For the past few months, I've been unable to come up with any story ideas, so I haven't really been writing.

This morning, I gave myself an hour to sit and play around in a Word Doc.

So excited to have a few ideas FINALLY. I've missed writing stories so much!

Ok, it's been a while, but is it cool if I gush about getting to go to the Long Live The Black Parade tour in NJ? I cried, I lost my voice singing, I ascended.

Yesss!!!

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

Bookshop: Buy books online. Support local bookstores. An online bookstore that financially supports local independent bookstores and gives back to the book community.

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week.

They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions.

Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

Yes! It's a new genre for me as a writer, but I wanted to sub to this Women of the Weird West call because it looks awesome! brigidsgatepress.com/submissions

My story features a fortune-hunting heroine, a secret witch, and a mummy.

My current WIP - I think I would fare just fine! Mae is a witch, sure, but I think we'd actually get along great.

My novel I'm querying - Alas, I don't think I would survive a battle with Dionysus.

Hello, fellow #camprevpit #katdeads !

I'm Caitlin. I write adult horror, mainly cosmic.

I'm currently writing a short weird western while in the query trenches w/my theatre possession novel.

🫖 Tea, always!

Some horror favorites:

🎬The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
📚 Mauve Fly
✒️Rachel Harrison

I'm already enjoying #camprevpit and it only just begun! Looking forward to giving and receiving some feedback and meeting more horror writers! ✨️🔪

The replacement is art in all its forms. Movies, music, and books. Storytelling. The beauty of Nature. And being a part of a community that practices love & kindness. Hope this helps.

Let's 👏🏼go 👏🏼Knicks👏🏼!!!

I need to read this!!!

I've disappeared on here, but I'm back! It's hard to post and write and query amidst *gestures widely* but I want to keep pushing.

Anyhoo, I hope you all have a lovely weekend (especially my fellow writers in the query trenches). 🌞

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

U.S.D.A. Freezes Funding for Maine Amid Battle Over Transgender Athletes The administration concluded last month that Maine had violated federal law by allowing transgender athletes to play on girls’ or women’s teams.

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed.

Funny Story cheered me up back in January. Glad it did the same for you! ✨️

Ahh that's awesome! Excited to read it!

Is pirate horror a thing?

I woke up today with a craving to read a pirate horror novel but can't seem to find anything.

An Agent’s Guide to None of This Was Real Adult Contemporary Romance 82,000 words

The pitch: When reunited with her ex after a fatal accident tore them apart ten years ago, Jasper must decide if she should just let go of teenage lust or let herself fall back in love with the one that got away, who maybe she shouldn't trust so easily.

every summer after, seven summers, normal people, happy place, how to hide in plain sight

Excerpt: “Oh, and you come to my house to just hang out?” he said. “Yeah?” I said. “Where else am I going to go? Ask my mom if I can borrow the car so I can avoid the family overstimulating me?” “I’m your only option?” “No, there’s always your mom,” I said. He rolled his eyes. “I’m busy,” he said. “Doing what?” “I have shit to do for work,” he said. “And the cat sitter keeps calling me about things that are not an emergency. And you show up and you just want to hang out. I don’t have any new trauma to dump on you today.” “So, you want me to leave?” I said. “Please, Jasper, get out of my room before I do something without thinking it through,” he said. “We’ll both get hurt.” “Oh, so you want to f*** me, don’t you?” I said. “I don’t know if I can do this again,” he said. “I gave you everything and you threw me away.”

If you love someone, let them go. Avoid them for ten years until you're invited to the same wedding. Don't ruin everything again. Unless they do it first.
She broke his heart and wants him back. He doesn't trust her, but maybe she shouldn't trust him either.

Moodboard of a YA Dark Academia Supernatural Mystery

THE RAVEN BOYS x S.T.A.G.S

A series of murders at an elite private school in Ireland spark an aspiring journalist, a burgeoning psychic, and a rebel with a cause to investigate, confronting their privileged lives and sceptical beliefs.

A gothic landscape, the sun shines down on a distant ruinous castle in a long, green valley. They lettering reads: This book smells like blood and fire, like mossy rocks and rusted steel. This book smells like wet dog fur and Frankincense. Smell it. This book reeks.

After some time off, hopping back into the pit game, recycling lame pictures and lamer prose.

In Their Shadows returns, rocking that non-linear, gothic upmarket vibe about a half-human princess wading into a cursed and ancient forest to rescue her crappy dad’s corpse. F/H
