A little something that didn’t fit yesterday but I still want to share it #QuestPit

Sounds Like

Cosmic Love - Florence + the Machine
I took the stars from my eyes and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating. you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

Sunlight- Hozier
Each day youd rise with me
Know that I would gladly be
the Icarus to your certainty
Oh. my sunlight. sunlight, sunlight
Strap the wing to me
Death trap clad happily With wax melted. Id meet the sea
Under sunlight. sunlight. sunlight

How to Live - Del Water Gap
I know too much. it's freaking me out
But there's gold under the rust
Figuring out just how to live
Im so afraid youre finding me out
But there's something in the rough
Figuring out just how to live

Too Little. Too Late - Laufey
Lost my fight with fate
A tug-of-war of leave and stay
I give in. I abdicate I lay my sword down anyway
Ill see you at Heaven's gate
Cause it's too little. way too late

An Evening I Will Not Forget - Dermot Kennedy
When love was found
I kept my hope just like Id hoped to
Then sang to the sea for feelings deep blue
And coming down
And we've had problems that we ve grown through
But I bet you dream of what you could do

This picture is a mood board for the romance book, “Breaking the Blueprint.” The general vibe is enemies to lovers with elements of the NYC architecture industry culture and shifts to the small town feel of Colorado mountains. The main character is a redhead woman with freckles and brown eyes and the main love interest is a brunette man with blue eyes. The images show them getting close through dancing in the kitchen at night, playing in the snow together, and nights out on the town.

When a shared injury reluctantly brings a champion figure skater and NHL-bound hockey player together, they must decide if their love for the ice outweighs their resentment for each other. Welcome to SIX MINUTES 🏒⛸️❤️‍🔥 #QuestPit #R #A #Q

An Agents Guide To SIX MINUTES (photo of figure skater and hockey puck).

The Pitch: When a shared injury reluctantly brings a champion figure skater and NHL-bound hockey player together, they must decide if their love for the ice outweighs their resentment for each other.

The Comp Titles: Revolve, The Favorites, and Off Campus (2026). Tropes include: Dual POV, deal trope, rivals-to-lovers, found family, forced proximity, and “take off that jersey.”

The Blurb: Parker Knight and Barret Keats share two things—their love for the ice and an injury that’s jeopardized both of their futures. Determined to compete in her senior year before leaving her grueling coach and hometown forever, Parker strikes up a deal that could make or break both their careers: he helps her get back on the ice, and she pulls strings to give him one last shot at the NHL. Consumed by the idea of making it pro, Barret finds himself not only fixated on HOCKEY, but the girl that holds his future in her hands. As the season begins, Parker must decide if her passion for the ice, and her feelings for Barret, outweighs her need to leave it all behind.

An #AgentsGuide to ASHMARKED for #QuestPit The first lie was calling it faith... #A #F #DF #Q

An Agent's Guide to Ashmarked
Netflix's Midnight Mass meets Shadow and Bone for corrupt faith breeding sanctioned violence and bound to dangerous power others seek.

The Comps- Blood over Bright Haven for power built on a buried, dangerous truth, and Godkiller for an unwelcome bond with a dangerous power

The pitch: When darkness incarnate breaks free from her fire-worshiping faith, a young woman discovers it's bound to her bloodline, making her the key to re-caging it. Now hunted, she must sever the tether before it consumes her.

Photo: burning mannequin.

The quotes:

"You were the light in my lifetime of darkness."

“The Flamebearer didn’t bear the darkness,” he said softly, as if he knew that what he said next would break her. “He was the darkness.”
And it did. She broke, entirely. Right down the middle of her heart. The words violated prayer she’d ever whispered, and every memory of every drop of blood she’d ever given.

orange pink back ground with moon-like circle. Text: High Strung.

Comp books are The -Commers by Katherine Center. Not Another Love Song by Julie Soto. The Ex Vows by Jessica Joyce

four pictures, A center circle that is pink-orange with text that reads: from top left: a marble hand squeezing a marble thigh, a meme with text that says You're invited to suffer with a join button. Hot man and hot woman kissing, a hand dipping in water.

Center pink-orange-purple circle says The Characters. upper left, hot guy in nice suit holding a violin, below him is a pull quote: A moment passed between us, her eyes dark velvet. I was in trouble. Cold Nanette? i could handle. Hot Nanette? I was learning to cope. But warm Nanette would break me. Upper right is beautiful woman playing cello. below her is pull quote: Before luca, I thought i knew everything there was to know about myself, seen all the way to the edges of who I was. But now I wondered if there was a different Nanette, lurking just beyond the border of should. A good girl, who wanted to do bad girl things.
