Opening scene in HAUNTED by Venetia Grand. A dark, rain-soaked scene showing a young woman tenderly cleaning the bloodied face of a bruised young man in a leather jacket. Their faces are close, her hand holding a cotton swab to his cut lip. Rain streaks the frame.

HAUNTED Epigraph:

His lip was bloodied, his forehead cut, the right side of his face bruised. He was soaked…

He stopped her ministrations. “If a man cannot vouchsafe something to his honor, what’s his integrity? What’s his word worth?”

I hope your #WSPit was fun & successful! (Also, I recommend using the #WeeknightWriters tag in your posts so everyone can see them & chat with you too!)

Hi there! I'm Sherrie and I've been working on #WSPit most of the week instead of writing. When I do write, it is a sci-fantasy that incorporates Chinese mythology.

#WIPSnips

Thanks everyone for the #WSPit love yesterday and thanks to @rosie-j-potter.bsky.social for hosting! It’s made me very excited to dive back in to editing!

I’ve been in this meeting IRL. I’d go early to get the Metatron’s chair first. 😅

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Writers #AmWriting

Hey, #WritingCommunity. I appreciate your support on #WSPit. I planned to get more involved in it, but I got a little overwhelmed. You've done wonderful things and you’re creative and great! Thank you especially @wipsnips.bsky.social for hosting.

I found the #WSPit event quite fun as well! Ovewhelming indeed, especially because I had had a very full day, but I still managed to give it some time in the evening, and the short pitch exercise taught me a few things that will be useful later on as well. :)

Had such a great time during #WSPit yesterday! Thanks for all the support for my new WIP and for TCT 💞💞

Really enjoyed connecting with writer friends and making new ones! So many awesome stories out there 📚✨

That's a wrap on an amazing second #WSPit. I wish I could have read every single post, but there were so many!

Thank you all so much for being part of this wonderful community.

I hope you made some new connections and found some things to add to your TBRs. I know I did!

💜💜💜

The #WSPit feeds will start emptying over the next week, but make sure to check out the hashtag and feeds today for some of the pitches that were posted in later timezones during the event.

Don't forget #NaNoMyWay starts 3/1 on my page

Deciding what WIPs to add to my website & visualizing before writing sprints

I should have posted this yesterday for #WSPit but I got too excited with my pitch deck! But anyway, here are some of my favourite lines from my manuscript.

#ownvoices #querying

Then came the day’s end. For all her time aboard the Trilo, Yana had never gotten used to calling them shifts, or cycles—days felt just right, when her drifting eyes stopped gazing over a cargo manifest covered in highlights, and her alarm went off with the gentle crashing of waves of a sea she’d never seen, and she sighed, and stretched, and cradled her fifth tea cup of the day all the way to her quarters.

Loved #WSPit! Thank you for running it. It was my first event of the kind, and it was a little overwhelming but a lot of fun, and it was great to see everyone's cool projects!

A cozy #WIPSnips to celebrate:

3 *highlight* snips today.

Thank you all who supported my #WSPit pitches yesterday. 💜

Lakeisha Brown was headed to her friend Kiki’s party w/one thought, she wasn’t fucking anyone tonight.

Her plan was working until she came across Bailey Spencer, a beautiful woman who made her question the answers she thought she knew.

Displays a water-color style book cover on a 3d model of a book against a solid green background. The cover art depicts a single large tree amongst grass and a small treant figure above the title who is resting on a hill.

A wild goose chase for knowledge

Beyond the boundaries of home

Into distant lands unknown

To rediscover oneself

To redefine one’s future

Under the guise of good intentions

And make monsters of Men and Gods

Well I interrupted my hiatus today! Accidentally stumbled on #WSPit, jumped in late and what a fun event. Thanks for all the likes and shares!
I discovered lots of exciting new writers and stories today too! 😊

The Pot-Stirrer is a contemporary fantasy about trauma and healing, found family, and the quiet revolution of care—where magic simmers in shared meals, and hope is passed hand to hand.
