Seeing @spanishforbad.bsky.social break a leg
Been in an insane reading slump. Tried something quick/punchy to work through it. My first Junji Ito as well. The manga at the back was my favorite part of it, but none of the stories seemed complete.

Day 11: Line from WIP
“Why don’t we start with the horseshoes found around Mrs. McElroy’s body?”
“That’s an easy one. Witches.”
He didn’t even flinch as he said it.

Day 9: Character Most Based on Me
The main character in my drafted, unedited, and unpublished haunted house novel, (tentatively titled Hush) was unintentionally more like me than I planned.

Day 8: Favorite Idea that Didn’t Pan Out
I attempted a story where squirrels, using a HQ in Central Park, attempted to take over the world. Fun idea. Not my best execution.

Day 7: Favorite Book Cover
Of all the books containing a story of mine, this cover is my favorite. It just really fed into the whole vibe of the anthology.

Day 6: Favorite Couple
Most of my stories are focused on 1 character. “Bombshell” is my first published piece with a couple at the center. This piece will always hold a special place in my heart. Not to mention it was inspired by a song from one of my favorite bands.

“Muriel was a gifted storyteller and generous innkeeper, but those things didn’t make her any softer than the hardest sailor or less sly than the most ardent of merchants.”

Day 2: Favorite Chapter
I haven’t written much that requires chapters but my current WIP has chapter where my trio of protagonists investigate a deceased neighbors house. They each find an item which speaks to them and leads to insights into the bigger story.
