6 undergrads escape for a weekend off grid. When the party of a lifetime spirals into a missing persons case, friends become suspects & one might even be a killer. Which should be the main concern...but something sinister in the woods followed them home.

A tip that CHANGED my writing forever:

If you want to up your dialogue game, watch one of your favorite movies with the subtitles on and take notes!

Examples:

Body language = dialogue action tags

— and … = tension points

I honestly never thought another story would grab me the way the story I currently have on sub did with that white knuckle hold that DEMANDED I write it.

My horror rom-com [REDACTED] really swung in like “hold my beer, b*tch!” 😈

I am OBSESSED!!

Redefining 👎 Imposter Syndrome’s lies:

What if my book sucks? —> What if it changes lives?

What if I never get an agent? —> What if that next query connects you and your perfect match?

What if readers hate it? —> What if you become someone’s favorite author?

I don’t wanna brag, but I told my dad about the horror rom-com I’m writing and HE—the man who vehemently hates reading—thinks it’s a badass idea so…

I’d call that a win! Lol 😏😈
