A small reminder that even during the darkest times, we're all we have. And in the end, what saves us is that we care.

We 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 care.

Look after each other. ♥️

February 15 #WIPSnips – “never”

As Freud said (apocryphally): Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Does that hold when Jenny’s discussing Shelley’s “Mont Blanc” with Gregory, who first taught her the poem? There is no text without subtext. A snip from my #WIP “Surface Tension.”

I have an idea for a horror-adjacent novel that's kiiinda like Bird Box, Blindness, and A Quiet Place, told from four perspectives and exploring the psychology of characters and societal ramifications following a Significant Event… (1/2)

Monday’s suck. So, I thought I’d try a Monday prompt game. What WIPs or ideas do you not talk about as much? Or random ideas you’ve had that have added to you WIP pile lately? What are you excited to work on?

No rules. Just blab! 😁

BEHOLD! A roundup of all my #questpit pitches! Thanks again to all who liked/reposted/commented--you made this slobbering hack feel a little less incompetent. First up--one for my #WIP Surface Tension, wherein a brilliant young scholar makes the mistake of her life by canoodling with the wrong guy.
WORKHORSE x THE RACHEL INCIDENT

SURFACE TENSION: She came for a degree, not an affair. But as Jenny researches literary heroines who trade freedom for security, she starts living her thesis, all beneath the eye of a professor who prefers the only revisions to her story be his. #U #W #A #questpit

Had quite a few instances of this word, thanks to a nickname my MC earns. This one’s from awfully close to the end, but what can I say, I love a little romance. Even when it’s complicated. Ah, young love. ☺️

For the first time in my writerly life, I'm experiencing writers block. I have a lot of projects I could be working on, but I'm struggling to choose one and put a single word on the page.

How do you overcome writers block? Wrong answers only. 😜
