Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 18hContinuing my relisten of The Way We Haunt Now, my cozy horror audio drama, with episode 4. This ep is where I get to start playing with the Qs that drove me to write this show: how would a ghost who's been dormant since the late 1800s navigate the 21st century? would the rules have changed? 011
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 18hEpisode 4 post 5 FRANKIE IS HERE!!!! Eleanor Grey brought her to such vivid afterlife (idk if Eleanor is on here?) I cannot imagine a better VA for the role. 🖤 I forgot how intense Frankie's intro is. Heck yeah. #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 000
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 18hEpisode 4 post 4 THAT CLIMACTIC SCENE AHHH -- no spoilers, but I'm pretty sure I used the sound of punched dough for the impact 😈 #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 100
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 18hEpisode 4 post 3 Ooooh okay past me (and Kira for this killer delivery ahhh) -- short clip linked below #TWWHN #HauntResponsiblypca.stEpisode Four - The HauntingDescription The voice haunting Eulalie has her exhausted, afraid, and distracted. Waiting at a crosswalk, Eulalie accidentally starts crossing with the wrong light and–– ––Frankie should feel… 100
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 18hEpisode 4 post 2 Internet searching to solve ghost problems, as you do. Anddd it's You Haint Seen Nothin' Yet, my favorite ghost hunting YouTubers (played by @lindsayzana.bsky.social @starplanes.bsky.social @holographicva.bsky.social and Paul Rollins)! #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 110
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 18hEpisode 4 post 1 Oh, hey, I'm actually okay at acting sad?? This... tracks actually. Also, Eulalie's cricket monologue at the start of this episode low key slaps if I do say so myself. #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 100
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 23hI finished a poem recently that's this Love Island meme X 17th century fairy lore but make it ace AF truly, I'm living my best writing life 030

Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 05/10/2026Ep 3 post 4 Mary's monologue toward the end of the ep (the one about possibility and dancing in the rain) is one of my favorites this season. Ahaha the shut up / make me sibling moment at the end 💚 #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 100
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 05/10/2026Ep 3 post 3 There's something really nice about these short eps. Note to self for next time I write a show. And you know what? I stand by my use of kitchen cupboards and drawers as SFX of the haunting breaking loose at Eulalie's apartment. #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 100
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 05/10/2026Ep 3 post 2 The transitions in this episode sure are ... something ahaha. Things are starting to get interesting haunting-wise, too. #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 100
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 05/10/2026Ep 3 post 1 In today's episode we're talking to inanimate objects at length! Exploring 19th century recording technology! Experiencing death poetry ala Christina Rossetti as voiced by Eleanor Grey #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 100

Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 03/10/2026ICYMI I'm live posting my relisten of @hauntnowpod.bsky.social this month to celebrate its 6th anniversary. Here are today's thoughts on episode 2 👻 #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 000
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 03/10/2026Ep 2 post 5 On which note! ALICIA!!! @jeswinstonva.bsky.social was so so good in this role. LMAO though on my ace self failing to flirt normally even when it's acting 😅 #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 110
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 03/10/2026Ep 2 post 4 Calling Thomas Edison a "particularly skilled patent filer" FTW - he really did write that screed about spiritualists btw Also, I feel like I leveled up wrt sound design between ep 1 & 2. Esp. with the pub scene. #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 110
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 03/10/2026Ep 2 post 3 Creepy time loss trope muahahaha Hyperfocus rep! The horrors of grading, but make it LITERAL #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 100
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 03/10/2026Ep 2 post 2 Parker!!!! I loved writing Eulalie and Parker's sibling relationship and working with the extremely talented @marniemcflyva.bsky.social #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 110
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 03/10/2026Ep 2 post 1 OKAY it's a relentlessly crisp and gorgeous day and I'm pumped to be listening. Immediate LOL - I bullied my dad into voice acting for this ep bc shelter in place started while he was visiting & we had nothing to do & he was perfect for Ed the Repair Guy #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 100
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 03/10/2026ahahahahahaha! I did it, I DID IT, I have reached 100 060
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 02/10/2026Ep 1 post 4 I remember being very proud of the sound design & wanting to give it time to shine. (Look, you run around all day with a Zoom h4n recording bus arrivals and departures & you want to highlight that, dammit). In retrospect, I'd do significantly less of that 😂 #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 110
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 02/10/2026Ep 1 post 3 Also also whewwww writing about autistic burnout without knowing I was writing about autistic burnout bc I hadn't had that realization yet 😅 #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 110
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 02/10/2026Ep 1 post 2 Still LOVE a good narrator and daaaaaaamn was I lucky to get to work with @kira-apple.bsky.social ALSO I gasped when Eulalie's students started doing their recitations (being vague bc spoilers) #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 120
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 02/10/2026Ep 1 post 1 (I had a lot more thoughts about this ep than I expected to!) Some obvious rookie decisions (including casting myself as a lead cough cough), but I found myself listening with fondness and appreciation of my emerging storytelling instincts. #TWWHN #HauntResponsibly 110

Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 15/09/2026For my current WIP (which I'm referring to online as 'horror faeries'), my MC's status quo song is "Ark of the Covenant" by The Beths "bold to imply I didn't need to be troubleshooting my assembly" Y'ALLLLLL it's so good idk what the end of arc song is yetyoutube.comThe Beths - "Ark Of The Covenant" (Full Album Stream)YouTube video by The Beths 010
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 15/09/2026For the novella my agent is currently shopping around, there were a few of contenders for my MC's status quo song, including Lucy Dacus's Nonbeliever. My MC's end of arc song was a tie between "When I Grow Up" as covered by First Aid Kit and "Best Left" by The Beths.youtu.beLucy Dacus - Nonbeliever (Live at The Current)YouTube video by The Current 110
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 15/09/2026For Bartleby in HIGHER MAGIC, the status quo song was "I Told You That I Was Afraid" by The Beths and the end of arc song was "Closer to Fine" by Indigo Girls (because how could it not be?)youtube.comThe Beths - "I Told You That I Was Afraid" (Official Visualizer)YouTube video by The Beths 110
Courtney Floyd @courtney-floyd.com · 15/09/2026I use music to think about character arcs when I'm drafting, and so instead of theme songs I usually have a status quo song and an end of arc song (or songs) for my MCs. 130
