Jessica DeLand - Writer (is querying again)

Thanks to everyone for the support during #UnhingedPit! I ended up having a bit of time during the event to make some new crazed pitches and even snuck in one for my current WIP 👀. Thanks for all the laughs and for putting up with my insanity. #WritingCommunity for the win! 🙌

Really raking it in here, lol This is from an anthology I'm in, Small Shifts: Short Stories of Fantastical Transformation. Two years & I haven't broken $10. 😂 It's only $5 for Kindle or $6.54 for paperback, if anyone's interested. ☺️ #WritingCommunity amazon.com/Small-Shifts-S…

While I wait to hear back on my #smallpitch submission, I've broken my early pregnancy writing hiatus to finish getting the extensive world building in line for my WIP. It involves a lot of research and processing, so I've been putting it off, lol. #writingcommmunity #amwriting

Wow, a #unhingedpit like on my WIP yesterday and a #SmallPitch request on my querying book today! After months of nothing but rejections, this was exactly the lift I needed! 🥲☺️ #WritingCommunity

FMC: *spends entire life pretending not to see mythological creatures no one else can see* *finds a 9-tailed fox boy about to get killed* *drops pretences to save him & gets magically chained within ten feet of him for her trouble* 🤦‍♀️ #Unhingedpit #W #YA #F #R #DIS #OwnVoices

FMC: *gets traumatically kidnapped* Love Interest: "That didn't go well." Foil: "So this is my fault?" LI: 🤬 "Everything is ALWAYS your fault!" *LI and Foil devolve into childish bickering* FMC: 😳 I've been kidnapped by unstable maniacs 🤦‍♀️ #unhingedpit #Q #YA #F #M #R #MH

I told my husband I was doing #UnhingedPit and he sent me this meme. It fits too well, I had to use it for IF ALL ELSE WAS GOLD. #NA #Q #DF #UnhingedPit
