I'm in my head a little bit friends. Found out someone I liked interacting with blocked me, which is fine- you do you- but I have to ask for my own peace of mind. Am I promoting too much/being annoying? I have a lot coming up and out this month, and I haven't had time to do much other than-

Thank you for the fun month. These prompts have been super helpful. My first novella is coming out October 17th! Murder, mystery, and magic. #Sustember

In front is a line drawing of the Space Needle in white that fades to a haze at the bottom. The words read (from top to bottom): Necromancer's Oath. SHADOW CURSED (with cursed crossed out).

Hey, artists? Never, ever, ever say "I don't want them to pay too much" for a commission. For a sticker? A book? Sure. A comm? If they agree to the price, then that's a good price. Negotiate, sure, but don't lowball yourself. If it's easy, that's because you're skilled. And skill isn't cheap.

I don't know if it is underrated or not but Unwanted Undead Adventurer. At least no one around me was interested in it. For a LitRPG anime/manga it leans into the curious which I love. Rentt is also, as it has now been coined, a traumamuffin. www.crunchyroll.com/series/GW4HM...

#Sustember Pandora Hearts (the manga, anyway). While it's not exactly what I'd call suspenseful, Jun Mochizuki did an amazing job at building the mystery around what's going on. And that's not say there isn't suspense--the whole thing about Humpty Dumpty's murders was insane (in a good way--and

#Sustember Sept 28 My favorite writer is Edgar Allan Poe. I grew up in Baltimore where he died. You don't live in Baltimore & not know about Poe. 😸 I visited his grave and home. Big fan. Poe builds suspense until you can barely take it. His endings always leave you in awe. The man was a master.

#Sustember Sept 27 (I'm doing these out of order) Tips: 1. The shorter the sentence the more intense the anxiety becomes. 2. Show, don't tell. Exposition drags the pace to a halt. 3. Use all the senses. 4. Have plenty of action to keep the tension going.

#13MorbidMondays For Rebecca, it would likely be Elena who wrote the epitaph. "The world weeps from your loss." It wouldn't say much of anything about who Rebecca actually is. Most of the characters from TFTNG are extremely long-lived and wouldn't ultimately receive gravestones.

#13MorbidMondays I figured I would share some snippets, considering both my WIPs have epitaph in them :)

A snippet from Acanthus' POV in Aloe by Artemis Quinn. It says:

"Are you sure about this?" Cypress' steel and storm eyes searched my face, worry etched into them like an epitaph.

A snippet from Such Sweet Sorrow by Artemis Quinn. It says:

My head was whirling as I left Sinclaire and Sinclaire. I ran through the to-do list mentally as I walked back to the rental van. I need to get more death certificates. DMV. The bank. The obituary. The gravestones and the epitaph... it kept growing. I floated in my head through most of the drive, and by noon I was pulling into the long, gated gravel driveway.

This is hard. So much of my consumption for the last 5 years has been non-fiction. I don't have exact examples off the top of my head. Many of the writers I gravitate toward let the reader discover things along with the characters and not in a "got you" moment way. #Sustember

#Sustember I have a lot of favorite authors. This regularly rotates based on my preferences at the time. This year I've been heavily reading T. Kingfisher. She's really effective at burying the lead of her scares behind humor until they're too large to ignore.
