Yeah, Katz! That’s the good kind of fighting, I’d say.
Update: my husband was able to clear up some of my confusion regarding the knit stitch. The instructions kept saying “from front to back” when the needles are round. He explained what was meant by that. Also counter clockwise. I’ll keep working at it; I tell myself that if I can bake sourdough bread from scratch without a recipe, this will not defeat me. Invictus!
Fuck. I am in the EXACT wrong mindframe to be able to do something like Pitch Wars. I’m prepping for trauma shit, gearing up for a writeathon in a couple weeks, I haven’t touched Princess and Monster in years…
@LBT, don’t do it. Another Pitch Wars will come along, and it will be MUCH BETTER if you don’t collapse in the middle of everything. Trauma is coming. Don’t add extra stress.
This message has been brought to you by burn out and many tears.
Yeah, I think I totally misunderstood Pitch Wars, not realizing it’d require more research, and dammit brain, why NOW? *sigh*
Trying to clear my head here, but honestly, maybe using the old P&M draft isn’t a terrible idea. I’ve been really failing at the restructuring, and I’m still not sure if it’s the right idea.
Just… goddammit. I was looking forward to this for WEEKS, and it looks like I’ve totally bollocksed it up. *headdesk*
(also it’s a little embarrassing that I can sell giant monstercock porn directly to my fanbase and be totally fine, but throw in one agent or editor and I go deer-in-headlights)

Well, even if I don’t do it now, I can at least learn query letters and get to work on gearing up for next time! Can you recommend a resource on that, katz? It’s the only thing I’m totally ignorant about.
Oh lord, yeah, if that shit goes down in early September, it’d be a terrible idea for me to do it. I’ll be in the depths of writeathon then. I won’t have time for ANYTHING else, creative-wise.

Or “couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy,” as in “if he had been a nicer guy, it wouldn’t have happened.”
Fuck you, Chase, for literally giving me overdraft fees after I transferred money via PayPal to correct a negative balance. Fuck you.
That sucks. Fuck Chase. And fuck PayPal while we’re at it.
There are mentors on Twitter right now fighting over my manuscript! This is a thing that is happening!
Yay for Katz!
Yay Kaaaaatzzzz! Ten thousand clapping sounds!
Yay Katz!
Yay for Katz!
*throws confetti for katz, dog offers congratulatory barking*
Congratulations!
I shall celebrate with a new military people with adorable kitties picture. (Plus bonus falcon!)

D8 I AM NOT PREPARED WHAT DO.
LBT, it’s not the right time. They do this every 6 months. You’ve been working on P&M for years; it won’t hurt to wait for the next one.
@LBT, don’t do it. Another Pitch Wars will come along, and it will be MUCH BETTER if you don’t collapse in the middle of everything. Trauma is coming. Don’t add extra stress.

Everyone does. It’s terrifying.

For writing queries? Hmm. I will think.
@katz: a little late to the party, but nthing congratulations! What happens next?
Now I bite my fingernails until September 3, when the mentors announce their choices.

September 3! Why do they make you wait so long? 0_o (I know it’s not that long in the grand scheme of things but still.)
Crossing fingers and toes for you!
