I wrote 1100 words today and it was like yes! Iβm motivated! I remember how to write!
However, I am equally scared I will wake up tomorrow and forget how to write.π¬π

I came to a realization this morning that when we talk about unlikeable female characters, she is basically just a woman who has strong opinions and so therefore she is deemed unlikeable because of the patriarchy π§

Finished my 2nd read of the year, and WOW π³ Sophie White does not hold back in this and it unsettled me to my core. It is incredibly dark, raw, and her prose is so beautifully juxtaposed with the horrors presented. A difficult read at times, so proceed with caution, but I LOVED this book!ππ

Book cover: Feral and Hysterical: Mother Horror's Ultimate Guide to Reading Dark and Disturbing Fiction by Women. The artwork is of a woman in a ball gown holding a candlestick with flame. Her hair is caught up by the wind, the title is in the darkness of the night above her swirling hair. The estate behind her is on fire. There is a border of twisting vines all around the art

A publishers marketplace report reading:
Category: Childen's: Young Adult Fiction
Of Auras and Shadows by Taylor Grothe
Imprint: Peachtree Teen
Author of forthcoming HOLLOW Taylor Grothe's OF AURAS AND SHADOWS, a queer YA fantasy, pitched as combining the romance of A Dark and Drowning Tide with the horror of The Witcher, in which a girl, who suffers from migraines, falls through one of her auras and into the autumnal, wraith-filled Otherworld, where she meets a sharp-edged girl who is being ritualistically used by the ruling secular cult that promised to cure her, and vows to save the girl she's growing to love, even if it means becoming a pawn in the cult's plans for war, to Ashley Hearn at Peachtree Teen, for publication in fall 2026, by Larissa Melo Pienkowski at Jill Grinberg Literary Management (world).
SURPRISE! I get to write another book with the phenomenal Ashley Hearn at Peachtree Teen!!!!
I'm so excited to share this horromantasy with you NEXT FALL (ahhhh!!!)
What if my migraine auras were actually magic? What if the lymphatic system held the power to change reality? π letβs find out!!

The cover of GIRL IN THE CREEK is mostly black water with green lily pads and a dark-haired girl floating in it. Gray fungi sprouts from the girl's torso. The title is written in vivid yellow text that is evocative of handwriting.
Here's the cover of my upcoming horror novel GIRL IN THE CREEK, about a true crime writer's discovery of a dead body who refuses to stay dead.
Twin Peaks meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers, coming June 2024 from Tor Nightfire!

Almost all plots provide hope. So I appreciate the ones that donβt all the more. The ability to write/read such things & carry on is itself an act of hope.
