Eleanor talking to Chidi:

"What if it was like a time loop but it only restarted when she got m*rdered? And she was like, falling in love with the hot guy helping her but he couldn't remember her?"

"You mean Happy Death Day or Eternal Sunshine?"

"No! You're not getting it and my thing is different, so shut up."

Venn diagram with three circles:

Top circle - The Bookmaker of Pellmell (my book!)
Left circle - Batman
Right circle - Helena Bonham Carter

Top-left overlap - love/hate vibes for their city
Top-right overlap - Fight Club
Left-right overlap - wears a lot of black
Center overlap - can’t resist a dark FMC

One of the clearest pitches I’ve come up with, tbh 🀣 Just sprinkle on a little dystopian fairy dust and a pinch of grounded magic, and we’re set!

Pedro Pascal for Vanity Fair, facing the camera with arms crossed. Over his torso reads, "me, trying to write a super awesome plot about a serial k*ller, a time loop, and a woman trapped," but in the mirror behind him is a distractingly nice ass, with the words "the romantic subplot" over it.

Tropes: time loop, violence isn't the answer...or is it, how far would you go to save the ones you love, bittersweet romance.

Ocher's killer has trapped her in a time loop and only partnering with a handsome detective can free her. The problem with that is they're falling in love, but he can't remember her from loop to loop. #questpit #a #t #Q

It always surprises me when people say this. I have a chapbook including mine and my late father's poems which I pubbed on 'zon so family could have it. I literally never promote it, yet it sells at least a couple copies a month. Every month for 6 years. Easily my best seller lol

Blue ice cream from Smurf Island at Carowinds, an amusement park now owned by Paramount (fun fact, it was in R3!). I think it was pistachio but I'll never know because Smurf Island no longer exists 😭

the pitch: in 1977, ash st. jude drowned. he was dead for two minutes, until a whale-shaped ocean god saved his life. it's 1988 now, and for the past eleven years, he's heard its constant chanting in the back of his back. Its blessing allows him a glimpse into the future, where the ocean has flooded the world. only he and the girl with the golden eyes, who he's only ever met in his dreams, will survive.

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean β€˜engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🀍
