Writing, reading, and crying my way through life ✨
I’m beta reading for someone in exchange for some character art (I can’t wait to show y’all!) but it’s always wild and amazing to me that I have a werewolf book and SHE has a werewolf book but they’re both so different! I love human creativity.

NeverMIND I’m the worst actually. I realized the first pages I was sending out had a HUGE ISSUE that I somehow missed and somehow also got through two rounds of beta reading and all sorts of edits WHOOPS
This attitude is getting me through the query process #amquerying

I’m gonna be real with y’all, I’ve had a rough week. Cried so long on Monday that my eyes hurt on Tuesday.
BUT I just laughed out loud while reading Bookshops and Bonedust by @travisbaldree.bsky.social and I think that’s what a reader’s life is all about.

Reading about the insane numbers of books that ordinary working people used to read a hundred years ago feels like seeing pictures of the Pacific Ocean back when it teemed with whales. Hard to comprehend what we’ve lost.

I need to hire somebody to slap my hand every time I reach out to grab a book I’ve already read.
There are so many new books to read! But the allure of knowing it’ll fit exactly what I’m craving 😭 must… resist…

This isn’t horror novel related but I’ve been making a doll of my dear friend for like a year now and I’m just really putting off sewing his tiny clothes because it’s SUCH a pain

I’m so pretentious. I can’t stand myself.

That first writing sample request is a high I’ll never forget. A full manuscript request would probably kill me, at this stage. #amquerying
I have barely started the query process, in the grand scheme of things, but it’s still so crushing. The anxiety is immense! #amquerying

My dog had a seizure.
Now, she’s fine, but it made me think:
You see, there’s a sort of story that goes around the internet about how dogs get sick and try to hide their symptoms - this is phrased as “throwing up behind the couch”
And the writer argues humans can be guilty of this, too

A pic you’d use as an album cover
The anniversary after my husband walked out, I quietly and tearfully destroyed all of the wedding ephemera I’d saved in a box in my car.

I’m amazed at the number of agents looking to work with the kind of novel I’ve written.
It’s a good time for horror! So many good books out lately and I’m sure there are more on the way.
