When I started writing ALIENS HAVE KIDNAPPED CHRISTMAS back in 2018 I had an image of what Elfin would look like but it only existed in my head. So I finally decided to have him created so I can actually look at him everyday. #amwriting #amquerying #writingcommunity #LetsElfinGo
Anyone else go to the bookstore and picture where your book will be one day? Since it’s the holidays, ALIENS HAVE KIDNAPPED CHRISTMAS would definitely be on this holiday stand, or right here, keeping up with the Joneses! #amwri̇ti̇ng #amquerying #writingcommunity

Anyone else say a little prayer before sending a query they really really want to go through? #amwriting #amquerying #WritingCommmunity

A group of tweens stumble upon an ancient gem that grants them the power to turn into classic film monsters. They now must protect the gem from an ancient sorcerer determined to reclaim it and take over the world. Dracula and friends become superheroes! 🧛 #TheMonsterSquad #WIPPIT #MG #K #OWN #FBW

Xmas Eve. Santa kidnapped. N Pole under alien occupation. All elves held hostage except timid, black nerd elf Elfin. He has less than 24 hours to free the elves & save Santa/Xmas before the aliens can use Santa’s magic and tech to take over the Earth. #WhoBetrayedSanta #WIPPIT #MG #K #OWN #FBW🎄🎅🏿👽

For me it would be learning what I’m missing that would bring me across the finish line to a deal. It’s like a recipe. I feel I have all the right ingredients but maybe im not mixing or baking the right way. I haven’t really had any training I tend to mirror what I see out there. #amwriting

ALIENS HAVE KIDNAPPED CHRISTMAS
Mrs. Claus shows Elfin a locket that contains a snowflake Santa captured for her when they fist met. But later on Elfin discovers that it has some magical properties of its own. Naturally he is curious from a scientific perspective!

I think for me its just getting that story idea out of my head and starting to write it down. Seeing how it grows over time. Or when I have those moments when the perfect idea for a piece of the story comes into my head and even better when I can connect 2 different stories together in some way!
Day 4! What is your favorite part of the writing process? Drafting? Revising? Creating playlists or gathering inspo pics?
There are only 2 days left to get your applications in!

THE MONSTER SQUAD
The Fearsome Fivesome group of boys. Those friends that you do everything with and have your back. Think of the Stranger Things kids and what they have been like growing up and that’s how I see this group.

ALIENS HAVE KIDNAPPED CHRISTMAS
I’d say the Elfin/Santa dynamic. While Elfins father is in the story, there is conflict there. With Santa he can be more open. Santa is like that teacher you might go to when you don’t feel comfortable going to your parents. Something I’ll explore more in the future!

Not currently reading anything but looking for a good #MG thriller/horror to get inspiration for a thriller I want to write while binging Stranger Things preparing for the final season. I don’t read a lot because I worry about dipping into others ideas while I’m working on my own.
Day 3! What are you reading? Are you in the midst of an epic fantasy? A dark, twisty thriller? Did you just finish something that kept you up until the wee hours of the night? Tell us everything!!

ALIENS HAVE KIDNAPPED CHRISTMAS
I’m Elvin and my MC is Elfin. He’s a black, nerdy, elf (think Steve Urkel) working in Santa’s lab after he washed out of ELVES training and broke his family’s legacy. He’s shy and doubts himself until the moment comes when he has to stand up and save his friends. #MG

THE MONSTER SQUAD
1 of the few movies I saw at the theater as a kid. After seeing a 30th anniversary screening I knew I wanted to remake this into a superhero story. I picked PA because it’s where I went to college and named the town Sunnywood as a play on the town from Buffy the Vampire Slayer!

From horror to fantasy to contemporary, setting is important, and can often become its own character. What inspired the setting for your story? #FiFRevPit #writersky #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

For the longest time my holiday spirit wasn’t the best. And then I had my son and it gave me a new reason to celebrate. I’m sure I was probably watching Die Hard when this started (not a Christmas movie 😆) and all my stories involve aliens so why not mash together!
