Then I finished writing my book proposal and sent it off for critique. I received some critique back and though most was good, one was discouraging that I had to move past, but I kept positive. Then my agent emailed me and told me that a book in my genre was just published called <i>Red Hood <\/i>so now the new working title is <i>The Rose in the Wolf<\/i>. I was really bummed at that news and I&#8217;m still working through it but I&#8217;m trying to stay positive. And I&#8217;m sending off the chapters with the new title tonight.

I\u2019ve been meaning to see this movie since I first saw the trailers and then my cousin reminded me of its existence and I promptly watched it. It truly is anime done right. Admittedly I have not read the manga but just by the tone and character designs it felt far more Japanese than the live action flops that were Ghost in the Shell and Death Note. Screenwriter James Cameron was actually inspired by Ghost in the Shell to make Avatar so he actually knows a thing or two about Eastern storytelling. Alita and Ido have just the cutest relationship and I dig the quirky anime villains. I really hope a sequel is made! \u2022 \u2022 Writing Update: My goal is to go through another beta\u2019s feedback tonight! \u2022 \u2022 #alitabattleangel #alita #anime #animemovie #movie #japanese #animeliveaction #geek #geekgirl #geeklife #writersofinstagram #writer #writerslife #amediting #edits<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\">A post shared by <a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/travelingtoristories\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Victoria Grace Howell (Tucker)<\/a> (@travelingtoristories) on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2020-02-23T22:22:21+00:00\">Feb 23, 2020 at 2:22pm PST<\/time><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: , 'blinkmacsystemfont' , 'segoe ui' , 'roboto' , 'helvetica' , 'arial' , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"><br \/>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">4.)
