Book 1 (FULL MANUSCRIPT): A Postmodern Gothic Thriller
Book 2 (WIP): Political Satire x Magical Realism
Pinned
𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭’𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧 × 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐚 𝐘𝐮𝐤𝐢𝐨

Aesthetic cruelty turns darkly academic in this twisted tale set in a secluded estate. A wife hires a caregiver to “care” for her husband—to make him “happy”—using her withdrawn academic paper on power. It’s love curated into madness.

Slowly realizing that my current WIP is in fact possessed by the ghost of Sir Terry Pratchett. Like DISCWORLD meets Succession!!!!

gods I miss him. These crazy times would be less dour if he'd been around.

Going to the bookstore is never the same for me now that I’m writing my own books. I don’t just see books—I see many hands, tears, frustrations, years of hopelessness. A bookstore is a place of immense suffering, and also miracles!

What are we calling it now? NovNov, NotNanoWriMo, JustFinallyWritingThatNovelinNovember??? I've been writing my second novel for a while now and am now at 48.2k words! This story demanded so much from me that I'm just hoping to survive it with just enough crumbs of my mental health to recover after!

Reading the first manuscript I finished a few months ago and realizing that I was in such a bizarre mind set that time. Felt like I was posessed! The story felt so alien to me now and that makes it all the more strange now that I’m querying it.

I wrote 1k words today, clocking in at 47,500. 15k more words and I probably have a first draft in my hands!!

Ok its writing for me instead of film—

I thought Miyazaki was just being cute—but damn, now that I’m in his shoes, I get it, old man, I get it. 😮‍💨

Back in the 1960s, the Smothers Brothers made fun of President Lyndon Johnson and his policies many times on their popular television show. The president wrote them a letter in response.

Querying while writing another book, getting rejected and getting sample/ full MS requests, in between worrying how to move the plot of a WIP is such a wild ride. I'm tired but also I LOVE IT???

I'm writing satire now and one of the hallmarks of this genre is the cynical aside that the narrator or characters often employ.

These days, I feel like I'm not cynical enough???

A bit slow but I'll get there!!!
