Project 1! A sci-fi sapphic Cupid & Psyche/East of the Sun, West of the Moon retelling where an advanced alien species imposes themselves as gods on a planet, and Psyche gets Cupid to help her take down the god’s regime. #DVparty
Four images, one of an ornate masked figure in black and gold standing in a garden, a golden church window with painted blue walls, a lithograph of a woman with a candle shining a light on a sleeping man, and a painting of a fist holding a dagger.

A drawing of a woman standing looking out against a red sky. She’s dressed in a white button up shirt, a brown vest, and a purple shawl. She’s holding up a pencil and a journal filled with scraps of paper. At her back stands a dark misty figure in a dark green cloak. Where their left eye would be there is a swirling galaxy instead.

NETTLE & BONE x STAR DAUGHTER 💰 Cheating a suitor out of his money to help her family was easy. 🌌 Falling in love with the night sky trapped in a mortal body is harder. 💔 And helping them return to the sky at the expense of her heart might just be impossible. #QuestPit #A #F #RF #Q #LGBT
A collage of images, going from top left clockwise: a bouquet of colorful berries, swooping white towers with spiral balconies, a shiny purple beetle, a colorful shop full of knick-knacks, a blooming crocus in a dark forest, a drawing of a woman reaching out to the night sky as if to pluck a star, a crumbling castle on a moor, and mushrooms growing on a tree. In the center is a quote by Virginia Woolf: “I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, to me you’re everything that exists, the reality of everything.”

Run. What a powerful instinct.
Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after.

The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden.What we know:
-Runaway in Hiding
-Fake Identity (turned real identity)
-Mental Health Rep
-Genderfluid and Pan Rep
-Found Family
-90s Small-Town Nostalgia 
At the bottom, the name Emma Bridge is crossed out and replaced with Peyton Freys6/23/1996
“The Hills have Eyes”

There’s a collage of pictures. Picture one is of two people, one sitting on the counter with the other in front of them. Picture two is go a small-town street with snowy homes to either side. Picture three shows a row of high school desks. Picture four shows a box of police evidence. Picture five shows a group of kids sitting behind an abandoned building. Picture six shows someone flipping off a police car. Picture seven shows a paper with the words “Child Custody Hearing” printed on it. The last picture shows a boy sitting at a school desk, writing something into a notebook.

Good morning #BluePit! #📖 I present to you, for your consideration, an #AgentsGuide to SCALES OF THE PROGENITOR! (MISS PEREGRINS HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN X DRESDEN FILES) #Bluepit #W #A #F #M
Text saying "Proudly presenting an agents guide to:
SCALES OF THE PROGENITOR
An in-production Urban Fantasy WIP

Turquoise text on purple background, metallic turquoise slide outline with pictures of dragons and a copper scale in corners.
Pitch:
Milly Adams, freshly devoid of employment, takes a job offer at a mysterious manor in a small town nearby, the job involving the protection of a group of incredibly strange children in a school hosted in the manor for a month. She finds, over the course of the next thirty one days, that there is far more to these children, the school and everyone involved than meets the eye, even herself.
But there is a critical need for her services, as a malicious outside force tries to disrupt the school and/or hurt the children, and it’s Milly’s job to stop them."
Pictures of an old manor house and some temperate forest, plus more dragons in corner, same style as first slide.
Comp and Tropes page
Comp titles: Miss Peregrins House for Peculiar Children X Dresden Files

Tropes and Themes:
weird/creepy manor
inhuman school
breaking old trauma’s hold
not what they seem
fledgling abilities
escalating hidden threat

Picture of a person standing in a cave entrance in the woods. Same background as other slides.
Excerpt Text:
"Excerpt:
Then the rage hits me. This thing is in my domain, hurting my students, my friends! This cannot be allowed, will not be allowed! I pump my legs even harder, faster, driving forward with more power than I’ve ever done before. The din of my boots on the wood floor fills my ears until they’re drowned out by a roar of challenge and defiance. I wonder where it’s coming from for a moment before realizing it’s coming from my own throat and lungs, but my focus is on the armoured figure, who spins around in surprise holding Genevieve and Galilah out to the side.
Perfect."

