In writing dark romance, the phrase "meet-cute" is not cutting it. In my notes, I have "Strangers Meet and Draw Blood" and I don't know if that's a brilliant beat note from someone else or my own concoction, but it's good enough that I'm actually willing to take credit.

My notes for the WIP suggest that there's a chapter 2 pre-meet-cute meet-cute, but fortunately, I lost track of my notes on day one and managed the pre-meet tidily in chapter 1. Thank you, subconscious!

It's funny (is it though?) how little I want to share about my writing process until SUDDENLY I WANT TO SHARE MY WRITING PROCESS.

If you aren't up for buying a darkish/spicy retelling of Jane Eyre, may I recommend buying Hark a Vagrant by Kate Beaton instead, because "Dude watchin' with the Brontës" is my all-time favorite bit of meta, and is possibly also a touchstone for my book.

Important to know about this book: 1) I basically hallucinated the first draft while sick with the flu; 2) when I put in a potentially divisive 3rd act scene, I took it out and put it back in and took it out and put it back in, about 60 times and that DOES sound like a sex scene pun and I'm sorry

Finished Diavola by Jennifer Thorne, which almost scared me too much to finish--until I started reading it in the spirit of my former latchkey kid self, whose daily returning home ritual was walking around the empty house with my cat, turned paws-out, ready to wield her like scratchy death.

Follow your dreams, friends.
If you wish to become the infamous ghost of a crumbling cliffside castle, one who haunts secret libraries and wine cellars by day and stalks parapets by night, cursing the cold sea below, you should start practicing now.

Hello, I'm a pseudonym. I'm about to release a dark romance version of Jane Eyre. Join me on the adventure of my sideways life in Michesota, where I work in a magical library and always take the scenic route when relating what should be simple anecdotes.
