#BitterEndChallenge update!
Knocked out two goals at the end of September and I’m almost done with my brainstorm for my new novel!
I’ll be pitching my vampire book tomorrow for DVPit but that doesn’t mean I’m not excited to write something new 👀 do we want teasers for my new project?

For the 4th quarter, I’m going to accomplish my goals out of SPITE and I’d love for you to join me!
I’m doing the #BitterEndChallenge with @zillawrites.bsky.social and here are my goals!
I’ll also post an editable template for you to add your own goals and the YouTube video!

Today is a rough one in the query trenches so here’s a pretty graphic I made for #1stlinepit last week and didn’t share

Day 15: what real life music would they vibe with most?

Casey would probably listen to mellow indie rock because the rest of her life is so chaotic.

AN EDUCATION IN MALICE x HOUSE OF HUNGER
Casey knows 2 things, drugs and trauma, when a third problem arises: vampires. Bitten & promised death, Casey accepts her fate, but her vampire hero turns captor and Casey learns that monsters have many faces.

The vampires are hot but their bites are cruel. It's a good thing they stay hidden in plain sight. Too bad Casey found herself stuck with one in a cabin in the woods.

Casey barely survives the everyday horrors of a druggie mom + bank account in the red, but when her own drug deal goes wrong, she's bitten. Rescued by a vampire, charming & aloof, Casey fears she might be trading one trauma for another.

Her life? Traumatic
Her decisions? Poor
Her reaction to getting bit by a vampire? Let’s just hope Casey can break the cycle once and for all.

AN EDUCATION IN MALICE x HOUSE OF HUNGER
Casey expects 2 constants: drugs & trauma, and vampires might count as both. Of course, she’d live in a world where vamps are addicting and cruel instead of hot and caring. Just her luck.

AN EDUCATION IN MALICE x SO THIRSTY
22yo Casey thought death by vampire bite was a fitting end, until she doesn’t actually die and the vamp uses his sweet talk to woo her into submission. Surviving isn’t enough anymore, now she has to fight to reclaim her agency. #QueerPit #A #H

Day 14: where’s the first place they’d go on vacation after the conflict ends?

Casey would absolutely hide away in the mountains somewhere, it doesn’t matter where.

Day 13: what do they seek to change about the world they live in?

Casey’s life is constantly on fire so she hasn’t given much thought to the world around her, but if she got the chance to think, she might say more education for generational trauma and addiction!

Day 12: do they have a romantic interest?

Casey is ace coded and has not really had relationships prior to the novel’s beginning, and victor, the vampire antagonist, is the closest she’s gotten to an (unhealthy) romance after he rescues her from a drug deal gone wrong.

Day 11: Three adjectives to describe them

Casey is jaded, suspicious, and compassionate

Day 10: No-context snippet of a moment that broke them

“A mixture of ire and shame filled her as she urinated, the stream hitting the floor and splashing her pants.”

A truly harrowing moment 😭

Day 9: who matters most to them?

Casey only has 2 people in her life: her mom and her best friend Peyton, and Peyton would for sure be top priority!

Day 8: their enneagram

This is a little too much for me 😂 I think Casey and I would relate that it’s too much effort to figure out the enneagram (I don’t even know mine)

Day 7: their guilty pleasure

Casey has vices that take center stage, so we don’t get to see her guilty pleasures in the book, but she’d enjoy picking flowers in the woods (not that she’d be caught doing so)

Day 6: special skills and abilities
Casey would probably tell you nothing, but she’s quick thinking and cunning. She is also a natural caretaker (though this comes with resentment).

These Mortal Woes = An Education in Malice + House of Hunger

Her life? Traumatic
Her decisions? Poor
Her reaction to getting bit by a vampire? Let’s just say Casey better hope she can break the cycle once and for all.

Vampires prey on the vulnerable and forgotten, and Casey is their best meal yet. But if Casey can overcome her trauma to earn a 2nd chance at life, she might be able to escape the clutches of the obsessive vampires.

Day 5: Did you make them up for this story or have they been a part of you for longer?
Casey came to life in this novel, though there was a version of her in a past manuscript. I just wasn’t the writer I am today to make her who she needed to be back then!
