Omg the mood board?! I am so pumped

Ahh I am so excited! What a great start to the new year!!!

This is probably a good idea 😂

So far its mega depressing which is exactly what I'm going for haha

884! Barely started on this next scene. I might have to sneak back after I check in at work...

Both! It's an emotional conversation and I'm not 100% sure where its going to go

I've been thinking about this next chapter for a while now too 👀

740 words and onto the next chapter! Might need to reheat my coffee

Back with my adult fantasy this morning! Continuing from where I left off with last nights sprint

I usually find bits and pieces of cut scenes end up sprinkled somewhere else. But sometimes I cut and combine entire characters sooo who knows

I write with speed but it takes a lot more drafts haha. And yep! All my drafts are saved separately from each other.

I added 2133 words! More than I thought I would get. Not sure if this chapter will even stay in later drafts but I'm closer to where I wanted to end up in this section!

I have an adult fantasy!

“I have someone that wants to meet you.”

I guessed right! Thank you @madelynknecht.bsky.social for participating! Always fun to join #10Queries and I’m excited for RevPit

A woman. A gas mask. A man in a suit. A 1920s style woman. A street. Sun.

Mood board/Agent's guide for my novel CARGO - a queer SF/heist/romance - 110,000 words "Did you hear? There's a human on board." A graphic of the wall of a spaceship with sticky notes and polaroid photos taped up. There are twinkle lights hanging from the ceiling. alien ship's cook (fussy, anxious) + terrifying monster (ordinary human)

PITCH: Tai’s terrified of humans. Everyone is. Violent pack hunters, humans are notorious for their strength, sharp teeth, and carnivorous appetites. But the ship’s cook is safe among the multispecies crew of the cargo hauler Coreward Baker: everyone knows the warrior species rarely leave their own space. Then Captain Raz hires Clarke, a human horticulturist. Even after Tai overcomes their fear, they can’t stand Clarke. She’s bossy. Annoying. Useless in the galley, bad in a space suit. She might as well be cargo. Worse, she’s intent on befriending Tai—and why can’t they stop thinking about her, anyway? That’s when things go wrong. As Tai starts to realize their feelings for Clarke, they’re horrified to learn that nobody on their crew of dropouts and runaways is quite who they seem, least of all Clarke. And it’s no coincidence. Raz reveals they’ve each been handpicked for a heist he’s spent years planning—and no one’s allowed to say no. PRIORITIES: make dinner remain cozy haul cargo go for drinks pull off one last score try not to fall in love

FIRST PAGE: “Did you hear? There’s a Human on board.” I choked on my noodles and turned to stare at the diners at the next table. Like most of the restaurant’s patrons, the pair had hidden their profiles, a halfhearted attempt at anonymity. “Gross,” the speaker’s crewmate said, oblivious to my alarm. “I hope it leaves soon.” “Don’t let it hear you say that,” the first worker laughed. She made a show of looking for Humans, her eyes darting from table to table. It. I frowned. I knew the workers’ language distinguished between people and things, and ‘it’ was an unkind choice of words at best. The second worker shuddered. “I don’t know why we let themcome here.” The first laughed. “Are you going to stop them?”

F/NB WAYFARERS x MURDERBOT x SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN

Everything fell apart when the human came aboard. Instead of nice meals and quiet cargo runs, Tai's stuck with bickering crewmates, sinister criminals, explosions, and worse, a human who wants to be friends. #SFPit #A #Q #R #SO #OV #LGBT

Two astronauts float above the surface of a moon, looking up at a massive black and red eye-shaped swirl in the stars. Text at the bottom reads: “If Jack knew the deal Elias had made with the Devil, would he still insist they play house in Hell?”

ANNIHILATION x BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN

A prisoner. A scientist.

Two exiles condemned to a lunar hellscape that holds back the darkness between stars.

In isolation, they find solace in each other— until they awaken something that should have stayed sleeping.

Made from non-AI free stock images. This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections: 1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads: "How much would you pay to die with a smile?" The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background. 2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word. 3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom, in smaller capital letters, it says: "A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM"

BLACK MIRROR × SEVERANCE × THE GOOD PLACE

Having a happy death is a luxury service for the rich and Wren is the rising top salesman—until a cynical coworker and a depressed billionaire force him to rethink it all in a world where even your last smile has a price tag.

ARCANE x GIDEON

A convict and a scientist descend into a toxic chasm to save their city. The mushrooms bite. The chill brings hallucinations. The deeper they go, the less human they stay...and the more the dark begins to whisper their names.
