A reminder from me to y'all Rest is not earned. Rest is a right. Rest is punk af. It's a rebellion against capitalism. You gotta rest. Your body and soul need it. Hyperproductivity can get in a bin and be shot into the sun. Stay punk, fam.

#snippetshare #writingcommunity #amquerying #writesky It’s implied that the characters are reading because it’s a text exchange.

There is a lot of the word heat in my novel because they are in summer but this paragraph is one of my favorites. TW: Discussion of rotting flesh and infected wounds #amquerying #writingcommunity #writesky #WIPSnips

#QueerPromts #amquerying #writingcommunity #writesky I tend to describe the weather when it impacts the scene. If my characters are outside on the roof of a parking garage in the middle of summer they won’t want to be there long because it’s hot and Texas. That’s when I describe it.

#AwesomeCharacters Jessica is just a well groomed person. She can be messy but not a full on slob. Alex is the same way but he has more cleaning tendencies. Since he lives with Tyler who is 99% a mess he’s always cleaning up after her. Tyler’s only clean organized space is her necromancy lab.

#writingcommunity So while I work on self control (aka not sending out my query to 500 agents at once) I’ve started working on research for my next project. Current romance tropes include: Touch them and die, I had no where else to go, friends to lovers 👀

Good morning #writingcommunity Here is today’s #WIPSnips I finally get to share one of my favorite scenes from early on in the book!! #writesky #amquerying #lgbtqwritere

#queerwriters TW: Discussion of deadnaming please only read if you’re in a good headspace. #amquerying #writingcommunity #writesky #lgbtqwriters

No lanterns but I have a flashlight! #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #writesky #amquerying

#QueerPrompts So I don’t have any rain in my novel set in the middle of the unforgiving Texas summer BUT here’s a scene where rain is mentioned. #writingcommunity #writesky #amquerying

You’ll never really be sad if you have a book to read. Unless you read a sad book in which case, stop that.

#LateNightWrite #writingcommunity #writesky I’ve never really been a catch phrase person but Alex tends to be more loose with language he’ll cuss up a storm. Jessica is more reserved and natural in her speech.

#LateNightWrite #writingcommunity #writesky Surprisingly enough the only special language I have is showed in a slur hurled at the MMC who is a zombie. Otherwise the language is pretty natural.

#LateNightWrite #writingcommunity #bluesky I tend to write really beautiful sentences then the next one starts “But, ….” Example: This elevator cost more than she would ever be worth. But, it was stunning.

#ProfilePit #Q #A #LGBTQ After a chance encounter at a premier Austin nightclub, a struggling marketing major named Jessica and a resurrected sex worker named Alex must lean on each other to heal from their fractured pasts while dodging a serial kidnapper with a dark obsession for zombies.

Time to learn about Alex’s food wants and needs as a zombie. #amquerying #WIPSnips #writingcommunity #Bluesky

And last but not least, the idiot MCs from an old fantasy adventure novel that I’m currently revising. This is what happens when I take the song “Solider, Poet, King” as inspiration. #profilepit #WIP #F #LGBT #A

My novel is about dead teens competing for the chance to come back to life. But as they try to change their past, they die off one by one when they fail to overcome the flaws that doomed them the first time. There’s only one survivor. Who would you save? #ProfilePit

#ProfilePit #Q #A #R #LGBTQ After being resurrected and finding his footing as a supernatural sex worker, Alex must balance a blossoming, transformative romance with a struggling artist named Jessica while navigating deep-seated family trauma and evading a serial kidnapper targeting his kind.

#AwesomeCharacters #amquerying #writingcommunity #writesky Alex really enjoys a cactus but keeping plants alive in a necromancer house is hard. Jessica is a huge fan of blue flowers. Her favorite is a hydrangea. Both would love flowers and secretly cry over getting a bouquet.

#QueerWritersChat Sadly no but I dream about it often.

#QueerWritersChat I love romance but you can also catch me in Horror and True Crime.

