Received a rejection, but the agent said she’s interested in seeing other projects. How can one simple line be devastating yet so, so motivating?

Two form passes today, but hey. One was really nice.
AND I wrote 3K today, which means the romcom is nearing 50K. It’s a mess, but that’s a problem for future me. I’ll take it all as good.

- Walking my neighborhood
- Spending tons of time w/family

Bad Dad jokes and bird puns get entangled with murder and international intrigue.
Throw in some found family and ✨FOUND✨ FAMILY, and a James Bond wannabe (or 2), and you have yourself a spy technothriller of quantum proportions

A bit late to the party, but hi! Security copywriter by day.
#amquerying
a bright and shiny rewrite of my spy technothriller about the daughter of the CIA’s best op, featuring an insidious quantum conspiracy to pulverize data privacy.
Any of it. All of it. Give me an IV until I vibrate out of my skin.
(Normal work day calls for a hot coffee with creamer, or iced coffee as a treat. Sometimes I’ll do premade cold brew and add a protein shake to it. 🤤)
Did some fantastic planning and outlining on my second WIP today. Can’t wait to use my long Memorial Day weekend to really dive into this one. Now, if I can just survive work this week…😎

Third Question! 📚 What is your story's sister genre? Aka the secondary genre your book might one day be listed under. Would bookstores classify it as a paranormal romance or a noir spy thriller?
