It's #hotwetpitstop day!

Drag Me Under is going well, but a little slower than I expected. We'll see how much I end up getting done by the end of the summer!

Thank you for all the support, it really means a lot as a baby author!

A painting of a short-haired androgynous person playing a mandolin. They are surrounded by people, who are listening to the music. Over top of the painting is a graphic that reads Hot Wet Pit Stop Jam Event. A painting of a cliff overlooking an ocean with a grey sky above. The title reads #HOTWETPITSTOP, underneath the text reads- Words written: 15,213 Projected word count for project: ~40k Playlists created: 3 Beta readers acquired: 3 Amount of breakdowns: let’s round down to 10

Here’s some of the “hot” I’ve gotten to in the WIP so far! Much more and much worse (/pos) to come…

#hotwetqueersummer #hotwetqa
The background image shows a black and white image of the dark sea. The title reads "#HOTWETQA". The exerpt underneath reads "Ezra didn’t think it would ever be close enough. He wanted to live inside August, he never wanted to be apart from him. The moment he was away from him, he missed him. He wanted to melt their skin together until they couldn’t tell who was who. He wanted August to fuck him, he wanted him to be the first person inside him. He hoped he would be the only one ever inside him. “Please,” Ezra moaned. “Please, what?” August breathed the words into the curve of his jaw. “More, please more,” Ezra whined. August sucked a hickey where his lips were pressed and Ezra squirmed underneath him. “I can give you more,” he said."

It’s #hotwetpitch day! I’m so excited to share more about my project for #hotwetqueersummer

Ezra and August have taken up so much real estate in my brain, I hope y’all will love them as much as I do.

Thank you so much @monstermanorbooks for hosting this and for all your support!
Image of a red moon above the dark sea. Title reads “Drag Me Under #hotwetpitch”. Under that the text reads, “Ezra’s whole world changes when his cheating boyfriend washes up dead on the beach. Not that he cares. Everyone thinks a shark did it, but Ezra isn’t so sure. He begins spending more time with August, a boy he used to love who he thought wanted nothing to do with him anymore. Something has changed in August, and Ezra can feel himself being dragged into his orbit. Drag Me Under is queer horror romance with a hefty dose of erotica”. Background of a red moon above a dark sea. Title reads “Drag Me Under as Tropes”. In the center of the image is a painting of a person jumping out of the waves to try to catch a flying fish. The trope map around it reads “trans masc mc x cis male LI, sirens, seaside horror, omg they were roommates, ambiguous ending, cannibalism as a metaphor for devotion, this is a terrible idea (they’re going to do it anyway), angst and yearning”. Background of a red moon above a dark sea. Title reads “Drag Me Under as Unhinged AO3 tags”. Underneath are various AO3 tags from the account @ao3struggles.bsky.social reading, “I’ll have you know my characters plot armor works in reverse and actively ruins their lives”, “fellas is it gay to transform and then fuck your roommate”, “‘cannibalism as a metaphor for love’ what if im just really hungry. then what”, “they’re not exes they’re something worse”, “You have no idea how much I love these motherfuckers and want to traumatize them even further”, “Consensual But It Shouldn’t Be”, and “a lot going on and none of it is healthy”. Background of a red moon above a dark sea. Title reads “Drag Me Under as songs from my writing playlist”. Underneath the song titles read “Crush by Ethel Cain, The Offering by Sleep Token, It Will Come Back by Hozier, Pearl Diver by Mitski, DNA Guarantee by Kodi Rhianne, Will You Love Me When I’m Dead by Amira Elfeky, In My Room by Julia Wolf, and Outside by breakk.away”.
