Truly over the moon to have worked with Kelp Journal to publish a love letter, really, to my sister. She said it made her cry but this time happy tears, and it’s been miles since we’ve cried those. #sisters #brothers #siblings #familybonds #writersky

KINSHIP, 84k, #A #H #T w/ #LGBTQ rep. Megan’s reunion with her long lost brother is complicated when he kills his lover. Luckily, Megan’s prepared for this. Subversion of gothic tropes + send up of true crime culture. #2025Pit
Collage of 5 images overlaid with word KINSHIP: sharp metal nails coming out of a bright red lipsticked mouth, a lesbian couple clasping hands, a bloody white cloth against a pink background, light shining behind a spiderweb with a juicy spider and the shadow of a hand, a man's bare back as he is held by another man.

Overall: The individual images create a square. The images on the outside of the square are dark and atmospheric in color to evoke being trapped. The images in the middle of the square are golden in color to evoke life, a bearing heart. Top Row: Girl stands alone in front of hollowed out house; tornado touches down in a pasture; tornadoes hang from the sky and touch the ocean. Right Row: A close-up of a hybrid human stands behind a fence and watches. Bottom Row: A Jeep leaves behind a devastated city where many tornadoes roll through the city in the background; a tornado destroys a school; a girl stands alone on the beach and watches a tornado touch the ocean. Left Row: a girl alone looks down a road in search of someone, a tornado in the distance. Middle Row: A girl and her boyfriend look out at the view; a closeup of a Thomas Guide map page; a Mon and daughter walk and hold hands; a girl and her two best friends hang out.

Mixing sugar with butter? Good.
Mixing business with pleasure? Bad. Terrible. Stupid.
But there's no crying in baking, and the cost to save S&N Sweets? Pretending to be his live-in girlfriend.

#R #A #YouDeservePit #AmEditing
It'll Cost You: A Contemporary Romance Comps: Unfortunately Yours by Tessa Bailey, A Not So Meet Cute by Meghan Quinn, 2 Broke Girls TV Show Natasha has one dream: to take S&N Sweets from side business to storefront bakery. When her sugar daddy leaves her, she’s chef kitchenless, broke, and lands flat on her back underneath her annoying co-worker, Beckett. Rock has met bottom until Beckett makes her an offer she can’t refuse: pretend to be his live-in girlfriend, and she can have full access to his ovens. Another agreement without sweet promises, because no one stays in Nat’s life forever. Beckett doesn’t need a girlfriend to be happy, despite the protests of his friends and family. All he wants is to be promoted from VP of Operations to COO of Carmichael, Lennox & Ross, Corp.. He just needs to survive the acquisition of Sterling Property Group, all while pretending to be someone he’s not. When Nat derails all his plans, he wrestles between being the man he promised someone else he would be, or the happy one he never thought he’d be again. Snippet from IT'LL COST YOU where Natasha wagers her terms to pretend to be Beckett's girlfriend, stating it'll cost him if he wants her to be sweet and loving.
