Dude I am clocked in to the locked in factory with this new draft #bvm #helpingWIP

Yes, I text in all caps. But not in a boomer-ish way. I’m literally always screaming. And I want my texting to reflect that.

REPOST BECAUSE TYPOS. I am the queen of fast-typing and no proofreading

❤️WIP❤️After months of social exile, Noah receives an invite to a wellness retreat with the friends who ghosted her. Once there, she faces more than strained friendships because hidden beneath the sand, a monster waits. One that can’t let any of the woman leave the desert alive.

Heading to a writers retreat this weekend which is a fancy way of saying I found the cheapest air bnb 3 hours from my house and I’m going to sit in it bleeding income until my book is done #booksky

So many new followers! 👋🏽👋🏽
I’m Savannah, I write atmospheric social horror in weird places with monstrous female leads. I’m currently working on a haunted house story about evil women, friendship, and revenge #bvm #horror

Haven’t been here in a bit. What’s the vibe?

don’t mind me I’m just making mood boards and editing my WIP and working a full-time job and I’m FINE

#writingcommunity #bvm #horrorbooks

what if I finish my new BLOOD WIP by Dec 31? What then?

bro these four days off work like, I’m coming back to myself like, I’m EUPHORIC like I feel like a human person and that’s terrifying that your job can melt away your sense of self that much…anyway back to the grind on Monday 🤪

the one thing I literally hate about drafting a new novel is that it isn’t sitting on my couch smashing Karlach’s “how about a kiss?” option over and over in baulders gate 3

ITS DRAFTING TIME BABEEEEE

Always good ❤️

I always feel so stupid reading a draft of my book and crying about it.

Did some querying black out poetry to remind me of the good ol’ days

Friends and family: it’s so impressive you wrote a whole book. We could never do that. You must be so smart!

Me: *googles “rules for commas” for the sixteenth time today*

Me: god what a great week to work exclusively on my line edits for my book. I’ll finish these in a heartbeat and be that much closer to achieving my dream of becoming a published author!

*One traumatized vampire calling me his little love*

Me: lol nevermind

#bvm #WritingCommunity #horror #bg3

I truly am struggling getting anything else done

Me about my novel: the prose is so tight, every word matters, how could I ever find superfluous words to cut for this draft?

Me 2 days in:
