my ex called me her “favorite martyr” and led me into the woods carrying a scythe. and yeah she left me for dead but like. in a hot way.

saw my reflection in a puddle and it blinked before i did. that’s girlhood, baby

Queer horror antho looking for ARC reviewers: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

don’t worry about me i’m just lurking in the woods wearing a slutty black dress and drinking rainwater from a human skull

i don’t want a girlfriend. i want a trembling little lamb who brushes my hair before i devour her soul beneath a red moon

if you can't handle me at my “sobbing in the club bathroom muttering ancient curses” then you don’t deserve me at my “drenched in moonlight and kissing your girlfriend behind a church”

i miss her (the corpse i buried beneath the old willow tree that still speaks my name in dreams)

Really need to stop saying "Thanks, the new ChatGPT update is great!" everytime someone compliments my writing before people start thinking I'm serious

Online AI checkers are hot garbage. What are the telltale signs someone's book/story is just AI generated slop? For me, the phrase "she said, voice barely above a whisper" is what sets off alarm bells in my head #writers #writesky #booksky

Really happy to say my flash fiction story "Spiraling" made this month's edition of Flash Phantoms! Check it out, as well as some awesome short stories from some awesome authors! #flashfiction #horrorwriting

Y'all my first horror novella is coming soon and I could NOT be more excited. More details to come soon but my GOODNESS I had to share this after I got this badass cover back from the incredible @grimpoppydesign.bsky.social 🩸📚👻 #authorsky #horror #cosmichorror #horrorwriters

I was hospitalized for mental health issues/overdosing twice in 2024. Today I'm 9 months clean off of drugs. It's an ongoing battle, but I'm fighting every day and I'm winning. #addiction #recovery

Writing pro-tip: Don't take writing tips too seriously. Everyone's creative process is different. Just read books and write.

Hot take: Reading old books and classic authors is super important for becoming a better writer, but reading contemporary works is just as important for your development. Just read books. A lot of them. #writingcommunity #writersky

Being my friend be like: 👻🩸📚🖤

Main character: I cannot go this journey alone. Side character: You have my charismatic support. Love interest: You have my unconditional love. Author: And MY trauma!

So thrilled to be part of @rivergardnerhorror.bsky.social's upcoming queer horror anthology "Twisted Horrors"! There's some fantastic LGBTQ+ authors contributing to this, you won't wanna miss it! More details soon! 🩸📚 👻📚 #queerwriter #horrorlit #horrorstories #transwriter

Someone PLEASE take away my access to my notes app on my phone when I'm drunk #extremehorror #splatterpunk

While I wait around for responses from publishers/getting my manuscripts back from editors and all that good stuff, I like to post a story on Wattpad with tags that no one uses so I can see a little badge that says "Top #3 in this category" and get just a little dopamine for the day

I won't pigeonhole myself into genres or styles or anything, but I will say off the bat, the moment I write a story that features a cishet romance is the day I never touch a word processor ever again #Queerwriter #LGBT #books

Jumping the gun with social media and shit, but there is so much shit coming through the pipeline for me. It's gonna be cool, trust me.
