October & I'm playing 3 puzzles daily: researching agents, writing #querypackages for my #debutnovel & #editing a #novella-in-progress. ❤️❤️ + a good-behavior break. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #amwriting #amwritingfiction #womenwriters #MeredithWrites #literaryfiction #WIP #writersky #authorsky

A gray-haired Caucasian woman wearing a beige backpack stands on an outcrop of rock facing romantic, autumnal views of the Swiss city of Sion and one of its star attractions, the medieval town of Valere, perched on a parallel hill. Despite cloud cover, the sun shines of on the woman's face as she contemplates photographing the scene, and a wind blows back her shoulder-length hair.

What does an LSQ editor do? Read 10–12 submitted stories a month to find the best and proofread them before they go out into the world. Sound fun? Apply by Oct 16: forms.gle/WcYfVWHxkx...

Before I start to write or brew coffee, I do 15 minutes of calisthenics. Get the blood flowing. Some I do outside. The Swiss alpine sky at 5am:

I'm translating my Kannada novel as 'The Mother, the Daughter, and the Polyglot'. My protagonist has just drowned her assailants. Have lost count of the number of times I've been groped and insulted in public places in India. Fiction is my reprieve and my vengeance.
