The last time I finished a manuscript was 2021. Since then, I have been in the WORST writing slump. This year a miracle happened and I was able to complete and edit a new manuscript 🫡 Time to return to query trenches after years

I was feeling stuck on my Prom Book and decided to write backwards, since the last few chapters are super clear in my head. It work like wonders. I have NEVER tried this before but highly recommend! #writing #prombook

just read a book review where the reader said they didn't like the desi representation because the parents were shown to be supportive of their teen daughter and the reader couldn't relate —i don't know but maybe we should stop equating representation with relatability.
