The pitch for my novel, with a moodboard featuring doors, a dark forest, an empty factory, and shadow figures lurking in doorways.

SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE x LOVE ISLAND
Jesutoni’s to-do list:
1️⃣ Enter a dating show to bolster sales
🗓️ Spend 5 weeks in 1 cabin with a stranger

What’s not on her to-do list:
💔 Meeting her ex

But when has her heart ever followed instructions?

A nine-image romantic moodboard:

1. A man lifts a smiling woman in a white dress on a beach.

2. A film clapperboard being snapped on set.

3. A man in a blazer covers his face with one hand, wearing rings.

4. A cozy writing desk with a lit candle and a computer screen showing text.

5. A silhouetted couple kissing at sunset by the ocean.

6. A laptop on a bed showing a word document draft.

7. A woman in the sea, facing a colorful sunset horizon.

8. A hand writing in a notebook with a pen, close-up.

9. A couple kissing while waves crash around them at sunset.

A queer sci-fi reimagining of the Greek labyrinth myth ft.

A moodboard with blue tones. At the center is a glowing blue planet. Surrounding it are: a snake, a cluster of glowing crystals, neon lights forming a geometric pattern, futuristic blocks with glowing lines between them, a pair of hands, some glowing optic fibers, blue crystals laid out in several rows, and some bioluminescent waves. There are two neon squares overlaying the moodboard—one smaller one outlining the plannet at the center, and a larger one crossing through the corner images.

Art of Ren and Micah from my YA sci-fi book, commissioned from artist kaizmos. Ren has pale skin and dark brown hair in a half-ponytail. Micah has brown skin and dark brown hair with an undercut. They are both wearing futuristic dark bodysuits with glowing blue lines. They are standing waist-high in water and surrounded by glowing blue crystals. They are holding hands and gazing dazedly at each other.

Officially intrigued!

Erin @erinaries.bsky.social · 13d

It's OK; it's the WoE sequel, and I didn't realize how much of what happens in this one I moved to the first one, so I've had to sort of...re-plan?

Am revising...which is also a mixed bag. Glad you're working, though!

Add in a cup of Dead Like Me and 2 teaspoons of Liam's Lynch's "United States of Whatever" to The Midnight Library. Fold in Dark Matter with half a stick of butter, and you've got The World of No. (More butter as necessary.) #UnhingedPit #A #Q #SPEC

This is giving me flashbacks to a movie (live action) I saw as a kid, where a prince was turned into a monkey...although I cannot remember what movie it was. I think Harryhausen was involved somehow.

You might remember it as the second time Willow used the "Bored now" phrase.

Erin @erinaries.bsky.social · Sep 3

I can send you the clip, but it's pretty violent. (At least for 2002 American television.)

Erin @erinaries.bsky.social · Sep 2

I also have a newfound resonance with the Willow/Warren scene near the end of season six.

This is giving me serious "World According to Garp" car accident vibes.

I saw Cloak & Dagger so many times that when I finally went to San Antonio, I thought I'd been there before. (Wasn't a tape; it just played on HBO constantly at my grandparents' house.)
