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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 👀

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
