I deleted my pitch as it triggered my PTSD, but I do have a high concept/stakes manuscript with a closed setting & strong emotions centered around mental health. It's an adult dark fantasy. Would that interest you if I've been rejected by an agent once?Thanks &enjoy the pitches! Theres amazing ones!

Typing this reply is harder than I thought. How I pitched the manuscript is triggering me more than I expected. It’s simple but reading the personal touch is surfacing emotion I was *not* expecting. I feel different about my SA every time I mention it. So if this disappears, my anxiety took over.

I wish I could comp Dungeon Crawler Carl lol it’s too big now but the survival is very similar to CRIES OF THE AGON’s contest rounds. Theres a dungeon in my book’s sequel 🥹 the biggest difference is my danger is slightly higher, there’s no level up& it’s romantic instead of a cat & her bodyguard 😂

Rosafière, an amnesiac vampire, is on the run from her husband (and sire). Trapped between the urge to return or to trust August, who promises answers and a love that’s real, her only hope for freedom is to drink her sire’s blood—which he refuses to give. #PicantePit #W #F #GF
a 9x9 moodboard with a grayish beige and red color scheme. The images from top to bottom, left to right are as follows: a close up of a male's eye, the moon with red shadows/smoke surrounding it, a silhouette of a hand reaching for a disappearing male body, open pomegranates, a silver cross with blood coating it and the wooden table it's on, lit red candles, silhouettes of a person pulling someone closer by their chin, a closeup of roses on a black backdrop, a painting of a woman crying enlarged tears. A quote overlays the moodboard in white and red lettering, it says: "And when you find yourself utterly alone, you'll come find me just like you did tonight."

So another author friend of mine is reading CRIES OF THE AGON and sent me this 👀👀 &oh indeed, the entire contest’s design is to (swiftly) harvest souls, but alas, there are opposing powers of mythical legends toying with the results. Poor Diarmuid, Haley & other souls 💔🫂🤗

Making tweaks on pages based on agent &editor feedback & giggling. They all love Diarmuid's voice. That makes me happy. ;-; He's a great character & I had fun writing whatI feel comes after his #myth when a Greek goddess curses his soul & he must fight against other mythical heroes to save it. <3

My very first original #character. Shes involved in a million fanfictions (particularly DBZ, Fate, Pokemon) where I imagine my characters in their worlds or their characters in mine. She’s the heroine in a story of gods, the supernatural & magic that I might publish one day 💙

In Honor of Pitchdis: My Struggles with Chronic Health Issues and Writing
When I was younger, I used to joke and say: I’m a medical mess! to describe my health issues. Well, turns out, it would get more dehabilitating—especially when writing.

In Honor of Pitchdis: I've written a blog post on Substack linked below. I suffer from many professionally diagnosed health issues like idiopathic insomnia, ADHD, spinal nerve damage, and so forth but I'll always write and give the best version of myself for me and all you <3

Greek gods, Irish God, a Welsh incubus and a Norse giant all have a reason to manipulate the souls of the living and the dead. Such a tragedy indeed. 😩

Hmm, that’s tough. Maybe something more in depth about how it makes you overly dependent/think less? It that the info it gives is always tailored to what you ask of it so you don’t get honest responses?

My completed duology is a dark mythic fantasy about an Irish hero whose soul is cursed and trapped in Hades and the healer who tries to save him to remove her bounty in a tortuous agon among the dead. It centers around the duality of mental health where one heals from past trauma and the other

Haha my stack is indeed, I have so many things that sound interesting to me I've gotta have it in any media it's available! And it's usually a mix. I prioritize library books first and the rest on my mood, must haves, if they're recommended to me, etc But usually it's what hooks me faster

In leu of being hyperbolic about how show don't tell sometimes manifests generic and overused phrases—I think I permanently scarred one of my writing mutuals. It was: "Eyes widen bigger than a woman giving birth lalala," They'll definitely remember that when reading "eyes widened" lol SORRY! XD

I want something new. Please market, can we get something new? I’m tired of watching and reading the same thing. I’m not saying don’t do tropes but where is the unique twists instead of copy pasting? You know why the indie film Obsession did well? It was new. Fresh. MORE PLZ💙
