in realtime. I posted a book rec video of books to help people get through the next 4 years (with books primarily by BIPOC authors) and it’s been up for an hour with a staggering 40 views… sheeeeeesh

YOU GUUYYYSSS!! I hit 75 subscribers on YouTube!! Why do I feel a lil bit famous lmfaooo. Come join my fam bam!! youtube.com/@kristinmarz...

I keep going back & forth about getting alpha readers to look over this book before I send it to literary agents, but I need to find people who will really take care of the narrative and characters (i.e challenge me to think more about what I’ve written). I think I need to just clone myself tbh 😂

And then the ravens lose their playoff game. This week has been the worst.

Does anyone else’s TikTok algorithm feel… off… or am I just paranoid? Can’t put my finger on what it is but something ain’t right.
