My flash fiction, Drawn to Death, has been accepted by Sliced Up Press! It’s going to be part of an anthology called, Saturday Mourning Television. I had so much writing this strange little piece!
Q6: Do you have anything exciting going on outside of #FirstDraftFall - recent or upcoming publications, other exciting projects, etc? Share it here & be sure to post links if you have them!

Ooh, tough one! But it’s such a joy to discover that Arisa, my main character, wants to be a famous fashion designer!
It’s really inspiring to browse for clothes that Arisa would wear or design, whether it’s from my sticker collection or online.

I think the biggest challenge is disguising the major clues in the right areas.
I have to keep telling myself I can always rearrange things later, just so that my inner critic doesn’t get in the way. 😮💨

The reverse outline method has really boosted my confidence as a writer!
I feel like I’ve gotten better at spotting plot holes and other issues in my first draft.

We also have another AJ to announce - A.J. Sharpe (not sure if she's on Bluesky?) - her story Here's One I Made Earlier will have some UK followers nodding their head at the reference, but the BBC wouldn't let this kind of thing go out before the watershed.

Gosh, there’s a lot of goals I want to achieve, but honestly, I want to keep writing horror books that I wanted as a teen.
And now that I’m ready to query my YA horror book, I want to make my 16 year old self proud when I find the perfect home for it.

This one is going to be hard.
One of the last things Matt asked us at Horror Writers Chat was to share a horror writing related dream.
This can be;
> an actual dream that inspired you.
> a dream you have for your writing career.
Interpret this any way you’d like.

I like to think of horror as a safe space where we can explore our fears with our own writing.
And when you write a powerful horror piece that resonates with the readers, it makes them feel seen and heard.

There was a poetry prompt we got to do this year. When I posted mine, Matt’s kind words really boosted my confidence as a writer. I won’t forget that moment. 🥰
