#BitterEndChallenge update! Knocked out two goals at the end of September and I’m almost done with my brainstorm for my new novel! I’ll be pitching my vampire book tomorrow for DVPit but that doesn’t mean I’m not excited to write something new 👀 do we want teasers for my new project? #amwriting

Today is a rough one in the query trenches so here’s a pretty graphic I made for #1stlinepit last week and didn’t share #amquerying #querywoes

Day 15: what real life music would they vibe with most? Casey would probably listen to mellow indie rock because the rest of her life is so chaotic. #amquerying #horror #horrorwriter

AN EDUCATION IN MALICE x HOUSE OF HUNGER Casey knows 2 things, drugs and trauma, when a third problem arises: vampires. Bitten & promised death, Casey accepts her fate, but her vampire hero turns captor and Casey learns that monsters have many faces. #PosterPit #Q #A #H

A background of a forest with an overlay of a man's mouth flashing vampire fangs. Logline at the top reads "she must confront her greatest monster if she wants to get rid of them all;" title underneath These Mortal Woes. At the bottom says now querying with the comps, An Education in Malice, House of Hunger, and So Thirsty, and the author's bluesky handle.

The vampires are hot but their bites are cruel. It's a good thing they stay hidden in plain sight. Too bad Casey found herself stuck with one in a cabin in the woods. #PosterPit #Q #H #A

A woman in the woods looking over her shoulder in worry with blood dripping down her neck and onto her white dress. The title in the top left corner "These Mortal Woes" written by Bree Buonomo and fake movie awards that state horror, vampires, and 76k words down the right hand side.

Casey barely survives the everyday horrors of a druggie mom + bank account in the red, but when her own drug deal goes wrong, she's bitten. Rescued by a vampire, charming & aloof, Casey fears she might be trading one trauma for another. #PosterPit #Q #A #H

A woman with fangs screaming towards the sky. "A refreshing exploration of the vampire trope" and "now querying" at the top of the page, " the title "These Mortal Woes" in the middle, and the comps and tropes at the bottom.

Her life? Traumatic Her decisions? Poor Her reaction to getting bit by a vampire? Let’s just hope Casey can break the cycle once and for all. #queerpit #A #H

A recipe card for These Mortal Woes, a horror novel, with the ingredients: 1 cup desperate young woman
3 tbsp drug deal gone wrong
1 tbsp handsome vampire rescuer
A pinch of supernatural creatures hiding in plain sight.
Isolation for topping
Mix all together and serve with a bag of blood.
A picture of a man with vampire fangs and the tagline "Is a pretty face worth throwing away her agency?" underneath.

AN EDUCATION IN MALICE x HOUSE OF HUNGER Casey expects 2 constants: drugs & trauma, and vampires might count as both. Of course, she’d live in a world where vamps are addicting and cruel instead of hot and caring. Just her luck. #queerpit #A #H

A background of a dark foggy forest and a google search for "Casey Griffiths" (main character) with results finding:

22 years old
barely graduated high school

AN EDUCATION IN MALICE x SO THIRSTY 22yo Casey thought death by vampire bite was a fitting end, until she doesn’t actually die and the vamp uses his sweet talk to woo her into submission. Surviving isn’t enough anymore, now she has to fight to reclaim her agency. #QueerPit #A #H

Day 14: where’s the first place they’d go on vacation after the conflict ends? Casey would absolutely hide away in the mountains somewhere, it doesn’t matter where. #amquerying #A #horror

010

Bree Buonomo @breebwrites.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

Day 13: what do they seek to change about the world they live in? Casey’s life is constantly on fire so she hasn’t given much thought to the world around her, but if she got the chance to think, she might say more education for generational trauma and addiction! #amquerying #horror #horrorwriter

020

Bree Buonomo @breebwrites.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

Day 12: do they have a romantic interest? Casey is ace coded and has not really had relationships prior to the novel’s beginning, and victor, the vampire antagonist, is the closest she’s gotten to an (unhealthy) romance after he rescues her from a drug deal gone wrong. #amquerying #horror

Bree Buonomo @breebwrites.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

Day 11: Three adjectives to describe them Casey is jaded, suspicious, and compassionate #amquerying #A #horror

