Fuck All Romance Except For Whatever The Fuck That Tiny Autistic Scientist And Slutty Alien Clone Had

Stupid clichés I can’t get enough of

The sarcastic character who’s kind of an asshole but is really just traumatized and doesn’t know how to show his feelings for a fear of being seen as vulnerable 

The golden child who has to live up to his father’s unreasonable expectations and is this close to absolutely falling apart 

The two rivals who pretend to hate each other but really care extremely deeply, and don’t know how to show it besides “fuck you.” 

The badass girl who is tired of everyone’s shit and is just a. Goddamn survivor.

That one character who is everyone is a little scared of because they make jokes about murder and no one can quite tell if they mean it or not.

Childhood friends who haven’t see each other in a while then meet up and see how much or little they’ve changed, and as soon as they meet up they say inside jokes.

 When the cocky Dudebro who seems to have a god complex but actually is drowning in self doubt.

When the quiet, comforting character starts yelling and putting people in their place.

That one character that every once in a while just goes batshit crazy, like breaking windows and setting things on fire.

When the character you’d least expect it loves animals/babies. 

FOUND FAMILY

The girl gang that commits crimes together. 

Redemption arc from the character you’d least expect.

My book comes out in September, and I need your help.

Hello writing (and reading) community! So here’s the thing. I am about to drop my debut novel, which is pretty exciting. But I can’t do it on my own. As someone who didn’t go the traditional route, I need all the help I can get to spread the word as soon as possible- and in the end, you’ll be doing more good than you think, as initial profits will help a child struggling with leukemia (no reviews required- but are always appreciated!). Because finding a new book and kicking cancer’s butt are both cool. Right? Right.

Some basic info:

Title: Maple Street

Genre: MG Fantasy

Word count: 42,590

Blurb:

There is a street where Halloween lives every day, whose residents are as magical as the place itself. This street is called Maple, and is home to some of the most famous staples of the holiday we’ve come to know and love. But over the years, stories of these creatures have been skewed.

As it turns out, witches aren’t warty old women (for two-thirds of the day), and werewolves don’t need the full moon to go hunting. Vampires hoard their antique treasures worse than any dragon, and mummies see more than most when they walk the woods at night. Someone has to take these stories to the world of humans.

That is why they’ve hired a human to help them set the record straight.

But there is a slight catch: the storyteller is a grown-up. Once written, all that’s said will fade from its author’s mind, and there will be nothing left but the memory passed on by its reader. It is up to you, dear reader, to bear this weight. And who knows? You may find friends waiting for you.

You might like it if you:

Love to get spoopy, but could do without the nightmare fuel

Are on the lookout for an easy read/want to support a new author

Want to see Frankenstein’s Monster do more than grunt/groan

Enjoy an interactive story where the author addresses the reader

Need a light read before your actual favorite book drops

Teaser:

So if you’re interested in a light read just in time for Halloween, or know someone who may, I would be forever grateful if you passed this along and helped me get some traction. Seriously, you’d be my new favorite person. Still need some convincing? Check out my book page and third-draft snippets for more!

i kinda really wish there were more posts about how to write more that wasnt “just write!!!!! sit down and write 10 words :)” because whilst that is good advice it doesnt help with struggling to write because of mental illness/being neurodivergent but the problem is there is literally no clear solution to that lmao 

My gay ass is painting Penny Gaywood- I MEAN HAYWOOD

What do you mean I have to "write" my "story"??? Is it not enough to have elaborate conversations between my characters in my head, stupid and plot irrelevant?

I can’t believe that the Citizens of Pawnee are actually real.
