Cannot WAIT to crack this open. I watched the movie and absolutely loved it. I’m eager to see the differences #booksky

#DVParty #A #H #DIS #TV #LGBTQ

Do I pitch my book as LGBTQ when the mc's sexuality is mentioned twice in the book, and there's no romance at all? I'm getting so confused and have received conflicting info about this. For self pub I was told I absolutely had to, otherwise it would get flagged and taken down. #writing

"There's something terrible about horrors in the middle of the day." #DVParty #A #H #LGBT #TV #ND #DIS

I took a very real fear that I have, personified it, and let my characters overcome the physical aspect of that fear. It was cathartic. #PretendPanel #writing

Tabitha was raised by a prepper family. Now in her thirties, she forgoes that lifestyle, but keeps her knowledge from her childhood. When she's confronted with the death and dismemberment of the creatures that are killing everyone, she pretends they're deer in order to cope. #DvParty

#DvParty The Rattle of Bones! The monster isn't exactly right though, since they can shapeshift. It's a cosmic horror that stresses the importance of found family. Give an angry lesbian a gun and a sweet boy to protect, and she'll kill anyone in her path to save him.

I somehow injured my left arm refilling my cup from the tap. I injured my right arm reaching down to grab something. I'll be fine in a couple of days, buuuuuut I've got plans on Friday and I need to be able to lift my arms over my head, which I can't do right now

#WritingPrompt Write a sentence using the following word: aches For example: It seemed to Bob that he woke with more aches then when he went to bed. The Epstein Files must be released.

Hmm, I actually had this one. Noah is back at his house after meeting the weirdo fan from before the apocalypse hit. #WipSnips #writing

Songs that inspired The Rattle of Bones(book I'm querying) Lay This Body Down by Sam Lee I Am by Jamie Bower Heron Blue by Sun Kil Moon Free fall by Paris Paloma I'm Your Man by Mitski The World Ender by Lord Huron Maybe Sprout Wings by The Mountain Goats #writing #music #playlists

ROT AND RUIN X THE THING Tabitha Richards must find her brother with the help of Miguel Sanchez. Armed only with a walkie talkie, they have to fight their way through creatures that can mimic anyone they love. Can Tabitha trust her own mind as they navigate the apocalypse? #preDV

Spent the weekend making bookmarks, have them for sale now. Trying to get out of Texas. I have another state in mind. Not the best one, but it's not.... here.

I made a book to bookmark your book

Made bookmarks. They open up down the center #art

Rose Leslie as Tabitha, Conor Husting as Miguel. I don't think they'd make Rose gain a bunch of weight, though. Tabitha is pretty chunky at the beginning. #TBBChat #writing

Ah, the budding one-sided love story that ends in tragedy. #wipsnips #writing

Did not make earrings like I planned. Made bookmarks instead. They came out pretty good! completely spontaneous. Unfortunately my back is killing me because there was cutting and gluing involved.

Might try to make some resin dice stuff tomorrow, if I can find my mask... If not, I think making some earrings might be fun. I've already got two pairs made. I may try that tonight, actually. Give writing a break

MOTHMAN MOTHMAN I love Mothman so much I made it my icon. Been working on a Mothman romance fic off and on for a couple of years now. #Queerwriterschat

No "mire," but I have "corner," which is a synonym(I looked it up) New WIP, title determined yet withheld. Have I posted this bit already? #WipSnips #writing

I think with this new book(title determined, but not announced) I'm going to be doing more hands on research. There's going to be some fucky recipes I'm going to try out... #writing

What to work on… my: Book that’s a commentary about parasocial relationships Book that’s just for funsies about a mid thirties woman who switched from a retail worker to a ghost hunter A secret third thing I’ll have to come up with I do not do idle well. #writing

I have "absorb!" I've been neglecting this challenge because apparently publishers don't want more than 20% on a manuscript shown online before publication or something, but I've posted this before. #Writing #WipSnips

I'm still querying, and I keep seeing "genre bending" as "gender bending" and getting really excited. Alas. #writing #queerwriters

#Writing #querying Me: I shouldn't edit this manuscript again... The part of me that hates myself:

Final editing done to The Rattle of Bones. Haven't gotten a full manuscript request yet, but you fucking bet I'm ready #writing #Querying

#Politics #Resist #Writing #Booksky #SmallPress #IndieAuthors Are you pissed about ABC caving to the Trump Regime by putting Jimmy Kimmel Live on indefinite hiatus? Tired of watching media companies comply in advance? NOW is the time to support the media that isn't bowing and is producing works 1/7

Them, whomst I am querying: Write a one sentence synopsis about your book. Me at 4 am on cup number three of coffee: The apocalypse tries to knock a lesbian down, but she isn't having it #writing #QueerWriters

:3 The Rattle of Bones #writing #WipSnips

I feel like my book that criticizes the govt and how it mishandles things is way too topical. #writing

List of books I want to eventually write: Summer camp horror(gay) Gothic fantasy horror(gay) Murder mystery horror(gay) Another post-apoc horror(gay) #queerwriters #writing

Fuck it I'm going to be whimsical as hell from now on #writingcommunity #writers #writerlife #whimsy

Got my first rejection :) at least I did it!! #writing

So far, #querying isn't that bad. However, I have six new documents about my book saved because each agent wants something completely different uploaded. 3 chapters, ten pages, five pages, twenty pages, 2 chapters, thirty pages... #writing

Me for the last month: Yeah I'll probably query to like a hundred or two agents Me today: So... there's only like fifty American agents that are looking for both horror and lgbtq books on QueryTracker...

Sooooo my beta reader seems to be having fun! #writing

Compiling a list of agents to query. Too many people in the Query Tracker comments are like “I was rejected but I got a movie deal so nyehhh” #writing

Please be careful, y'all #writingcommunity #writers writerbeware.blog/2025/08/01/r...

Luna is baffled that there's some genuinely nice men out there. #WipSnips #writing

Hey #writingcommunity I wanted to give y'all are warning about people soliciting beta reader services. Some of them are bots just responding to posts that merely mention beta readers in the post.. If you check their replies if solicited, you can easily pick them out. Please be careful, and vet them.

Getting on call with my beta reader(aka my bestest buddy) and hearing him wheeze at the lines and passages in my book is honestly so rewarding #writing

Luna's having some surprising thoughts about a new man. From High Strangeness. #WipSnips #writingcommunity #writing

None of the "outsides" were particularly interesting, so I did "tonight." #WipSnips #writingcommunity

Me a few days ago #writingcommunity #writing

Also, "damn, girl, you wrote this? (concerned for my mental wellbeing)". #Writing

Over the post book blues. Onto the next 😀 #writing

PLEASE HELP! We have almost no food for the next two weeks and money's really strapped right now. Anything helps. ko-fi.com/joharraharpe...

Went outside to write, sat down at the table. Bam, sun. I am allergic to the sun. Back inside with me.
