βš” BLOODGUARDxTHE SERPENT AND THE WINGS OF NIGHT βš” "A deep, guttural cry rips from my chest and claws its way out of my throat. A scream so raw and unrestrained, it blazes hot in my lungs. The forest will soak up my pain." #1stLinePit #Q #YA #F

🌿 THE DEADINGxSotR 🌿 "That wall. That damn wall. That big, beautiful slab of concrete with its glittering forcefield. It haunts my dreams." πŸ‘€ editor interest πŸ‘€ #1stLinePit #Q #YA #SF #DS #SPF

🌊 WHEN THE MOON HATCHEDxNEVER KEEP 🌊 "The lifeless man at my feet gave no fight. What a shame. I prefer my hunts to have a little more thrill. More adrenaline. More zest." πŸ‘€ editor interest πŸ‘€ #1stLinePit #Q #NA #A #F #RF

AGENTS/EDITORS, here is my #AgentsGuide to THE ATTRITION, a YA dystopian romance where: 🌿 the earth is sentient & hungry for vengeance πŸ—‘ with rivals to lovers who seek to uncover the truth no matter the cost ✨QUERYINGπŸ‘€ πŸ‘€Editor Interest✨ #amquerying #WritingCommunity

50kkkk in my rewrite of my ya dark fantasy βš”οΈπŸ₯€πŸ’« god i love this book πŸ₯Ή

final stats for #FastDraftFeb βš”οΈ starting status: 15k πŸ₯€ current status: 44k βš”οΈ total words written this month: ~ 29k so close to 50k omg

Warning: falling in love will result in death 🌊 assassin prince x bounty hunter pirate πŸ–€ a deadly quest for a dragon's egg 🌊 a blood pact that might require them to kill each other to break it πŸ–€ rivals to enemies to lovers to ???? #WSPitQ #NA #A #F #R

finally reached 30k in my rewrite of my YA dark fantasy so here’s a little book playlist to celebrate βš”οΈπŸ₯€πŸ’«

Thrown into a quest with a group of thieves, an assassin prince & a bounty hunter pirate get stuck in a blood pact where they can't kill each other, but they must to break the bounties placed on their heads. The only problem? They may have fallen in love #QuestPit #Q #A #RF #F

Coveting her brother's throne is certainly a sin, but after Zerena challenges him to a death match for the throne, dragging her younger siblings into the contest, she must dabble in far worse sins to achieve her goals #QuestPit #Q #rewrite #YA #F #DF

In a competition where not only graduates kill each other to win but so will the sentient earth, Tabitha's survival relies on her rival. The more she explores the deadly flora, the more the lies of her life (and her feelings) unravel #QuestPit #Q #YA #SF #SFF #DS
