#about necromantics

I keep being tempted to write a newsletter (despite the fact that I have no solid updates to provide at this time) and I think it's because I want to be able to ramble a little about my WIPs even though all of them are still very much Works In Progress™

But lo! I have a tumblr

I've been jumping around WIPs a lot, but one in particular has finally been capturing my attention enough that I've made headway into a word count. I crossed 25K in this one, which feels like real progress, even though my outline indicates that there are a whole lot of words left to go. Based on where I am in the outline right now, I'm guessing this is going to come in at around ~80K for the final draft, so it'll be a while yet. Mind you, I only had 10K at the beginning of March and April is gearing up to possibly be my best writing month so far this year. This one is codenamed 'Necromantics', it's a horror romance about necromancy and bad decisions, and thanks to @ghostpoetics it has a better placeholder title for the time being.

Other WIPs holding my attention right now include a cult horror monster romance, a Frankenstein-ish also cult horror romance, a book about a poly triad on a bucket list road trip (that I categorically cannot call a romance), a book about lost things (???), and an urban fantasy paranormal romance-ish book. That last one is going to be my project for the Wet Hot Queer Summer Jam event hosted by @wolfehorror!

I'm really leaning into the horror romance these days

Otherwise, I have a few shorter projects lined up for writing and/or publication, and it's been so hard to keep my attention focused on any one thing
