Sense of place and physicality. I struggle with this especially in a first draft. I’m lousy with interiority but need to work on anchoring my camera work.
What's something you'd like to improve on in your writing? #WritingPrompt

Off to a great start for #FirstDraftFall. I’m thrilled with how easily my main characters’ voices are coming. I’m very much a discovery writer, and didn’t realize I’d be doing dual-POV until I started writing this morning. Excited to see where it all goes!

Had multiple deadlines coming up for various things, writing and non-writing related, and I managed to just press send this morning at last. Maybe the anXieTy will finally subside~

hey fellas, as Fall rolls around just a reminder to keep using moisturizer w SPF & also to hide away a portrait of yourself in the attic on which your sins venal & ordinary are imprinted so that your outward countenance is forever youthful & innocent!

Have a lot of pent up energy and rage and hope so that’s a fun cocktail that will for sure not burn me out.

Murder rocks a cozy NYC theater community. A stage manager must solve the case — but the Christmas show needs her, cops are looking the wrong way, & her best friend’s boyfriend is acting shady. Without a culprit, they all might lose the chance at their stage dreams.

When the fates of a genius artificer & a ghostly warrior collide, they must outmaneuver seductive half-truths trying to keep them apart. Otherwise a brewing rebellion, demonic beasts, & heartbreaking betrayal will lead them to destroy the land and the people they both love.

ARSENIC & ADOBO X KILLER CONTENT
When a stage manager stumbles upon the body of the egotistical theater owner, she must cast her community as suspects to solve the case, or the theater will shut down and the curtain will fall on her career before it even begins.

Circus tricks. Drag shows. Improv comedy. A stage manager sees it all. But when her unpopular boss dies, she has to solve his murder. Otherwise, her career may be on the line, or worse, the show won’t go on!
