Queer bog creature. (They/Them) 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ I usually write some combo of spooky, speculative, or sexy. I'm published in 10+ places under a different pen name. Status: Ought to Be Thy Adam is with the line editor.

Ought to Be Thy Adam's line editor gets it 😏 "The shriek I let out when I read this... my boyfriend was genuinely concerned and came rushing into the room." "I have to remember that I am working on an expensive piece of equipment and not a book that could endure being thrown across the room. 😤"

It's such an interesting thing to balance. Trying to make a point without making a character a modern insert. I don't know if you feel this too, but it's WEIRD as a writer writing many shit takes through characters you don't agree with to realistically balance the ones you do in that world 😅

“I collected bones from charnel houses; and disturbed, with profane fingers, the tremendous secrets of the human frame. In a solitary chamber, or rather cell, at the top of the house, and separated from all the other apartments by a gallery and staircase, I kept my workshop of filthy creation." 🧪🫀⚗️

One more for the road before I start my line edits. 🫴🫀
Drawing of the monster choking out Viktor Frankenstein. A black box is over it that says:
Ought to Be Thy Adam
I selected the final unused vial, yanked the cap off between my teeth, and injected it straight into the still heart. I held the organ in my hand and squeezed gently. Like I wished to rediscover the heart’s ability to pump like Erasistratus once had. I pulsed my fist again, coagulated black blood spilling down my wrists.

“Take,” I breathed as I massaged the heart, willing my serum to work.

And for one startling moment, I felt a flutter. A small ember that I craved to crane down and breathe into. Small, delicate thuds of muscles contracted in my grip.

Thud.

Thud.

Having my line editor email me multiple times throughout her edits to tell me how much she adores the novel feels great... but it also feels like my mom telling me I'm cool, haha. 😆 (I'm very thankful though!) But good news: we're on track for OTBTA to head to query by the end of October! 🤞

My secret is that the lightening strike for OTBTA was from a string of Frankenstein Jayvik fanarts. Comets' art being the biggest inspo of the lot. 🖤 OTBTA is in absolutely no way related to Jayvik (Jayce is worlds nicer than my Viktor, haha) but it gave queering Frankenstein a face for me.

Viktor dominates the narrative until "the monster" breaks free, then we get his POV. Once they reunite, the POVs are tugged back and forth between them. Robert Walton also gets a little tiny POV as the nod to the OG. Characters get POVs based on who narratively holds the power at that point.

I literally walked by them filming it (while looking for IWTV filming) and got to watch them do some fun stunts. It really is funny how that works. So many shows it's like.... "okay they didn't even try to edit out the TTC give me a break". 😆

Some of my favorite pieces of Milo and Cam from The Witch of the Wood! Artists: @/zestoflemon @/93brochan @/ekikeki @/kalimpaszmadar
A drawing of two young men. On the left is Cam. He has dark skin and shoulder-length, shaggy dark brown hair. He has a large, happy grin on his face and his hands are on his hips. His clothes are a chaotic patchwork of different colors, and he has a scarf around his neck. He's looking at the man on the right, Milo. Milo has lighter skin and short black hair. He looks slightly worried as he holds one arm with the other. The fingertips of his left hand are stained black. He's wearing a cream tunic, brown pants, and boots. He has a dark green cloak around his shoulders and a bow slung across his back.Cam and Milo lying in the grass with a tree shading them. Cam holds Milo's hand, pressing a gentle kiss to it as Milo looks flustereda picture of two young men, Milo and Cam. Milo has tan skin and short cropped brown hair. He’s wearing a green cloak over a tan tunic. He is blushing with a shy smile. Cam has brown skin and messy dark brown hair that reaches his shoulders.

Milo is sitting up. He has short dark hair and tan skin. He is holding a bloodroot in one hand and his other hand is resting on Cam's head. His fingers on his left hand are dark due a curse.

At the bottom of the note it talks about the fictional city of Svartrau having districts named in a Transylvanian Saxon fashion. Sure enough, when I checked, the names reflect the German dialect. (Which makes sense, Saxons were deeply interwoven into the economics of the region.)
