#LGBTQWriteAThon CW: This snippet shows similarities to police brutality. For context, this particular scene was inspired by when I covered Occupy Wall Street back in my college days. I remember watching as riot cops cleared out a group of unhoused ppl & protesters camping in a park.

#LitHodgePodge Given that Susi is usually smart enough to spot a trap, feel free to lay a trap for Gabby. If you THINK you can trap Susi, you can certainly try!

##LGBTQWriteAThon Gabby loves wearing pink. Specifically I imagine her in a cute pink tshirt and jeans with pink sneakers like Lizzie McGuire. Susi likes wearing purple and green. My profile pic is the outfit I imagine for her. Purple dress, green jacket.

#AwesomeCharacters Using my BG3 Tav Miranda for this one. She would either choose a casual dining place or a little known but amazing hole in the wall. She would love to go to a place where she can perform, as she is an entertainer by trade. And she likes earthy, hearty food.

The world around you breathes and blossoms."

#LitHodgepodge7 I wanna share a snippet from My Ex Is A Vampire since it's already published. Context: Jane knows that there's a vampire at her high school Homecoming football game. She's torn between wanting to stay out of it & her instinct to slay the vampire.

Ms. Ocampo Writes @msocampowrites.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Some corrections. 1) The main antagonist is named Manang, short for manananggal. She's voiced by the iconic Lea Salonga. 2) The little guy you forgot is King Truffle Wuffle, a dwende. 3) If you haven't listened to the soundtrack, go and do so!

#LitHodgePodge My YA urban fantasy series was inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer and has a lot of Buffy-esque elements. Also, there's a chapter titled Carry On, Wayward Son in Drama of the Undead so Supernatural would be a good fit for my characters as well.

#LGBTQWriteAThon Drama of the Undead moodboard Drama of the Undead is a murder mystery with the vibes of Knives Out and Phantom of the Opera. Also, there are vampires and cult vibes.

A moodboard with pictures of a full moon at night, a chandelier, a video camera, spotlights, a book with glasses and a magnifying glass, a picture from a Phantom of the Opera adaptation, a female vampire, three ladies at a masquerade ball, and a mirrorball

#Sustember This year, I read Pretty Dead Queens by Alexa Donne and it's a good example of suspense in a murder mystery. You definitely won't see the twist coming!

Ms. Ocampo Writes @msocampowrites.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

#Sustember I recently read Mia P. Manansala's Homicide and Halo-Halo. It's a cozy mystery but the suspense is still there. Lila struggles with anxiety/PTSD and is constantly scared of something happening to the pageant contestants, especially one who's connected to her family.

#Sustember This is how Susi is introduced in My Ex Is A Vampire.

A picture of a hipster cafe with text that reads "He led Jane inside the media room and pointed out a young woman
with short jet-black hair. She wore black glasses and a graphic-print
shirt with a picture of an owl on it, skinny jeans, and sneakers. College
students would’ve presumed the young woman was a hipster who was
only there to ironically watch the show.
A tingle shivered down Jane’s spine and out her shoulders."

#WeeknightWriters I'm currently reading Dungeon Crawler Carl and I totally get why this book is so hyped. I do also get why it's not for everyone, but I'm totally enjoying this book. Princess Donut is my favorite and I so wish she could narrate her own book or short story.
