Absolutely devastated to report that plotting does indeed tell you what the plot is. Will be asking for a manager on this one.

That feeling when the riddle you wrote in your very first book that died in the query trenches can be used in your new book VERY EFFECTIVELY almost six years later. What is dead may never die 🔥🔥🔥

Girl, same

Hahahah as if I have just ONE big unfinished project 🤪

My new favorite thing to yell at students on Fridays: HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND WHETHER YOU WANT TO OR NOT

Today’s fun fact: you can “drown” in grain even if your head is above it due to the sheer amount of pressure it can create on a human body.

Today’s WIP google search: when do bison rut? 👀 (as late as September thankfully, for plot reasons)

Ominously positive

New on the blog - interview with author Sami Ellis! Follow the 🔗to see her talk about bedbugs, James Daunt, and her secret life of crime 👀 www.thewritingfolks.com/blog/five-wi...

Still not sure this prescription is perfect for me!

This is brilliant—in response to the Frankfurt Book Fair's contemptible erasure of Adania Shibli's brilliant MINOR DETAIL, her publisher Fitzcarraldo Editions has made the ebook free to download for the duration of the Book Fair, on Amazon UK, Apple Books, and Kobo.

Kicking things off on this account with some exciting news...SORCERY AND SMALL MAGICS, the first book in my fantasy trilogy, will be published by Orbit in 2024!

Today’s writing research: “hey google, which sign is the horniest?”

I like my women like I like my coffee I forgot on a bookcase for a month and just found - colorful and thriving with their own rich and deeply bizarre inner life.

I am once again, for some reason, writing a book.

Have a hobby that isn’t writing. I promise, your brain needs the break!

Me trying to plot my current horror: HERES A PLOT okay but what is it ABOUT tho? It’s about a fire monster. But what is it REALLY about?????

Haven’t done one of these in a while: 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 MANIFESTING 📚 📚 BOOKISH 📚 📚 GOOD 📚 📚 NEWS! 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚

I’m Chandra! Writer/teacher/mom. I write, paradoxically some might say, mostly horror and romance these days. My most recent publication is a piece in an anthology called Saltwater Sorrows that is arguably horror. 🎃🎃🎃 You’ll hate me but the Halloween candy I look forward to each year is candy corn 🙈

My smallest child: how is the world in space, but we are not floating off it? Me, slowly sipping coffee: I am NOT prepared to teach you astrophysics at 7 am.

Enough about “emerging writers” — we're looking for retreating writers. Descending writers. Stagnant writers. Bog body writers. We’re looking for writers who share traits with anglerfish. #writingcommunity #horrorwriting #paranormal #litmag

MERCURY HAS NOW GONE DIRECT!

BEHOLD! A sleepy little bat at my local Walmart 🥰

And here’s the moodboard for the book with 10% more hurt!

If new word count is 80k And 8k of those are new words And almost all of those new words were used to increase the hurt my characters experience on page Is it then safe to say this new draft is, mathematically, 10% more painful?

You see, I have these cats.
