When you've been raised to slaughter men for power on a matriarchal island, feelings like this aren't just problematic...

They're a death sentence.

Tell me you're almost 40 without telling me.

I threw my back out sneezing this morning.

But if you’re a little bit mad, and you’re in love with the story that won’t stop beating, then the query trenches aren’t so rough. Depends on who’s holding your hand.

I’ve got all my monsters, lovers, and a coven of query-trench besties beside me.

On the Wile, women earn power through bloodshed. Ripley’s first kill should prove her worth among her sisters, until her sickle falters over a man who refuses to beg. Bound by dark magic and forbidden desire, they risk awakening a fate worse than death. 🖤🥀☠️❤️‍🔥

Submitted queries this morning to the agents who liked my DVPit post over on 🦋.

And in those *I've already consumed way too much caffeine at this ungodly hour* moments, it was confirmed.

I am not entirely dead inside.

A pulse flickers in the trenches ✨️

Not posting a moodboard yesterday for DVPit went against my nature as a steadfast Canva time-waster. 🤣

The pitch that earned ✨️3✨️ agent likes yesterday! 🤍

So excited to put together these query submissions. (She types full of apprehension, excitement and self-doubt.)

On the Wile, women draw power from the blood of sacrificed men. Ripley’s first kill should grant her unstoppable magic, but her sickle falters over a prince she cannot strike, and the desire it sparks may be deadlier than the rituals themselves. 🩸✨❤️‍🔥🌙

A town with missing memories.
A snowstorm that never happened.
A dark figure playing a fatal game behind the scenes.

And a dead girl walking with the answers. The only problem? She doesn't remember them & she has 30 days to figure it out before she dies again.
