Reading a queer haunted house horror book while alone at night — When these scraping sounds start, low at first, then getting louder…. where—is—that—noise—coming—from? Oh…it’s a cooking video accidentally playing on my phone. My fn pulse. For a horror writer, I scare easily.

Oooh I just had a zoom critique meeting w an editor after a conference— 👻Make that 5 big 5 editor requests now👻 She can’t wait to see my ms in her inbox!

I love when women become urban legends. Warms my heart.

Ooh I’m so gripped by this! Can’t wait to read this someday 😍

Bent neck lady vibes!!! Good for her 👏

The MC’s cousin is a prominent lesbian character, along w her GF. Amaya & Gabrielle. 💜💜 (The mc, Simone is pan and her love interest is bi.) Happy lesbian visibility day ! #awesomecharacters

Thanks for the amazing zoom meeting & talking through plotty stuff and revisions!! Loved seeing your face again & hearing more about your WIP too! @mshipstory.bsky.social

Simone is haunted & hexed~and this is a scene where she realizes she's putting her cursed love in danger. ~Not that this keeps her away from Jadriel~ #CRPCabinRaids #CampRevPit #CRPNightcrawlers "I want to know all the things you're scared to say...."

I keep offering to critique queries rather than finish the rewrite of my own. Perhaps today is the day?! Saturday morning, let's go.

Casting my characters— 1 Nina 👻 The East River Wraith 2 MC Simone is haunted & hexed & can’t control her abilities: she’s plus sized, but creepy Lottie as stand in 3 Jadriel: the bi boy next door & cursed love interest 4 Cousin Amaya: is just starting to come into her gift of truth #crpnightcrawlers

Simone: “I know better, but…” & “I can keep him safe—from me” She’s cursed to kill him, but only *if* she kisses him again. & Oh, she can keep her vengeful cousin’s spirit from going malevolent. Again. #CampRevPit #CharacterFlaw #CRPNightcrawlers

Ooh I’d go with TV show for my book. So by season 2 I can include alllll the cut darlings 🤣 #camprevpit #crpnightcrawlers 👻 It’s #CRPCabinRaids !!! Hey #crpDirewolves hey.

“We confess our sins with smiles” is such a great line!

"I never claimed to be innocent." "Me neither, kid." Nina says with a wicked grin like she's amused by my admission. We confess our sins with smiles.... A snippet of a conversation between Simone & Cousin Nina (also known as The East River Wraith) #CRPNightcrawlers #camprevpit #dialoguedrop

Um. Yes. You can never have too much feminine rage <3

Some may think the vengeful ghost is the monster, but it’s this society (and violent boy who killed her) who created The Wraith. #CRPNightcrawlers

👀👀👀👀 I'm sat

One should never summon the dead They can always find you Follow you Attach themselves to you *I know better but I have to ensure Nina isn’t stuck here haunted by a watery grave ~I call upon her & only her~ So I don't unintentionally bring back something else #CampRevPit #CRPNightcrawlers #OneLineMC

Nina has returned as a vengeful ghost, The East River Wraith, in her defense she only drowns those who deserve it. AND yeah she’s overprotective of her younger cousin Simone & is threatening to end her boy’s life—but she just wants to keep Simone safe. #CampRevPit #VillainVoices #crpnightcrawlers

Simone has many fears, it’s hard to exist in this dangerous world, also she’s damned to be the death of the boy she loves & she summoned her murdered cousin & now she’s a vengeful ghost called The East River Wraith—but she’s afraid she brought back more than her cousin. #camprevpit #crpnightcrawlers

My MC Simone is messy (in more ways than one) & has night terrors & tends to wake up screaming. Cousin Amaya brings her GF over & they kiss while doing art. So they’re cool w me But cousin Nina, who is a ghost, floods the floors (and worse when she’s angry.) So, that’s a big nope on being roomies.

My Horror Girls are up for consideration under Spookiest Poster! *But OMGasp there are so many truly spooky posters in the bunch. And so so many good posters in every category! wow. #posterpit #posterpitawards #CRPNightcrawlers take.supersurvey.com/Q0HWAZ6CN

I've loved horror since I was too young for it & was the kid telling creepy stories at sleepovers. My ms was more fabulist / speculative w grief & ghosts & tarot. I've leaned in to the vengeful ghost story, w lite body horror. I'm a fan of social commentary in horror & the dread. #CRPNightcrawlers

Horror Romance This curse doesn’t keep Simone from wanting to put her hands on Jadriel Good and cruel gods ALL she wants is to touch him, even if it burns her from the inside out But if she lets him kiss her, it'll kill him. *Unless her cousin’s vengeful spirit ends him first #cupit #YA #H #R

Haunted or hacked? 👻🎶 I’m writing a ghost story so make of this what you will Random songs started playing on my computer today. Two times. Different songs. I didn’t have the app up. 1st song: Fast Car by Tracy Chapman 2nd song: Vasoline by Stone Temple Pilots What’s this ghost trying to tell me?

I *think* I’m going to do a new agents guide for my revised ms (it’s really horror leaning) for #questpit Looking forward to seeing everyone’s pitches & trading support !

An agent I am very excited about, who requested my full & said she'd wait for me to finish my rewrite--reached back out to me to say she's still very interested in my manuscript & was checking in. EeeEE. Working as fast as I can. *Editing vibes only*
