A little bit behind on my week 2 update. Last week was intense with first week back to work after the two-week break but managed to get a good chunk done on Saturday (10k+)!

#CRPNightcrawlers #CampRevPit The theme of the monsters in my MS is vampiric and more specifically things that "feed" off of humanity. Which goes from your average typical vampire, to the Starved Ones and the death-gods. But it also includes the system that these monsters thrive in. 1/2 🧵

Give me every scream, terror and nightmare to crawl across the page or screen as long as it's got an amazing hook! But if I had to pick it'd be Cosmic Horror. The existential dread that comes up in those stories is literally to die for. Top Films are: The Endless and The Void! #CRPNightcrawlers

When 16-year-old Nia picks the wrong pocket, she unlocks a magical talent she didn’t know she had. Now she’s posing as an heiress, a con man’s gone missing, and Nia and her friends are on the run with a living doll, pursued by gangs, magehunters, and the governor herself. #BluePit #YA #A #F #LGBT #W

A mood board of eight tiles and a centre square with lockpicking tools and ancient writing:
1. Always have an escape plan.
2. A swindler never lets herself feel like a fraud.
3. Don't look for the easy grab, look for the easy mark.
4. Never get involved with golems.

The pictures depict, clockwise from upper right:
A) A city of canals and towering footbridges. There are minarets and steeples and red-tiled roofs.
B) A market selling elaborate lanterns, all aglow.
C) A porcelain and gold hand, reaching upwards.
D) Two figures leaping across rooftops against the coming dawn.
E) A pocketwatch--or is it? Constellations and continents cover the front, the body of the watch engraved with runes. It's sitting on ancient parchment.
F) A wax stamp with removable chits that function as coins in a card game.
G) The lords of the city overlooking grand canals and issuing edicts. They are dressed in fine red robes and silks.
H) Assorted bones and shells used for divination and more.

F/NB WAYFARERS x MURDERBOT Everything fell apart when the human came aboard. Instead of nice meals and quiet cargo runs, Tai's stuck with bickering crewmates, sinister criminals, explosions, and worse, a human who wants to be friends. #BluePit #BluePit📖 #SF #A #Q #R #LGBT

Mood board/Agent's guide for my novel CARGO - a queer SF/heist/romance - 113,000 words

"Did you hear? There's a human on board."
A graphic of the wall of a spaceship with sticky notes and polaroid photos taped up. There are twinkle lights hanging from the ceiling.
alien ship's cook (fussy, anxious) + terrifying monster (ordinary human)

PITCH:
Tai’s terrified of humans. Everyone is. Violent pack hunters, humans are notorious for their strength, sharp teeth, and carnivorous appetites. But the ship’s cook is safe among the multispecies crew of the cargo hauler Coreward Baker: everyone knows the warrior species rarely leave their own space. Then Captain Raz hires Clarke, a human horticulturist.
Even after Tai overcomes their fear, they can’t stand Clarke. She’s bossy. Annoying. Useless in the galley, bad in a space suit. She might as well be cargo. Worse, she’s intent on befriending Tai—and why can’t they stop thinking about her, anyway?
That’s when things go wrong. As Tai starts to realize their feelings for Clarke, they’re horrified to learn that nobody on their crew of dropouts and runaways is quite who they seem, least of all Clarke. And it’s no coincidence. Raz reveals they’ve each been handpicked for a heist he’s spent years planning—and no one’s allowed to say no.

PRIORITIES:
make dinner
remain cozy
haul cargo
go for drinks
pull off one last score
try not to fall in love

FIRST PAGE:

“Did you hear? There’s a Human on board.”
I choked on my noodles and turned to stare at the diners at the next table. Like most of the restaurant’s patrons, the pair had hidden their profiles, a halfhearted attempt at anonymity.
“Gross,” the speaker’s crewmate said, oblivious to my alarm. “I hope it leaves soon.”
“Don’t let it hear you say that,” the first worker laughed. She made a show of looking for Humans, her eyes darting from table to table.
It. I frowned. I knew the workers’ language distinguished between people and things, and ‘it’ was an unkind choice of words at best.
The second worker shuddered. “I don’t know why we let them come here.”
The first laughed. “Are you going to stop them?”

COMPS:
Murderbot by Martha Wells
Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wisewell
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

TROPES:
Non-binary narrator masking anxiety with sarcasm
lying to themselves
non-human perspective (afraid of humans)
neurodivergent main characters
metaphorically disabled protagonist
slow-burn friends-to-lovers and enemies to lovers in the same relationship
disabilitynorm and queernorm setting
found family
loveable pet/terrifying monster

Ten years ago, fallout from tragedy broke them apart. When reunited at the cottage for a wedding, she tries to resist the temptation of reigniting their flame, but he’s the one who can’t be trusted, and nostalgia might not be worth another heartbreak. #bluepit #bluepit📖 #a #r #q

an agent’s guide to
None of This Was Real
contemporary romance

Pitch

If you love someone, let them go and if they come back for your sister's wedding, then nothing can possibly go wrong.

Nostalgic for their teen romance, two exes reconnect at a wedding in the place they fell in love and fell apart after a tragic accident. When they finally build each other’s trust back, a secret reopens old wounds that fuel the fires of the insecurities that lay dormant for ten years.

happy place: What if your happy place stopped being happy?
every summer after:Two timelines, lake house setting
Adelaide: A story that will break your heart and sew it up again
how to hide in plain sight: Complex family
dynamics
atomic hearts: 2010s nostalgia

excerpt: His presence made me feel like I was seventeen again and happily suffocating in my family’s lake house. Back then, I was enamored by the smell of pine trees, lake water, and cigarettes in a dive bar parking lot. Summers were like a warm pitcher of beer, a crisp can of Pepsi, and tobacco-tainted kisses.

Now I was twenty-eight, killing time waiting for the delayed 1 train after telling the lawyer we shouldn’t see each other anymore and it was frigid outside.
