There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now

So i decided to rewatch the twilight movies for the first time in years and oh man.....🤣 the memories but also why are these movies so dramatic 🤣🤣

Horror and Fantasy. I wrote alot of fantasy as a kid but my writing has shifted so drastically i dont even know where to begin if i were to return to it. On the other hand, horror has always intrigued me as a genre in movies but as a written text its so far out my comfort zone but i still wanna try

It it deserves EVERY.SINGLE.ONE!!!!!!

"Hi this is Della Jackson and you're watching Della by Design on Y2K Channel!" A young girl's life changes forever when she's cast in a hot new TV show in 2004. Growing up is hard, but growing up on TV is even harder. #BluePit📖 #W #YA #OV #POC

BAIT: An Upmarket Romance. Now Querying...🎞🎬 🎥 Animation and The Film Industy 🎥 Second Chance/Friends to Lovers 🎥 Slow Burn 🎥Fame & Relationships 🎥 Dreams & Ambition 🎥 Forgiveness and Family 🎥 Legacy & Idenity #BluePit📖 #Q #A #R #OV #POC

Three UCLA students contend for an Academy Award to answer a theory: Is it based on merit or a formula boiled down to a science? Instead, they find themselves confronting their own personal histories with the film industry, and what it means to forge your own legacy. #BluePit📖 #Q #A #R #OV #POC

I'm a huge football fan so ironically i've had football to distract me while i query 🤣 though i have also used the time to read more which has helped me shift focus to other projects. Querying is hard, pitching is hard but finding moments of peace with a book has helped so much. #BluePitHype

To put it simply, family, friends and the art of filmmaking. Brandi, Dean and Adrian come from different ways of life but are united by those three things. There are times they question it but the bonds they've created hold them together like their favorite movie on a quiet summer day. #BluePitHype

Brandi's greatest fear is not living up to the legacy of her great-grandfather. She doesnt want to be forgotten in history like he was and doesnt want him forgotten either. Adrian and Dean are afraid of living in the shadow of their famous family. #BluePitHype

Brandi, Adrian and Dean are proud if the thesis film they created in JUST ONE SUMMER. It's the first time they feel like they've made their mark on the world. Then to be recognized by a prestigious film festival has got to be quite the ego boost for the three of them. #BluePitHype

I don't have any art of my characters but i would love to take the opportunity for any writers to recommend me artists that you've worked with! I would love to comission but have no idea where to start! BUT I'll also share my inspiration for BAIT and the moodboard for something new 👀 #BluePitHype

Hi I'm Kasandra! I mainly write romance or romance adjacent things, but i'm always exploring and trying other genres that intrest me! I'm currently querying my novel BAIT and working on my next projects as well. Met alot of amazing people at last #BluePit can't wait to meet more! #BluePitHype

I WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT SINNERS! A masterpiece of a film and he NAILED IT. Well deserved.

No family has read it and only my friends in my critique circle has read drafts of yesterday. No one has seen it in its current state 👀

🏈🦅 GO BIRDSSSSSSSSSSS!

TWO.....NEW.......GAMES!?!?!?!

I cannot put into words how much Cyberpunk 2077 means to me. I've played since the beginning in 2020 and its been the delight of my life to see this game grow into what it is today. Hats off to the devs, writers, VA's and everyone in between. I cannot wait to see what else is in store in Night City.

OH MY GODDDDDDD. PLEASE BE A NEW GAME. PLEASEEEE BE A NEW GAMEEEEE!

Slow burn for sure. I love the intimate moments before intimacy. Show me the small moments, the long looks, the slight touches, the almost kisses. Make em work for it.

Starting a new story after finishing my novel. It felt my creative well had been tapped dry. I started questioning my ideas and everything i put to paper. Although i have started something new now i want to be able to take my time with it and develop it to the fullest.

I slow burn THE HELL out of my characters. They are people outside the relationship and they just happen to find themselves in love. I want to show the build up of their relationship because it makes the payoff more satisfying 😃

I've gotten more comfortable writing smut in my stories but only because i tailor it to what i prefer as a reader. I also know what i can and can't write well when it comes to smut too 😅

At first, I didn't set out to write much this month but i managed to outline and draft 11k words towards the end of this month. I'm pretty proud of that and i'm proud of the story that's taking shape.

South of Midnight is hands down the best game I played this year amd deserves all the love to its artists, writers, VA's, game devs etc. Probably one of the reasons I've looked for and read so much southern gothic/folklore novels since its release. *chefs kiss*

I haven't really participated in any November writing challenges cause I needed a break from writing. A creative reset and mental rest......and of course i got an idea for my draft last night and had to write that down 🤣

A Love Song for Ricki Wilde's Sandwich 🤣

I wanted to have a draft/outline finsihed for my next story. Didn't quite get there but i did write other ideas that inspired me and i'm pretty excited about that 😁

"When can I read it?" 🤣

The one piece of advice I saw the most about what to do when querying is write something else and i can see why. It feels good going back to an idea and writing the first draft. Doesnt have to be perfect, just words to page.

AS IT SHOULD! That entire scene and song changed my brain chemistry forever and it should be recognized for what it is. A MASTERPIECE

The entire process of foley in film and TV. I loved it before and love it even more now! It is a fascinating rabbit hole to find yourself in. Snow sounds using cornstarch? Birds flapping using a feather duster? Utterly fascinating.

Definitely and defiantly killed me because both are correct and spellcheck/grammar NEVER CAUGHT IT 🤣 Using the read aloud feature saved my life cause i'd listen to a sentence and just be so confused.

While querying BAIT, I've currently been doing research and drafting for a story set in early 2000's/Y2K era. Found this collage on Pintrest and its been the main image on my moodboard. Also doing research on a story inspired by iconic Jazz music of the past 👀 #DVParty Day 6!

#DVParty Day 5! The main theme of my story is the song Comfortable by H.E.R. I used it as the basis for the main relationship in the story, but even then strip away the lyrics and just leave the music its a great steady song that covers the feel of what i wanted my story to be.

Adrian: Hey you guys wanna help me with my thesis film this summer? Dean and Brandi: Sure Three months later..... #DVParty

Opening Lines of BAIT! 🎥 Brandi Butler took the short but dreadful walk to her advisor’s office. She had gotten an email from him nearly a month ago. Brandi hoped it was just a harmless email. Maybe she forgot something when she submitted her thesis proposal. It wouldn’t be the first time. #DVParty

Meet the main cast of BAIT! Below are their character cards with some cool fun facts about each one! And to have a bit of fun for day two of #DVParty. So if you ask a character a question...they may answer 👀

Inspired by classic animated films and the people who make them, here's my moodboard for my adult romance, BAIT. Excited to be participating in #DVParty !!!!!

I've listened to the audiobook of Bloodmarked by Tracey Deon at least 6 times now 👀 the entire Legendborn series is amazing but Bloodmarked is my favorite.

I started brainstorming other ideas while querying. Major goal is to have half a draft done or a full summary/outline complete.

🦅🏈

Let's not do that again please....I'M BEGGING YOU 🤣🤣