020

Bree Buonomo @breebwrites.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

Day 10: No-context snippet of a moment that broke them “A mixture of ire and shame filled her as she urinated, the stream hitting the floor and splashing her pants.” A truly harrowing moment 😭 #amquerying #A #H

010

Bree Buonomo @breebwrites.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

Day 9: who matters most to them? Casey only has 2 people in her life: her mom and her best friend Peyton, and Peyton would for sure be top priority! #amquerying #A #H

020

Bree Buonomo @breebwrites.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Day 8: their enneagram This is a little too much for me 😂 I think Casey and I would relate that it’s too much effort to figure out the enneagram (I don’t even know mine) #amquerying #A #H

020

Bree Buonomo @breebwrites.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Day 7: their guilty pleasure Casey has vices that take center stage, so we don’t get to see her guilty pleasures in the book, but she’d enjoy picking flowers in the woods (not that she’d be caught doing so) #amquerying #A #H

010

Bree Buonomo @breebwrites.bsky.social · 07/08/2025

Day 6: special skills and abilities Casey would probably tell you nothing, but she’s quick thinking and cunning. She is also a natural caretaker (though this comes with resentment). #amquerying #A #H

Bree Buonomo @breebwrites.bsky.social · 06/08/2025

Casey expects 2 constants: drugs & trauma, and vampires might count as both. Of course she’d live in a world where vamps are addicting and cruel instead of hot and caring. Just her luck. #questpit #Q #A #H

Vampires prey on the vulnerable and forgotten, and Casey is their best meal yet. But if Casey can overcome her trauma to earn a 2nd chance at life, she might be able to escape the clutches of the obsessive vampires. #questpit #Q #A #H #agentsguide

Day 5: Did you make them up for this story or have they been a part of you for longer? Casey came to life in this novel, though there was a version of her in a past manuscript. I just wasn’t the writer I am today to make her who she needed to be back then! #amquerying #Q #A #H

010

Bree Buonomo @breebwrites.bsky.social · 05/08/2025

Day 4: how old is your MC when the story starts? Casey is 22-years-old with the life experience of a 68yo 😅 #amquerying #Q #A #H #writingcommunity

030

Bree Buonomo @breebwrites.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

There’s so many good Casey lines imo, but here’s one 👀 “What will rest do for me now, Victor? I’ll be dead either way. Isn’t that right?” #amquerying #A #H #writingcommunity

Bree Buonomo @breebwrites.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

Day 2: my MC’s MBTI would be an ISTJ - she’s practical and calculating, speaks her mind and says what she means, and is also stubborn, judgmental, and honest (unless she wants to get her way, then she might stretch the truth). #amquerying #Q #A #H

021

Bree Buonomo @breebwrites.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

30 days 30 facts about my MC Day 1: where are they from? Casey is from a small fictional town in Pennsylvania, loosely based off of the towns I grew up in/around! #writingcommunity #amquerying #horror

These Mortal Woes: It’s Misery but Paul is a desperate & traumatized Sookie Stackhouse, writing a book is a drug deal gone wrong, & Annie is Edward Cullen if he reached his Joe Goldberg potential #unhingedpit #A #H #Q

No bingo for me, but you get a snippet! “Ignoring her nagging thoughts, Casey threw on loose sweatpants and an oversized sweater despite the summer heat outside. A chill had crept over her skin, sinking into her bones.” #amquerying

✨ QUERYING SOON ✨ As I begin crafting my agent list, the reality of querying is settling in. I’m SO in love with this project & my gritty, angry MC. I know there is a champion out there somewhere for Casey’s story and the internal horrors we grapple with as humans. #amquerying #amwritinghorror

Casey goes on the hunt for her next fix only to be bitten by one vampire and saved by another. But this isn’t a fairytale, and every corner lurks another monster in waiting. Casey must confront her traumas and chose a new path if she wants to survive. #camprevit #katydeads #adulthorror #vampires

Back to working on my vampire novel this week. Despite not being selected for #revpit, I feel like I have a good sense of direction for this next edit 🥰 Here’s my mood board 👀 What are you guys working on today?
