This mood board has a wood panel background. A number of signs hang from the wall. One says Illness in typed print. Second says small town. Third is a picture of a farm. Fourth is a girl and wolf lying together. Underneath it says "big secrets". On the ground is a TV with a grainy picture of a wolf in it.

When isolated wolf shifter Milo runs away to discover the joys of the human world with his new friend Perrie who shares his rare genetic condition, his banishment starts a chain of events, which includes overthrowing his tyrannical community leaders.
#QueerPit #YA #P #MR

This mood board has gray overtones. In the middle it reads: I'm not a wolf anymore...I'm not human. What am I?
The pictures are: top left - a girl laying next to a wolf. Top middle - an iris slit like an animal. Top right - a man holding his head covered in blood. Middle behind the text - wolf prints. Bottom left - a humanish hand clawing a wooden floor. Bottom middle - a man and woman gently bumping elbows. Bottom right - a wolf howling in the woods.

Brooke isn't just searching for her missing secret girlfriend, Leah. She's searching for the pastor's daughter in a cult-like church that seems determined to deny her very existence. She's fighting for her love. And her sanity.

When Milo is banished from his shifter community for existing with a chronic illness, his grief sets off a chain reaction that will reshape his town. The friendships he forges will help him find out not just how to be a wolf, but what it means to be human.

This is a movie poster for The Moon Bleeds Silver. At the top, accolades mention chronic illness rep, small town, big secrets, and found family. At the bottom is the pitch: When isolated wolf shifter Milo runs away to discover the joys of the human world with his new friend Perrie, who shares his rare genetic condition, his banishment starts a chain of events, which includes overthrowing his tyrannical community leaders. In the middle is a girl under a full moon with a wolf shadow underneath it.

Chronic illness writers - do you ever just randomly experience what your characters go through? Because I'm writing about one of my MCs who just subluxed her shoulder and I swear my right arm is so weak right now 😂 crazy!

This mood board is a wood panel background with camera equipment on the ground. A TV sits on the floor with the static image of a wolf. A sign hanging from the ceiling says "small town", then "big secrets" underneath. There's three picture frames: the first holds the image of the word "illness", the second shows a farm countryside, and the third is a woman laying next to a wolf.

THE SUNBEARER TRIALS X HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA

Platonic love might be the strongest of all. When Milo and Perrie's worlds collide, chronic illness bonds them together closer than blood. Will Milo's secrets swallow Perrie whole or can they remain friends?
#questpit #Q #YA #PR

This is a two-toned mood board, black and gold. On the black side is a tarot card of the moon with the silhouette of a boy sitting inside. On the gold side is a tarot card of the sun with the silhouette of a girl sitting inside. Text on the black side reads: She's the sun in my life. Text on the gold side reads: he's eclipsing everything I've ever known.

THE SUNBEARER TRIALS X TWILIGHT

🐺Wolf shifters navigating chronic illness and trying to find a place to belong in a world that doesn't want them.

#PosterPit #PosterPitQ #YA #F

This movie poster has a human standing in a field at dusk. A full moon hangs in the sky. A wolf shadow is barely visible in the background. The title is: The Moon Bleeds Silver. It has chronic illness rep, small town big secrets and found family. The elevator pitch is at the bottom: when isolated wolf shifter Milo runs away to discover the joys of the human world with his new friend Perrie who shares his rare genetic condition, his banishment starts a chain of events, which includes overwhelming his tyrannical community leaders.

16 year old shifter Milo is about to find out there's more than one kind of family when he runs into Perrie, a sarcastic human who helps him in more ways than one, including toppling a tyrannical wolf regime.
#PopUpPit #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA

Words read: when you're chronically ill, you don't need a pack to have family. The background is a full moon. The pictures include: two people holding hands at twilight, a wolf putting their snout into a person's hand, and a man and woman lightly bumping elbows.

Chronically ill Milo must navigate life between his shifter community that doesn't want him and the new human world that offers a new family in the form of Perrie who shares his rare genetic condition. When he's banished, it's the tip of the iceberg

I had a great idea for a new story about a chronically ill writer, which is fitting as my chronically ill self can't find the energy to write anything right now 😮‍💨
