i haven't made a moodboard in a hot minute i forgot how much fun they are ANYWAYS i think this is a fun color palette for The Granny Woman i think it could use another dark color to be an actually usable color palette, but that's a problem for another project

This week went well, though I didn't meet my goals 😅 There's still hope I'll finish The Reformatory today, but I barely wrote this week! Tho, a short story of mine was published, another short story was been plotted & outlined, & I even got a functioning timeline up for CMI! #LGBTQWriteAThon

Does the God in the basement of the church count??? I think They count Other than that, Kit's skeletons are his personal issues. He's hiding things from his partner, giving her vague answers when she asks how he's doing when he's really falling apart mentally and physically #LGBTQWriteAThon

I don't think Kit has a favorite outfit, not in a "i think i'm too cool for that" way but in a "i was raised to not put too much stock in material possessions" way now that he's forced to face the way his religion fucked him up, i think he may find that he favors his comfy overalls & a good hoodie

the way i'm getting a pedicure rn & they have the white sox game on so the nail tech is scrubbin my foot while turned watch, there's a random walmart customer in here watching, my mom getting her mani is watching, & the nail tech actively shaving down her acrylics is watchin over his shoulder

Appalachian Folk Horror meets queer punk subculture with an emphasis on identity within community A.K.A. fucked up rural queers doing fucked up shit in the name of figuring out who they are and building their community up

Okay folks of the #WritersCommunity, I have an interesting indie marketing prompt challenge... Give us your elevator pitch, for yourself! What is your author brand? How would you sell yourself?

Lesbian SFF with an emphasis on the human in the speculative, marrying complex emotions with fun and/or fucked up worldbuilding. ...yeah. that feels correct.

ooooo this is fun, yes to both!! or, well, MC and a very close side character do Kit wears a metaphorical mask. He was raised to be perfect. no flaws, no questions, no urdening others with his needs. The mask of the Good Catholic™️ Adonai wears a literal mask, a ram's skull!! #LGBTQWriteAThon

#LGBTQWriteAThon October 6: Does your MC wear a mask? Real or metaphorical @rebeccafrostwrites.com #queerwriters #writingcommunity #lgbtqwriters

help the nerds (my close friends) got to me (got me invested in mtg) 😭

i do 🥰🥰 on a real note, tho, the biggest cause of anxiety in DESECRATE is Catholicism. it's the backdrop of the story, and Kit trying to figure out what he believes is core to that. Leaving a religion is never easy, especially one that imparts such helpful gifts as Guilt and Shame #LGBTQWriteAThon

This week was An Experience™️ to say the least! I got a good bit of writing done but it was also a week of vet visits, work shenaniganery, and completely overhauling more than one story's POV I would say all in all successful, though, bevause at least one (1) new word was written! #LGBTQWriteAThon
