Utter silence falls over the banquet hall. Haltingly, I raise my hand.

The host glances to me. “Okay, which one’s yours?”

I point past her. “That one, over there.”

She looks over at the dish I brought, a casserole. My grandmother’s special recipe.

The host approaches my casserole dish on the long table. She peers at it warily. She sticks a fork into it experimentally. There’s a faint metallic clang. She glares back at me.

“There are razor blades in this casserole.” Kneading at her brow, the host sighs. “Okay, that’s it. No more potlucks. For next month’s assassins’ meet-n’-greet, we’re ordering out.”

“….Okay, are any of the dishes not poisoned?! Is there anyone at this feast who did not poison anything?!”

Hey friends! I am doing a super special cover reveal and I could use your help!

I’m sending out a bunch of letters from my main character of my novel With Love, Juniper and I would love if the reading and writing community could help me share it with the world!

With Love, Juniper is a book about a young witch trying to navigate complicated social anxiety issues, learning to live and accept herself the way her loved ones do.

Im sending out handwritten letters, a print of the cover, an additional art print and some stickers all for FREE. All you have to do is fill out this form and I will tend it to you when it’s ready to go!

I’d so appreciate if you can share this post or comment to help it find people who would be interested! If you have any questions, just let me know!

Tagging the list :)

Wip Bingo

Doing this for Honor's Outcasts, and it's almost a bingo! There are dead bodies that end up in the ocean, but nothing plot relevant, so I don't think it counts.

Here's the bingo for Honor's Outcasts :)

I'll tag @somethingclevermahogony @katwritesshit @kaylinalexanderbooks @raiden-makoto @csdarkfantasy @aestheic-writer18 and anyone else who wants to play :)

Are you a writer, artist, or creative of any sort, and you want reblogs on your original work? Submit them to my queue!

Reblog this post and add links to the posts you want me to share.

I'll try to leave comments in the tags but I make no promises

If I like your stuff, I might trawl through your blog for more posts. If you have a tag for your original works, leave it in the tags on your reblog and identify it somehow so I can isolate your original work easily. (Like mine is #etta's art or #etta rambles)

Pls no fandom stuff. I'm behind on the last 80 years of pop culture and this is about supporting OCs and indie projects.

Content warnings/tropes/other info is appreciated but not required

If you see me like your post, that means it's been viewed and added to the queue, you can expect to see it reblogged in 10-30days.

(My queue posts 10 posts a day and I'm down to under 100)

Even if you don't have anything to add to the queue, boosts are appreciated!

Rules: Use fifteen or less lines of dialogue that captures the essence of your OC. The less context the better, but you may include some if you want!

Alice Books

"I think I'll pass thanks."

"If you're gonna stare, you could at least offer me a smoke."

"cool, now will you hand me back my booze?"

"what the fuck?"

"give me a reason as to why I shouldn't kill you, right here, right now!"

"Oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me!"

"Don't. Fucking. Touch me."

"let me guess... They think I got arrested, right?"

"it's because I don't deserve the 'good' things in life..."

“no, Jack. Please continue.” I pulled out my knife from my pocket, twisting the blade between my fingers. 

"none of your business."

"if you want to kill yourself do it on your own time dammit!"

"whatever, smartass."

“I have a lot of problems Cassandra, your gonna have to be fucking specific!” I slammed the drawer closed, turning back to face her with a glare. 

“I'm so tired, Alex.” I swallowed the lump in my throat, refusing to meet his eyes as I stared down at my bloodied chest. “i'm fighting a losing war inside my head every day, and to be honest, I'm not so sure it's worth fighting anymore.” 

Let's just say Alice is a little... Intense...

I hope @musicboxmemories, @arrthurpendragon, @csdarkfantasy, and @malicious-compliance-esq are proud, mostly cause it’s been.. *insert 84 years meme* here since I uploaded something to not archive of our own, but this is a mini novel at this point, so, might as well.

Vampires/war/existential crisis/smut/hurt + comfort, trauma recovery and romance, what have I done? /hj

Last Line Tag

Thanks for tagging me, @kaylinalexanderbooks! :D

Here's an excerpt from Death Waits for Some Men, in which Louise is Mrs. Bennet:

The only good part of the last two weeks was Louise's absence. Either she had accidentally poisoned herself, or she'd had a complete nervous breakdown after the boat sank. At any rate she'd taken to her bed and would complain to anyone who'd listen about how ill she felt, how no one knew what she suffered, and how none of them had any respect for her poor nerves.

From The Blood Cleaners

“If I haven’t returned to Corpa by the time one month has passed, then I’ll be dead.”

Now that I'm getting near the ending, the story is getting more dramatic.

Update on Projects; Sort of Poll I Guess?

So I've been chipping away at this story about a sickly girl being courted by the god of death. It's very much like a lush, velvety romance with some spooky, uncanny elements. It's based in a victorian setting, sort of leaning into the trope of the consumptive beauty.

You get what I'm getting at, yeah?

So here is the sort of struggle I've been having lately: The story has an antagonist, but he feels contrived and a little bit forced on the narrative.

I'm about to start what will be my second friggen rewrite of this and I'm wondering your opinion on this. What if the conflict was the main character stuck between the choice of joining her suitor by ahem...leaving the physical plane and living her life in order not to break her widower father's heart again by taking his daughter away?

Do you think that's an intriguing enough plot line? If the story focused on experiences she has with her father who she adores set opposite the romantic courtship between her and the Bone King? Would her internal struggle about that be interesting enough for you to read?

tagging the tag list! It would be greatly appreciated if you could give this a little boost, too, for a larger sample size?
