Who would have thought that being a writer would force me to be more public about my life than ever before 😅 apparently everything is content. Including this!

Electrified crystal can’t be contained in Riza’s mind forever. Seekers are determined to claim it. Her family is being killed, the life of the man she loves is in imminent danger, and her home is on the verge of destruction. Only one choice remains. Unleash the chaos. #SF #F #YA #DvPit

Keep them sealed, keep safe. One surge of her elemental power ended in a deadly mistake. Riza vowed to never use it again. Unleashing chaos may be the only way to save herself, the man she loves, & her home from the Seekers hunting her kind. POWERLESS X STRANGER THINGS #sf #f #ya #DvPit

Power is a death sentence. Riza’s chaotic elemental ability puts her on the radar of the dangerous Seekers hunting her kind. When the life of someone she loves is in imminent danger, she must learn control, if she doesn’t destroy herself in the process. POWERLESS X WEDNESDAY #SF #F #YA #DvPit.

A new chaotic elemental power. A world-altering secret locked in blood. A vicious group hell-bent on hunting Riza down. Survival means learning control but destruction could come from any corner–those trying to take her, those who might betray her, or even by her own hands. #SF #F #YA #DvPit

Pure unbridled energy lies sealed away in Riza’s mind for fear of hurting anyone again. Until an immense seizure unleashes a new chaotic elemental ability capable of decimating anything in its wake. And a terrifying vision. Someone else knows & they are hunting her down. #SF #F #YA #DvPit

One day I will get on a professional call with my agent and/or editor to talk about the fictional characters and world I created, strategize launches, marketing, sales and it just hit me all of the real world things that’ll happen around the fictional world in my head. Wild. #writingcommunity

The Chaos Seekers by Stefanny Monga The Red Queen x Stranger Things x Firestarter in an Upper YA adult crossover potential contemporary fantasy romance

The Chaos Seekers Query Blurb
A new power is ascending…

Power is nothing new for seventeen-year-old Riza Murillo. Pure, unbridled energy she can only describe as chaos lies sealed away in her mind for fear of ever hurting anyone again. It’s the only way she can lead a semblance of a normal life…that is until it begins to grow. An immense seizure unleashes a destructive new ability: a whirlwind of black crystal, capable of decimating anything in its wake. And, a terrifying vision. Someone else knows about her abilities and they are hunting her down.

Terrified for her life, she confides in her papi Gray, the only other person with abilities she knows. Gray reveals a shocking truth: they aren’t the only ones. Hours after Riza’s vision, a girl goes missing in their upstate NY town, a girl with ascending abilities. Soon after, Gray is asked by the police to return from retirement to help on the case and use the powers he’s kept secret and sealed away for years.

With the looming threat, a warning comes from a new transfer student to her high school, Eli Kyle. Determined to find out what he knows, she confronts him and he reveals his history with the dangerous Seekers. Deciding to partner with Eli presents a risky new course, pushing the limits of her new powers while tearing her heart in two directions, toward Eli or her long-standing affection for her best friend.

As more children with ascending abilities vanish, close friends are being killed, and the life of someone Riza loves is in imminent danger, Riza must push aside the fear of losing control, unleash her full power, and stop the Seekers. Destruction could come from any corner – those trying to take her, those who might betray her, or even by her own hands.

So my CP told me to jump onto #QuestPit tomorrow! This is my first time doing it but I'm in draft 3 of my #contemporaryfantasyromance ala The Red Queen x Stranger Things x Firestarter and I thought, why not? If you like or comment on this post, I would appreciate the support & support back!

It’s going to come down to the individual author to protect their work, including language against gen Ai and training into contracts and copy write. Unfortunately, this may only apply to future books not yet published. #authorsagainstai #writingcommunity #booksky #writingabook

Content creating vs. writing. Both are creative but I find content to be a challenge to plan ahead unlike planning my book. When I do it feels forced but creating content on the fly takes away time. Trying to figure out the right balance 🙃 #amwriting #writingcommunity #contentcreator #writingabook

Stefanny Monga Author @stefannymonga.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Curious, what does a writing routine look like for my fellow writers here & has it worked out for you? I have more of a fluid one, targeting a word count goal or completion of a scene, over butt in chair time from x to x. Let me know!

Stefanny Monga Author @stefannymonga.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Draft 3, last act edits 🫣 while my book is still well over word count (like 250k) the story feels exactly where I wanted it to be. #amwriting #writingcommunity #amediting #writingabook

Book publishing drama never fails. Not adding to it but just a takeaway: If you feel like your story isn’t good enough, remember you don’t even need to have a book written to get a 2-book deal. Be confident in yourself and your work. #amwriting #booksky #writingcommunity

Chopped 15k words of my over bloated manuscript and working on cutting more. At first I thought it would hurt me and my story…turns out, it was like a breath of fresh air. Heavy plot doesn’t mean great story, sometimes less is more. Took me a long time to learn this but glad I did! #writingabook

Got on the train to go meet my writing partner in SoHo. Met up, wrote for 30 mins. Laptop 💀 Relocated to another coffee shop. Nowhere to sit. No plugs. Relocated again. And again. Lesson: don’t go to SoHo during fashion week to write in a cafe. Also, charge laptop before leaving.🫣 #amwriting

Does any other writer hyper fixate on one song for days on end because you can visually see the scene play out in your head and need the song in order to write it? I’m going on day three of listening to the same Sleep Token song 🤤🖤 #amwriting #writngcommunity #aspiringauthor

I am convinced that the reason we kick our feet when we read a certain scene is because the author did too when they were writing those scenes. We’re all just collectively kicking our feet at imaginary scenarios and that makes me feel seen and happy. ❤️ #amwriting #writingcommunity #aspiringauthor
