#RevPit '26 shortlist QUERYING NOW! I like my neuros like I like my chili: SPICY. "I am not yet so low but that my nails can reach unto thine eyes." Hermia from A Midsummer Night's Dream
I'm a day late, but Yellen always has the most incredible of tales to tell...
As someone who is both deeply type A as well as ADHD, I strongly believe in having a plan in place. I present to you my literal map. Please note, it ends with querying…. After several circles of editing hell.
ASHMARKED Raised in a ruthless Faith system, a woman discovers its power is sustained by a Darkness bound to her life. When the truth marks her as a threat, she must sever the tether before she becomes the monster the Faith needs to justify its power, its violence, and lies... #A #F #Q #PosterPit

I found this deeply offensive weirdly round spoon at work. Someone needs to lose their job over creating this any thinking it was a good idea. Anyway, I left it for my other neurospicy coworker to hate too.
Sometimes you just need to take a break and go watch some robots.
I tried the mood board thing again. I am still not good at it. I'm a Plantser, so this will change as I go. I'm working on a book set in 19th-century Iron Range Minnesota... Magic is mined, processed, and perfected at the right ratios... and no one knows what they're mining. Already used "ope."
This is Sir Stinky-Breath, Goobie McGoober Butt, First of His Name (whom we refer to as Oscar). He was put together with spare parts, but we think he's a maltise-poodle mix. He's older than my family itself, and we love him dearly. He's really showing his age lately, and it's hard to watch.
I just pulled out the most foul, offensive fork at my office. I won't even show you the bottom because it is NOT symmetrical (which should be punishable by a $20,000 fine and up to 3 years in prison). But explain to me why this fork has hips....
Pablo Neruda's poem in One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII is what we used as our vows when I got married. My husband did a verse in Spanish, I responded with the English verse. I had to share this because it is the closest to perfection a human can get.
Oooooh ONE image, eh? I'll try. Believe it or not, it's a story about consent and the things we willingly give away to the institutions around us.
Strong name for strong women! I make cutting boards and other sundry items. It was too cold to do much outside but I also made these rad coasters for my David Bowie themed birthday party using only stain.
My friend told me there was a live action beauty and the beast at one point… and I was deceased to find this.
