After a few months, the off season of film is finally over!
I start dailying tomorrow, and honestly it couldn't have come at a better time. I was going a little nuts.

Posts will be sporadic for a while 💕

THE STRINGS OF WILLIS MANOR is a sapphic gothic suspense with speculative elements.

Thistle Willis - a young woman with a chronic illness - tries to learn the secrets of her family before Mama's control over the manor gets her killed.

FROM THE SEA FRET is a cosmic/body/psychological horror from a queer perspective.

Callum Point is a queer transman who moves to the dead-end fishing town of Perne to start a new life. Instead, he finds an ever-present fog that whispers to him.

As far as actual pen to paper writing goes, I've got a wip in dire need of attention.
Otherwise, I'm in the querying trenches with 'From the Sea Fret', and I'm organizing beta readers for my adult sapphic gothic novel

Whoa wow aren't these vibes so cool and awesome?
Wouldn't you want to read a 51k sapphic gothic suspense with some body horror? Oooooo

If you ARE interested, then maybe you should keep an eye out tomorrow 👀

The main character - Thistle Willis - is established quite early on to hate Mama, and Mama hating her.
Wonder how that turns out 😬

Ahaha wouldn't it be so sexy and funny and cool if I was finally able to ask people to beta read for a story I've been working on for 3 years..?

Transparency post regarding publishing:

Still in the query trenches! I'm not surprised, nor am I disappointed. This is more or less exactly what I expected.
The vast amount of feedback I've received is "This is good, but right now is not a good time to market your book."
Which is... surprising?

Trying to promote/talk about a book currently being queried is so hard 😭 I want to tell the little people in my phone about my favourite parts but I CAN'T

Now that I'm getting to the editing phase of my wip, I'm way more comfortable sharing some snippets.
I've been working on this story (in some capacity) for about 3 years, so I'm excited to share it.

I've got this magical dieselpunk (recently reoutlined) duology that's been kicking around for a while.
Corrupt government, surveillance capitalism, and religion interfering in politics. It's a behemoth of a story and I'm waiting until I'm up to the challenge.

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! 😁

I'm really hoping that I can finish writing this draft of "The Strings of Willis Mano"! I'm very close, and I feel like I can make that happen.

If I do that, then the rest of the month is gonna be dedicated to editing!!

I think today's a good day to support indie authors who don't use AI.

And also to support editors, cover designers, artists, and book coaches who don't use AI and aren't running grift classes.

Small businesses that are struggling and get paid poverty wages.

Big ol' line share today! I actually use 'perfect' a fair bit in my wip, so I was spoiled for choice.
I love writing the main character, Thistle Willis, because she's so analytical and not afraid to argue. Writing her dialogue is really fun 💕

Did I get wrapped up in writing and almost forget to promote this month's newsletter?

Maybe.

This month I talk about writing goals, and my current wip "The Strings of Willis Manor"!

Be here next week. While I don't always participate, it's really helpful to have a community of people that I know will be there to support myself and others.
