my wips
i recently finished a litfic novel called dairy whiskey and am editing it right now, hoping to get it ready for agent submissions in a month or two. i put my heart and soul and blood and bones into it, so if youâd like to dive into the story and read a few excerpts, you can check out the intro here and every other excerpt here!
rock salt is my main wip since finishing dairy whiskey. it is the story of identical twins rain and norah as they move out for college and navigate their lives on their own, which ends up in them growing apart. if you like complicated sibling relationships and the struggles of growing up, youâll love this book!
i so badly want to start writing it, but i donât think iâll be able to until dairy whiskey is in a more secure position. so, there probably wonât be any updates for a few months, but you can read the wip intro here.
this is a gay vignette novel that i started writing back in 2021 as a source of personal joy. this is the story of how a singer-songwriter desperate for normalcy meets a boy with a heart heavy with guilt. this is the story of how they fall in love and itâs honestly quite wholesome <3
i havenât worked on this book in so long and iâve been trying to sneak some words in, but it feels like the book needs a fresh start. i donât know, i just might start it all over again. but until then, hereâs an outdated wip intro.
green room is a literary/experimental memoir documenting my teenage years as a writer. it is a deep dive into craft and how it affects life, particularly how it moulds you as a person. i havenât started drafting this yet, but hereâs a wip intro for now.
so, thatâs about it!
if youâd like to be pinged when i drop a new publication or a wip update, just send me an ask to be added to my general taglist and iâll tag you in those posts.
thank you so much for reading. i hope writing has been going well for you. if not, hereâs some strength, some kindness, and some caffeine to keep going!
â love, ann.
