Resurrecting my #RevPit quote from April Fools because nothing encapsulates the chaos and absurdity of a human college girl navigating Faerie like this line 💀 #CampRevPit #OneLineMC #CampSparkleSkunks 💖
“I've never felt so small and helpless as I do now, trying to outrun monsters in a Subaru Outback.”

No one is more ready to see GOLDSPINNER on a bookshelf than I am, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to live out that dream (while letting you know a few more fun facts about where it would sit and why)! 🥀❄️🌲🦌🪡 #RevPit #RevPitWaiting

Today’s #RevPitWaiting theme is the Critique Partner shoutout, and there’s no one more deserving of that praise than @emily-isliterate.bsky.social! Goldspinner would only be a fraction of what it is without her thoughtful insights🩵 I can’t wait for the day E.E. Gordon is a household name!

Two of my other active WIPs! Project Lighthouse 🌊 A Study in Drowning x HCA’s The Little Mermaid Project Circus 🎪 The Night Circus x I’m Glad My Mom Died #RevPit #RevPitWaiting #WIP
Half of the page is a moodboard with grey seas and a postcard of a lighthouse. 

The other half reads: PROJECT LIGHTHOUSE— brainstorming, literary/dark fantasy, chronically ill FMC, slow burn/yearning

A man and his daughter keep house for a wealthy family during the off season, spending bitter winters by the frigid sea year after vear. Trapped inside due to her frail state, the daughter spends her days staring out the window. When she catches a glimpse of a person out in the surf... she must face her fears of the ocean and finally learn to swim.Half of the page is a collage of circus elements including balloons, masks, clowns, and a ticket

The other half reads PROJECT CIRCUS: brainstorming/outlining, dark fantasy/suspense, historical Brooklyn, generational trauma

Kit Edison is not a bad person. Kit Edison is not a bad person, and yet she's running away.. again. This time, it will be for good- as she's told herself hundreds of times it will be. But when her family's circus comes to town, will she be able to stay away? Or will the claws of family dysfunction wrap around her throat once more?

Quote “I cannot push the nagging thoughts from my mind, the ones that tell me, no matter what I do, I’m as much a monster as any” over a background of a girl in armorQuote “There is no end to imagining the horrors of what the witch will take from a person, and there is all the more to harvest from a desperate soul” over a background of light emanating from  a woman’s fingertipsQuote “They don’t even know what they have. Power and poise balanced with the ease of a breath. That is the difference between them and me: I am just a human with death at my fingertips” over a background of people dancing in a ballroom
