Reading a queer haunted house horror book while alone at night — When these scraping sounds start, low at first, then getting louder…. where—is—that—noise—coming—from? Oh…it’s a cooking video accidentally playing on my phone. My fn pulse. For a horror writer, I scare easily.

Simone is haunted & hexed~and this is a scene where she realizes she's putting her cursed love in danger. ~Not that this keeps her away from Jadriel~ #CRPCabinRaids #CampRevPit #CRPNightcrawlers "I want to know all the things you're scared to say...."

Image of the MC Simone and her forbidden love, Jadriel. TEXT: “I want to know all the things you’re scared to say.” My heart constricts. Stomach turning tight when he leans closer. Words faltering. I’m totally flustered and flooded with panic. I’m still so in love with this boy. I have to pull back from him, and oh, he pays attention to my every move and mood and leans away too. Like he’s worried he’s invading my space. I hate it. I hate you, Gran. Launching myself up onto my knees, I can’t keep lying side by side with him. I have to keep him safe—from me. It was never Jadriel who was the threat. So, Gran made me become a danger to him. Her curse on him is far worse than a burn. HAUNTED AND HEXED. TOUCH HIM AND BURN. KISS HER AND DIE.

Simone: “I know better, but…” & “I can keep him safe—from me” She’s cursed to kill him, but only *if* she kisses him again. & Oh, she can keep her vengeful cousin’s spirit from going malevolent. Again. #CampRevPit #CharacterFlaw #CRPNightcrawlers

Happy Saturday, #CampRevPit! 🏕️ Who doesn't love a beautifully imperfect character? Tell us more about your #CharacterFlaw. What is your MC’s biggest flaw, and how does it derail them?

On a grassy green hill beneath a starry night sky, the firefly clings to a branch and dangles a tied stack of story notes from a stick with the label “Darlings” written on the top page. The caterpillar reaches for the tied bundle of notes with mouth wide open, ready to chow down. Behind the tree, which still has bite marks from the caterpillar’s previous meal, the mantis holds her claws to her face in dismay. Dawn is beginning to tint the horizon red. The image has the text: Day 6: #CharacterFlaw

"I never claimed to be innocent." "Me neither, kid." Nina says with a wicked grin like she's amused by my admission. We confess our sins with smiles.... A snippet of a conversation between Simone & Cousin Nina (also known as The East River Wraith) #CRPNightcrawlers #camprevpit #dialoguedrop

Image of two girls, one is a ghost, against a backdrop of water. Dialogue: "I never claimed to be innocent." "Me neither, kid." Nina says with a wicked grin like she's amused by my admission. She always did like me better when I was being bad too. We confess our sins with smiles. (Simone & Cousin Nina (also known as The East River Wraith) in The Truth of Fear. A YA Feminist Horror Novel.

Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️ Today's prompt is #DialogueDrop. Share a snippet of dialogue that captures the essence of your story or MC, or maybe just a bit that makes you laugh.

A well-fed green caterpillar sits on a little hill to the right of the screen, eating a pile of pages labeled with the words “story notes.” On the left, a Camp RevPit flag waves at the end of a flagpole. There is a blue sky with fluffy white clouds in the background. The following text is on the picture: Day 5: #DialogueDrop

One should never summon the dead They can always find you Follow you Attach themselves to you *I know better but I have to ensure Nina isn’t stuck here haunted by a watery grave ~I call upon her & only her~ So I don't unintentionally bring back something else #CampRevPit #CRPNightcrawlers #OneLineMC

One should never summon the dead. They can always find you. Follow you. Attach themselves to you. *I know better* but I have to make sure Nina isn’t stuck here, haunted by this watery grave. So, I call upon her—and only her. If I’m not specific I can unintentionally bring back something else. This is why I’ve been forbidden from conjuring spirits...

Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️Let's start the day with your main character! Use #OneLineMC and share a line from your manuscript that tells us all we need to know about your MC’s personality.

On a grassy green hill, a bright green praying mantis, a black and orange firefly, and a small green caterpillar examine the mantis’s very tall pile of story notes. The firefly is measuring the stack of paper with a tape measure while the caterpillar looks concerned. The stack of pages is waist-high to the mantis. A Campy RevPit flag flies from the top of a nearby flagpole. There is a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds in the background. The text above them reads, #OneLineMC

Nina has returned as a vengeful ghost, The East River Wraith, in her defense she only drowns those who deserve it. AND yeah she’s overprotective of her younger cousin Simone & is threatening to end her boy’s life—but she just wants to keep Simone safe. #CampRevPit #VillainVoices #crpnightcrawlers

Good morning, #CampRevPit! 🏕️ Today, we give your villains a moment in the spotlight. What would they say your story is about? Pitch it from your villain's perspective. #VillainVoices

On a grassy green hill beneath a starry night sky, the caterpillar nibbles on a tree while the mantis and the firefly work on their stories. The mantis lays in the grass writing in her journal with a fountain pen and her very tall stack of papers beside her. The firefly sits in the branches of the tree with a laptop. The firefly’s butt is glowing brightly so the mantis can see to write. Day 4: #Villain Voices
