Bump for night friends! I'm giving out free copies of my dark fantasy/horror novella Vitrified for a highly informal beta reading, zero pressure to read it in time. If you own SaY or plan to buy it, shoot me a DM in case you ever wanna read it down the line! Happy reading! ;) Or ... unhappy? 🤔

Hello everyone! So, #SavageAsYou came out one week ago! Thank you guys for your support! But the story is far from over ... On October 20th, my novella Vitrified is coming out! I'm holding an informal beta reading. See below! :] (1/3) (Cover made by me using a licensed, AI-free stock photo)

#AwesomeCharacters Dannie. Unless it was absolutely 100% necessary like Hailey got into legal trouble she wouldn't contact her mom, she'd fear her mom getting angry and possibly making things worse. Dannie is pretty much Hailey's emotional bedrock even if she barely realizes that herself.

Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters Your character has found themself in serious, possibly life threatening, trouble and they need help urgently. Who is the first person they turn to? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#SongsOfSeptember I don't really have playlists in mind! I just listen to certain genres of music or albums to match the mood of what I'm writing at the time. As for the music I've linked so far, let's say that's just a playlist for SaY in general. :]

#SongsOfSeptember Day 8 Technical Question! Do you do individual playlists for characters or couples, or do you put everything on one big playlist? Or maybe per book, if you do a series? Don't forget to tag!

#SongsOfSeptember
Day 8

Do you do individual playlists for characters or couples?

“You’re giving me, too many things, lately, you’re all I need, oh…”
(Lyrics from Simple and Clean from Kingdom Hearts by Utada Hikaru)

Name a film that you watched repeatedly as a child. House (1985). Probably saw it a few dozen times growing up. My partner and I watched it last year after me not seeing it for nearly 30 years and I could recite whole scenes still. It's burnt into my brain like classic Simpsons.

PJC Cahill@pjccahill.bsky.social · 21h ago

Name a film that you watched repeatedly as a child. I watched it 7 times in one day back to back, once. This and Terminator 2 basically forged my imagination. Yes, Portia is absolutely alien-coded in MOOD, but I based her actions on real spider biology.

#WIPSnips Well, since this morning when I wake up I'll be revealing a bit more about my novella, Vitrified, let's do another from that. In this snip Helena is sharing her thoughts on Esraidambôl a bit. And she's right on the money.

The world didn’t change. I was not suddenly in a classroom or the hospital. Nope. Same place. Faintly above I saw something, maybe a planet? It was barely the size of a marble; there were rings around it, like Ninurta. Another world, another planet? Was Esraidambôl even a planet? Where is this place, in relation to everywhere else? Thinking about it didn’t just make my head hurt, it was like mentally staring at the sun; my brain told me dwelling on it for too long might cause damage. I felt in danger of going insane for simply standing here. As if my brain is not ready for this place, not protected, the spiritual equivalent of walking into Chernobyl without a hazmat suit.

#SongsOfSeptember OK but Savage as You could work extremely well as a musical. 😆 Hailey would absolutely ensure it's super sappy and leans on the romance. Clearly, with a capital C, Hailey and Cooper would sing this at some point. Oh yeah, we bustin' out the Mandy Moore.🤣 youtu.be/JIzY0FnbJGU?...

Musical Monday!
If your story was a musical, what's one song your characters would sing?

“There! Right there! Look at that tanned, well tended skin, look at the killer shape he’s in.”
(Lyrics from There! Right there! from the Legally Blonde musical)

#AwesomeCharacters Our good pal and otherworldly chauffeur, Hailey, went to ... 🌩️ P U B L I C H I G H S C H O O L 🌩️ She definitely struggled a lot with school. Between being trans, kinda depressed, losing a knee, and possibly becoming the queen of a weird nightmare world. It takes a toll!

Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters It's back-to-school time around here, which makes me wonder: how was your character educated? Is there formal schooling where they are? Or were they trained in other ways? What was it like? Did they enjoy it? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#SongsOfSeptember The beginning of Savage as You is VERY somber. Hailey is the victim of a very poorly conceived prank, and it costs her a knee. Kinda gruesome. I always associated this song (Great Waves) or Dirty Three in general with this moment. youtu.be/G7zS1sGTSZQ?...
