Bedtime here in the UK, so here's one last nudge for my queer, time-bendy, outsider artist, faith-critical, community-positive novel. Thanks to the #DVpit organizers and all the kind writers. May we all sleep well and wake to our posts liked by our dream agents. #LGBT #LF #A #MR

Southern CLOUD ATLAS After 40 years w/o a vision of his angel, Twinkie-loving prophet Peter wonders whether life is worth living. His “angel” is Ro, a human using the visions to plead for resources in their ravaged future. Can Peter understand Ro’s pleas? Or will both die alone? #DVPit #LGBT #LF

Southern CLOUD ATLAS Gay in the South, Peter longs for connection, which he gets—from an angel. But when the angel goes quiet, life ain’t worth living That “angel” is Ro—Artist! Optimist! OK, they live in a shit future, but if this man in the past helps them, it'll be fine! Right? #DVPit #LGBT #LF

FRIED GREEN 🍅x SEA OF TRANQUILITY Without visions of his angel, Peter has lost his reason to live. But his “angel” is Ro, a human using the visions to plead for help in their ravaged future. Options: - Have another vision or die - Obsess over visions & lose their communities #DVPit #LGBT #LF #A #MR

Yellow text on the right reads: Everywhen (all-caps). Beneath is a bulleted list: Literary + speculative, 96K words, multi-POV, dual timeline, voice-driven prose, queer, southern context, Sea of Tranquility x Leave the World Behind. On the left is a photo (taken by me) of art by Eddie Owens Martin who provided inspiration for the novel described. The artwork shows an abstract vertical landscape with two green hills and a yellow sun in a deep blue sky. Bisecting the green hills are a series of triangles or upside-down Vs in red and blue.

It's very early days for my next WIP, so for now I'm just sharing vibes... extreme Marie Kondo x Naked & Afraid x "I'm always being real" #DVparty has been a blast! Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

Marie Kondo smiles with hands raised for emphasis. Text at the bottom reads "This one does not spark joy."

From Naked and Afraid, a man stands in shallow water holding a spear. He wears only a burlap sack across his front.

Photo of Elizabeth Holmes from a teaser for Nathan Fielder's documentary "You can see everything." Holmes is smiling with very wide eyes.

SEA OF TRANQUILITY x LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND Peter & Ro, MCs of my novel EVERYWHEN, may seem different but they share a major flaw regarding how to solve their problems: Both overlook good old-fashioned community-building 🫱🏻‍🫲🏾 in favor of ✨shiny, pretty, magical visions✨ #DVparty #L #LGBT #A #MR

Distracted boyfriend meme labeled for EVERYWHEN novel. The distracted boyfriend is labeled Peter & Ro (the main characters). The indignant girlfriend is labeled "practical solutions via community-building." The woman walking by is labeled "Magical visions fix everything!"

FRIED GREEN 🍅 x CLOUD ATLAS We open with Twinkie-loving prophet Peter: "I ain't saying my angel left me exactly, but they sure being awful damn quiet." #DVparty #L #MR #A #LGBT

In all caps at the top is "Everywhen." Below that is a block of text that says one main character's name, Peter, and the opening line of the novel: "I ain't saying my angel left me exactly, but they sure being awful damn quiet." The background photo is of sunlight shining through Spanish moss draped off of tree limbs.

Graphic describing Peter on light blue background. In the center is a photo of a yellow sculptural face with geometric patterns. An arrow pointing at the image says "Art by Eddie Owens Martin." Other text surrounds the image, reading "white, gay artist in his sixties," "most likely to be watching the heron out back" (with a small photo of a heron), "rural, south Georgia, 2005," "depressed because he hasn't had a vision of his 'angel' (Ro) in 39 years," "Loves Sam, but it's too late--isn't it?" and "also loves twinkies" with a photo of twinkies below.

Graphic describing Ro on light blue background. In the center is a photo of a quilt sewn by Lucy Mingo of Gee's Bend. Text surrounds the photo. Black, queer artist in their teens. Most likely to be painting a mural of queer joy. In dystopic remains of Georgia after the Great Depletion. Nickname: Comet (with a small photo of a comet). Plan: influence Peter through visions to leave food for their starving community--what could go wrong? Answer: a lot.

High time I made a mood board for EVERYWHEN! Queer. Southern. Visions. Time-bendy. Art. Twinkies. Thanks for the nudge to whip this up, #DVparty. Looking forward to seeing what everyone is working on!

Moodboard for novel EVERYWHEN, written in all caps center-left. On the right is a photo of art by Eddie Owens Martin who provided inspiration for the novel. The artwork shows an abstract vertical landscape with two green hills and a yellow sun in a deep blue sky. Bisecting the green hills are a series of triangles or upside-down Vs in red and blue. On the bottom left is another photo of Martin's artwork, a cement wall covered in mandalas and a column with a brown face painted on. Smaller in the top left is a photograph of a grove of trees silhouetted against a blue sky. On closer inspection an abandoned house is at the center of the grove.

P: I ain’t saying my angel left me exactly, but they sure being awful damn quiet. R: Ro knew how to move their body with a beat, how to flit, fling, kick, squirm. G: The Ghost ain’t really a ghost. But the Ghost feels like a ghost and that’s ghost enough, ain’t it? #questpit #Q #LF #S #HF #D

Graphic describing the Ghost on a light blue background. Photo in the center is of a sculpture by Joe Minter. It is a wooden column painted with a simple exaggerated face. On top of the column is a weather vane. Text surrounds the image. Not really a ghost. Most likely to leave you a heaping pile of squirms. Also in dystopic remains of Georgia after the Great Depletion. Friend? Friend? Need friend. Ro friend?? Ro friend, dammit, even if the Ghost gotta knockabout, sockabout.

Black text on a light blue background: Has Peter wasted his life making art for this missing "angel?" Is life still worth living? Can Ro use these strange visions to convince Peter to leave food for them in the future? Or will Ro's obsession with contacting Peter threaten their place in the community? Will the Ghost make a friend?

Photo of sculptural wall at Pasaquan built and painted by Eddie Owens Martin and hired workers. The wall features bright colors, predominantly green and red, painted in geometric patterns. In the right of the photo, is a large column painted with a brown face. Further geometric patterns surround the face.

After 40 years without a vision of his angel, artist Peter wonders whether it’s worth carrying on living. But his “angel” is Ro, a human trying to use the visions to plead for resources in their ravaged future. Can this depressed, Twinkie-loving eccentric get the message? #questpit #Q #LF #S #D

Genuine question: I'm just over 100 pages into Stephen King's 1300-page behemoth The Stand... is it worth it? Possibly relevant: I've not read any King before (except On Writing). Picked it up because I like a dystopia with religious themes.

This is how you become a writer: You have to love writing but it does not mean it will be enjoyable or make you happy. Accept that you will probably not make money. If any of these ever align in any slot machine like combo, live más.
