I’m on a comp search. Currently reading The Diary of a Country Priest. Unexpectedly loving it. It’s perfect for my Father Matthias. It is from 1937. ⊂（·___·）⊃ Anyone read anything written in this century that fits the same deep interior rural parish vibe? #writesky #writingcommunity #booksky

Beta reader (for June). I’m looking for a handful of folks interested in a literary short novel centering on faith, desire, and devotion. Less a fall from grace and more an expansion beyond church borders. A love story in the end. #CampRevPit #ABCPit #A #LF #HR #R #LGBT #ContentW

Can you find the lie for Matthias and Ruin? 👀 🌱 Started as a gothic paranormal 🌱 Planned as a novella 🌱 Matthias’ original name was Maximillian #CampRevPit #CRPBeeMine #CampTrivia

This about sums me up when revising. Up all night. Staring at walls until it clicks. #CampRevPit #CRPBeeMine #GifRevisions

Father Matthias and Ruin have a few but the rest you can only see if you squint and rearrange everything. 🌱 forbidden love 🌱 touch starved 🌱 found family 🌱 “I can fix him” only Matthias actually doesn’t have to fix anything #CampRevPit #CRPBeeMine

#CRPCabinRaids #CRPBeeMine #CampRevPit I’ve already cast Father Matthias ❤️ Bonus: he’s already played a vicar. Hi, James Norton 👋 He is the vibes. Already done.

Father Matthias’ flaw is being unable to show himself mercy. He blesses and absolves others, but isn’t able to give himself the same grace. It derails his peaceful rural parish life because now he has to work through that and Ruin ❤️ #CampRevPit #CRPBeeMine

Some Ruin lore ❤️ #CampRevPit #CRPBeeMine #DialogueDrop

Catholic Guilt is the only villain at St. Florian’s parish. Its doling out repression, confession, and five Hail Marys (1 for each finger of the sinning hand). When it comes to Ruin? It only has one thing to say: “Exorcizamus te, omnis immunde spiritus…” #CampRevPit #VillainVoices #CRPBeeMine

Father Matthias has been a priest for 25 years (I’m including seminary). Also yay for older MMCs, he is 40. He’s also very unprepared for the loving chaos Ruin brings. #CampRevPit #CRPBeeMine

#CampRevPit #CRPBeeMine I have 5 chapters left in this first draft and the end has never looked further away 😅 My current state in this hike up the hill:

Hi! I am a writer with too many WIPs. I promise to keep it focused—they all have romance! Because kisses are fun. I am near done with a draft for a historical/spec. 1749 Bavaria. A priest. A shapeshifting nature spirit. And a rather challenging, hot summer. #CampRevPit #CampKickoff #CRPBeeMine

First contact has more paperwork than Gloria ever imagined. A MEMORY CALLED EMPIRE X CALAMITY X SWALLOWED ✨ First contact but make it workplace rivals to lovers ✨ Aliens with rainbow hair ✨ Grumpy X (Flirty) Sunshine ✨ Anti-Capitalist ✨ LGBTQ+ Cast ✨ Colorful Sci-Fi #PosterPit #Q #SF #R #A

1749. A rural priest. A liminal shapeshifter who smells of honeysuckle. One summer in Bavaria where devotion and desire become indistinguishable, and the breviary can’t hold it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ “Oh, Mattie. A name he’d never known yet it ached with familiarity.” #PosterPit #WIP #A #R #HF #SPF

If it wasn't enough that aliens arrive at the same time as her crew on an otherwise uninhabited planet, Gloria now has to facilitate first contact, resolve their territory dispute, and not get distracted by her new feelings for the ostentatious leader of said aliens. #PosterPit #Q #SF #R #A

I made another for Father Matthias in FRUIT OF RUIN because it was too fun not to. Not pictured is the golden eyed, liminal shapeshifter that’s been disturbing his summer. And tugging that cassock from him. #amquerying #amwriting #writesky
