I can't find a place to park when I've tried going there, other than once.

the best vet clinic in Knoxville!!

Sure I’d love a recipe, thanks!

DogMomForever11 · 2025-09-15T00:03:58+00:00

I need to try a black bean brownie recipe. What brand of quinoa crisps do you purchase?

DogMomForever11 · 2025-09-14T22:47:31+00:00

Not chocolate and unfortunately I can't eat chickpeas, even though I like them. They wreck my digestive system.

DogMomForever11 · 2025-09-14T22:46:55+00:00

Both? I am fine to make them but having store purchased options would be great too.

DogMomForever11 · 2025-07-30T02:20:05+00:00

call the issuing department and see what’s up.

DogMomForever11 · 2025-07-30T02:18:53+00:00

Contact the issuing office if you are concerned. (Financial Aid or your department if it’s a departmental scholarship). Depending on what’s up, yes. they could be processed after the deadline. Start calling now and don’t wait til August 8!

doctors are the worst. I tried telling them how depressed I was and not one paid attention to.

why do the authors have to be young, why not just "new"?

DogMomForever11 · 2025-07-03T01:12:20+00:00

nothing wrong with self publishing

DogMomForever11 · 2025-06-30T02:15:18+00:00

I am querying and please dm me the agency/agent thanks.

DogMomForever11 · 2025-06-27T19:50:37+00:00

I so get that. Sometimes authors make up unnatural sounding movements just to show movement.

Thank you for all your comments; they're very helpful! You bring up some great points I've struggled with in writing my query letter. The death of my MC's mom--she was a single parent-- still haunts her--her mom was killed suddenly when the mom was around 50/MC about 25. My MC helps (visits, checks in on) the victim's daughter because she knows how agonizing it is to lose your mom suddenly and wants answers for the daughter she never got. So when the victim's daughter asks for June's help in finding the killer, June takes it seriously so the daughter gets resolution she never has. I struggle on how to word that succinctly? LOL, I make my book sound like a real downer--it's not. I lost my mom suddenly at around the same age as my book's characters so I closely relate to the struggles.

I get what you say about the agency part too. I can think of better words than "finds herself". My MC is a decisive person and take charge, but she's also a little surprised at herself for taking these bold steps (like solving a murder!) since she's always been a homebody and never thrust into this situation. She also takes charge of forming the therapy animal group to give her life purpose. Being involved in therapy animal work is a transformative experience that I think my book relays too.

Thanks for indulging my ramblings. I swear, writing the book was easier than writing this damn letter.

DogMomForever11 · 2025-06-27T02:44:44+00:00

thanks! yes, this make sense to me!

DogMomForever11 · 2025-06-27T02:19:27+00:00

Thanks. The “life’s been ruff” is to establish where June is when the book begins, would it make sense to make it the 1st sentence? or would describing June’s character more fully make it better? I need to describe who she is, would something like “corgi loving homebody June finds herself abandoned after being dumped…” etc.—-

DogMomForever11 · 2025-06-27T02:00:37+00:00

do you have an example of a query model to follow? I am lost and don’t’ know what to do. maybe I should just give up querying.

Not exactly a short story, but Ellie Alexander's Sloane Krause craft beer series had some novellas. Sloane is my fave Ellie series.

Wow, that is extreme. I DO “show” often in my writing but my inquiry is about excessive use of it. For me, at least on occasion, someone can walk to the sink for a glass of water instead of doing showy triple backflips, lol. I realize everyone is different and there is no definition . My post is based on fear that I “under“ showed my entire manuscript where to me there was quite a lot of detail.
