WEYWARD x THE BEWITCHING When two witches in different times find themselves battling the same ancient forest spirit, they must use magic to communicate and find a way to save their covens from destruction. #GhostPit #H #SPEC #A
9 grid image with a red-brown color effect. Horizontal Row 1: silhouette of a girl in front of a bonfire, forest, profile of a girl with wavy hair. Horizontal Row 2: a Romani-like caravan in a field, a beast hiding between trees, a girl doing a tarot pull. Horizontal Row 3: a girl bowing in front of a bonfire, a coven of witches dancing around a fire, a girl using a mortar & pestle to grind herbs.

Anyone else get so engrossed in writing they do randomly stupid things? I grabbed my electric kettle to make tea, filled it with water, and put it on my gas burner. Reader: electric kettles DO NOT GO ON GAS BURNERS. Sidenote: it went up in flames immediately #amwriting #writingcommunity

Spent all day working on book edits and realized my whole personality revolves around the trope DO NOT GO INTO THE FORBIDDEN WOODS. So what's your favorite trope? #amwriting #writingcommunity

I love how my edit letter for my sold book dropped right after I wrote this🤣 Apparently I am changing course for a bit.

25k into this gothic christmas ghost story calls for an aesthetic, particularly when it's seasonally appropriate. #amwriting #writingcommunity

I love that feeling I get when I start writing something new and I just can't wait to get back at it all the time because my whole brain is living in that world rather than the real one🤣 #amwriting #writingcommunity

Oh my gosh I lived to see the yes votes in other years. So fun! Good luck everyone! I've longlisted for this award previously (and not listed other years) but now I have a book deal. Whatever happens, don't give up! #BCNA2024 #writingcommunity
