I've honestly found that I respond much better to criticism than I'd thought I would, with the beta reading process! I've had one reader who was really blunt, verging on harsh, and I thought this kind of thing would be difficult for me but mostly I found it hilarious. I loved her comments. Like she's totally right about everything, what can I say! Called tf out, as I should be

How much of your book is done writing?

My book is about 67,000 words right now. It's in first/second draft phase which means I've pretty much gotten the story out. It doesn't have an ending yet, tho. Womp womp.

Novel writing is so much different because you gotta write the whole thing before you edit it. Can't go chapter by chapter like you do with fanfic. So is anything done? No hahaha.

I'm going through it now and editing it a lot. And getting so much feedback that I'm honestly glad to be taking a little break because if I hear one more person tell me my characters feel flat I'm gonna lose it.

Quick Cy and Tiger sketch

Legit I think this is the first drawing I’ve made where these two are interacting and on screen together, so erm, it just had to be silly. Anyways I’m excited to write these two together in the next arc of my novel 🥰✨

IM CURIOUS ABOUT THE NOVEL!

having no knowledge of it i will ask.....what has been your favorite portion to write so far and why?

It's unapologetically self indulgent pastoral fantasy, so I have been delighting in writing the stuff that I personally love about pastoral fantasy: lengthy nature descriptions and horribly detailed accounts of every meal they ear!! Think Redwall, think Tolkien, but violently ecofeminist :)))

i have a few questions for you about yoru book and not about you're book..... why write a book instead of fanfics? why did you decide to go that road instead of the road so far in dads car? are you just writing one book or are their going to be more? what does arc mean? will the contests be available here? will your book have any triggers? and will you come back to write dean/jensen again?

sorry for the oerbearing amount of questions! its just rare you post and i want to ask everything i can! i hope your having a good day jen! we miss you here💚

Hi there! I'm happy to answer any questions you have! I do check in to Tumblr a couple of times a week. I'm just quiet about it, is all!

Why write a book instead of fanfics? I fell in love with reading again a couple of years ago. I mean, really fell in love with it. It's always been on my list of things I want to accomplish. The timing just felt right and it has been an amazing process for far! Don't get me wrong, I loved writing fics, but this was a journey I wanted to take myself on to really test my limits and see where it got me.

Why did I decide to go down that road? (I love the way you worded this!) I wanted to be able to share my writing with more people. Specifically, my IRL friends so they don't have to watch 15 seasons of a show in order to understand something. I want to be able to share my writing with more people in my life. Not my mom! Definitely not my mom! But my friends who have always supported my writing as an "outsider" and have been dying to read something.

Am I writing one book or will there be more? There will be more. Mutual Benefits is one book out of four in an interconnected series. All will be different hockey players on the team. All friends. All will be introduced in the first book.

What does ARC mean? Advanced Reader Copy. So the books I will send out before the release date in order to gain some traction and interest in the book, along with some early reviews.

Will the contest be available here? Yes. There will be a contest on here you can enter which will include a signed copy of the book and other goodies!

Will the book have triggers? YES! Like my fics on here, there is an author's note/ warning page before you start the book that will list all triggers, or it will have a QR code for you to scan/click which will take you to a page with a full list of them. My reader's safety is a priority!

Will I come back to write Dean/Jensen? Probably! I do have some odds and ends I want to finish up and share. It won't be for a little while though.

Thank you for your list of questions! I enjoyed answering them! You guys will see the cover next week when I reveal it. I don't want to spam too much with my book content on here so most of the little teasers will be shared on my Instagram/Instagram stories!

I hope you have a great weekend! 💜💜
