All Mya wanted was an interview with the owner of a new, local haunted house for her podcast. Instead she got an offer for a dream job, a dead friend, and the personal attention of a serial killer. #RevPit

I’m reading about serial killers to learn about the psychology behind serial murders. This is fascinating and makes me consider changing professions. #wip #thriller #research

#MomsWritersClub Q5: Sometimes we need to distance ourselves from the words to let them (and ourselves) breath before moving forward. What things do you do in that time?

#MomsWritersClub Most definitely. If I feel like I’m hitting a wall every time I sit down to write, then it’s time to move on. I can always come back.

#MomsWritersClub Q: Have you ever let a project go? What let you decide it wasn't right?

Jen Huey @jenhuey.bsky.social · Feb 20

#MomsWritersClub This is a hard one because I feel like I’ve been stuck for a year now. For now, my way of coming back is to just keep trying new story ideas until one of them sticks.

Shay Galloway @thegallowcat.bsky.social · Feb 20

#MomsWritersClub Q3: It might be writer's block on one project, it might be a rut your whole writing journey. How do you come back from it?

Jen Huey @jenhuey.bsky.social · Feb 20

#MomsWritersClub Writing started as my way of escaping. Now it’s just another reality that brings me joy.

Shay Galloway @thegallowcat.bsky.social · Feb 20

#Momswritersclub Q1: We all have our "Why" of putting to pen to paper that always keeps us coming back. What's yours?

When horror enthusiast Mya receives an invite to the new, local haunted camp out, there's no way she'll turn it down. Five hours into the night she learns her research on a serial killer made her the next target. Getting through the night wasn't meant to be life or death. #questpit #a #t #w

Mya, a horror podcaster, can’t believe she landed an interview w/ the CEO of the nation’s top haunted attraction company. When a haunted scavenger hunt brings her face to face with a serial killer, the interview won’t matter if she can’t find a way to escape. #questpit #a #wip #T

#questpit question of the day

On a snowy day Mya grabs a blanket and curls up in her favorite chair to read.

Question 2!
What does your character do on a snowy day?

Never have I ever found myself being chased through a haunted campout by a psychopathic killer. Talk about a scavenger hunt gone wrong. #WritingCommunity #writesky #hauntedhousethriller #wip #writingprompt

Mya’s favorite season is fall. Then again, she’s a top 10 horror podcaster in the country so it’s fitting. #writingcommunity #amwriting #authorsky #MCMon #writesky