#QueryWritersChat Hopefully in the romance section. I’d love to be featured on an end cap for pride with Sara Raasch 🤩

#QueerWritersChat Hi everyone. I’m Krystal (she/her). I’m a pan author based in Texas and I’m querying my novel right now. Zombie Manic Pixie Dream Boy meets Type A girl. Can he teach her to let go when there is a serial kidnapper on the loose who kidnapping zombies?

Hollywood studios isn’t the best park you just like star wars more than food.

Lies authors tell themselves: ❌ Rejection means my story/my writing sucks. ❌ I'm not successful unless my book is a bestseller. ❌ I haven't been published by 30, so now it's too late. ❌ I don't have tons of social media followers, so I'll never get published.

#pretendpanel As a pagan I actively read a lot of books about my craft. Mostly reading about the deities I work with and about spell crafting.

You're more concerned about a mother using SNAP to buy cookies for her 10 yr old than you are about billionaires buying 10 yr olds... Wake up.

#WritersCoffeeClub April 10: What's something other writers swear by that you just don't get? Not having a crap draft. Honey I need my draft zero to lay out the bones and flush out the voice. That is my outline. Don’t immediately be perfect just have fun.

#WritingPrompts #amquerying For my MCs I just picked two names I liked together: Alex & Jessica As for Regina I chose her name because of Mean Girls. She was supposed to be a Regina George but she mellowed out. Tyler I picked her name from a list of non-gendered names.

Good morning #writingcommunity I took a break from social media while I got my life together. I’m now in the #amquerying phase of my life. Seeing 13 rejections sucks but at least I don’t feel discouraged. I’m desperately trying to keep myself from submitting batch 2.

Jefferson is the main antagonist. He is aware that he’s gone a little crazy and is actually trying to save Alex from himself but in the end he can’t stop what’s coming. #AntagonistApril #amquerying #writingcommunity #writesky

#AwesomeCharacters #amquerying Alex: As a zombie he has a great judge of character. Alive, not so much. That’s what got him killed. Jessica: She is hard to trust in general. She’s a I can do it all myself girlie. But she learns trust during the novel.

Today you guys get a little backstory for Tyler. She’s one of my favorite side characters. #amquerying #writesky #writingcommunity #WIPSnips

Oh no a zombie! Don’t worry that’s just Alex. He’s too busy dealing with PTSD to tell Jessica he loves her. And she’s too busy adding dots to canvas to notice. I hear the authors going to kidnap him or something to fix that. #LGBT #R #Q #amquerying #writesky #chaospit

Meet our MMC Alex and his FMC Jessica! #amwriting #writesky #amquerying #queerauthor

#AwesomeCharacters Joseph is one of the few humans in this book who works at Black Onyx. They are terminally cheerful, love to wear bright colors and too much make up. They tend to blend in well and everyone really love them. #writingcommunity #writesky

Happy Trans Visability Day! I love you and support you no matter what.

It’s official! I’m now in the #amquerying phase of my novel journey.

Good morning #WritingCommunity How do yall keep motivated? Like im half way through draft 3 of my novel and I can’t find the will to finish. I’ve imposed a deadline for myself of the end of the month but idk. I know if I don’t meant my own goal I’ll be upset and it will fully derail me.

#pretendpanel My work is written to showcase queer culture and love but in the monster romance genre. I want people to say that’s me when they read. I focus hard on sensitivity readers so that my stories are real which makes them strong and worth reading. #amwriting #writingcommunity

#WIPSnip Sharing some insight into my MMCs trans identity and how they knew they were trans today.

Morning #queerwriters I did get 80% of the things done I wanted to get done. But I’m not discouraged. I’m still on track to be done by the end of the month with my final draft before line edits. #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity

I started reading Yellowface today and I’m so mad I didn’t get to it sooner. Bless my bookclub for picking it as our read. I’m 75% done. #amreading

A little snip featuring everyone’s favorite NPC Yuki. She is a merfolk baby who is half anglerfish and half koi. Her dad is trans and her mom is just a bean. #WIPSnips #amwriting #writesky
