Horror Novel Aesthetic - “Can’t You Hear It?”
Lionel’s friends are dead. Grief & guilt are all-consuming, but the nightmares & hallucinations are terrifying enough to destroy him completely. #booksky #horrornovel #author #writingcommunity

I like to create playlists for my books with songs that describe characters/scenes.
In my “Can’t You Hear It?” playlist I have “Dear Agony” by Breaking Benjamin as a song that describes Lionel’s struggle.

What song would you assign to your MC? #booksky #writingcommunity

That moment when you finish a chapter that sets up the final battle perfectly and you read it back saying to yourself “God I can't wait to read what happens next!” but…. You still have to write it. #booksky #writingcommunity #author

Life is busy & it is hard to sit down & write everyday, especially for authors who still have to work another job. Don't let the fact that you didn't write for a day or two make you feel less than. You're always a writer, even if the words didn't make it to page today. #writingcommunity #booksky

Oop. Looks like TikTok is back. 😶
Back to my regularly scheduled content.
Just remember: you don't celebrate a man who puts a bandaid on the bullet hole he created.
Anyways… books… writing journey…. 😅 #booksky #TikTokBan

You know one of the biggest reasons Im upset about the #tiktokban is bc the amount of random small creative talents I could stumble upon. A guy adding saxophone solos to song, a girl singing in a staircase or humming to a fan. Animations. Writings. There's so much art to be lost. #art #booksky

The total despondent feeling of wanting to go see what everyone is saying about TikTok being gone and the first app I want to open is TikTok. 🥲 #tiktokban

Sorry BluSky, I’ve been doom-scrolling TikTok one last time 🫡 gotta pay my respects to those who came before 😔 #TikTokBan

I just found out that Brandon Sanderson is uploading a new semester of his writing class to YouTube! I watched the one he posted in 2020, it was very helpful & I’m excited to see what has changed over the last five years! As a newer author I love to learn from the more experienced #writingcommunity

I’ve been self-editing my first three drafts of my WIP “Can’t You Hear It?” All of which have been pretty developmental focused with some minor line fixes. Anyone have any tips on doing a thorough line edit? #writingcommunity #booksky #horrorwriting #author #bookediting

My current horror WIP is called Can’t You Hear It?
After witnessing the gruesome deaths of his best friends, Lionel must deal with his grief and guilt all while starting to hear a disembodied growling. It’s probably just PTSD though… right?

I’m a totally Neutral Plotter I know the gist of every scene but that means making small changes along the way and I make like… 90% of the character bios… for most of them 😅 #writer #writingcommunity
What type of writer are u.

I am for sure a lawful pantser. Even if I try to plot it all goes out the window.

I’ve been described as someone whose awkwardness is so genuine, it’s endearing. So never give up! One day you too can level up and become so socially awkward that you can be an expert like me!

I’ve got to let y’all know my top three fantasy too! Priory was the first adult fantasy book I read and it kicked off such a love for these kinds of stories. What do y’all think of these picks? What’s your favorite fantasy novel or series? #booksky #writingcommunity #fantasybooks #fantasywriting

We are still getting to know each other, so here are my top three horror books! All have very different vibes but each one does a theme or trope that I love perfectly. I’m always looking for more, what are your top three horror books? #booksky #horrorbooks #horrorwriting #writingcommunity