My phone, which miraculously remained pinned between my ear and shoulder throughout my entire blunder, takes that opportune moment to slip.
“Dammit!” I hiss as it tumbles towards the hard tile floor.
I scramble, catching it between two hands just as Dr. Doom-and-Gloom begins to straighten. As I stand, the back of my head collides with his already-crooked nose in a resounding thump.
“F*ck!” he yells, hand flying to his face as I rub the back of my sore head. 
I am so going to be late for this meeting.

When you're running late, need to pee, and find yourself at the end of a long line at the coffee shop, it helps to be friends with the barista #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #wip #romcom #WIPSnips
I nearly burst into tears right there. But I fear any drastic movements on my part may cause some seriously unfortunate bladder leakage. “Soymilk latte, extra hot. And a chocolate chip frappe. You are a saint.”
“Harry would have my head if I didn’t keep you caffeinated. Sometimes I wonder who my dear husband loves more. Me, or the woman who planned his dream wedding.”

Substituting "substitute" for "swapping" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #wip #romcom #WIPSnips
      I am happy. I know I am. I love the life I’ve built for myself. I love my six a.m. pilates classes and my morning walks with Peony and my not-so-unserious dependence on Xavi’s oatmilk cappuccinos. 
       I love Friday night reality TV binges with Lou and the greasy pizza from down the street that is far too convenient to bother swapping for someplace better. 
       And I love my job. I love the clients and the work and the payoff when they see their person at the opposite end of the aisle. 
       But I also love being good at what I do. And that should mean craving advancement.

Without realizing what I’m doing, I stand, ignoring Peony’s near-glare at the disturbance as I walk over to the giant whiteboard I installed to span the far wall, a twin to the one in my office. In the center, I write the initials A and P.
Humming—scratch that, I grab my phone to put on some early 2000s pop, my preferred working music—I pull out a manilla folder of color swatches and old magazine photos I keep on hand for moments like these.

Peony the Italian greyhound takes her sweaters very seriously #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompt #wip #romcom
“Hey there,” I laugh as Peony, my four-year-old Italian greyhound, taps her tiny paws in excitement on my chest. She spins in a tight circle, her frantic tail narrowly missing her face.
“I’m sorry I didn’t greet you sooner.” I scoop her up and place her gently back onto my lap. Her body continues to shake with a barely contained fervor. 
Peony was born deaf in one ear. While it hasn’t stopped me from speaking to her as if she were a human child, she doesn’t always hear the door slam when I get home. Her subsequent realization that I’ve returned always results in a display of excitement that verges on self-inflicted harm.
“You missed quite an eventful morning,” I tell her. She curls up against my shoulder in response, her sweater of the day—a light pink turtleneck with strawberries printed across the back—engulfing her tiny body. “Satan himself was at The Daily Roast and nearly made me late to my meeting with Brian.”
Peony’s smooth head shoots up, as if she is personally offended by the drama.

Hey #BluePitHype! I'm Kendall, a romance writer based in Chicago. I started writing novels four years ago when I finished grad school (any fellow public health nerds out there?). Fast forward a few years and several manuscripts, and I'm hooked! #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #romcom #BluePit

Workout class dates: yea or nay? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #wip #romcom #WIPSnips
“If one more man tries to define the relationship after three dates when my Tinder bio clearly states, ‘I’m here for a good time, not a long time,’ I’m going to shave my head.”

I whip around at the sound of my front door slamming shut. Three seconds later, a tall blonde in a matching workout set storms into my living room.

“Serves me right for agreeing to hot yoga as a date.”

First line, anyone? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #wip #romcom #WIPSnips
Pilates ends late this morning, which means I don’t finish showering until a quarter after seven, which means by the time I walk through the doors of the The Daily Roast at seven fifty-two a.m., the coffee shop is already teeming with healthcare workers, finance bros, and the occasional student whose tutoring gig pays well enough to afford eleven-dollar lattes and bagels.

It also means I haven’t had time to pee.

Plotter all the way! I create a detailed outline where I plot all of my arcs, scenes, and acts. Spreadsheets are my bread and butter! That being said, I always end up tweaking the outline as I write #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompt #wip #romcom

I always find beginnings to be the most difficult part. I usually have a great idea of how I want the meat and end of a story to go, but finding the right jumping off point takes a few tries #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompt #wip #romcom
