Book Friends! It’s time for a writing update (if you want to see the video format of this update, head over to my TikTok @acupod_jo_hanny). Nevertheless, here I am, a girl, standing before her bookish friends, asking, Do you care? All the while brimming with excitement at the thought that someone would.
Well…in case you didn’t know, I am writing a horror-esque novel (or novelette) titled “The Devil that Haunts Me.” This spine-chilling novel will take you on a wild ride (it’s doing that to me) through a world of terror and family secrets. It will take you through the slums of the Dominican Republic to the posh neighborhoods of Boston. Are you ready?
So, let’s dive in and discover what’s been happening in Act 2 of this hair-raising story!
Okay, picture this: Isabella Ramirez, our morally gray protagonist, is about to embark on a creepy journey through her own memories and those of her daughter. It’s in Act 2 that the real heart of the story unfolds, exposing the depths of darkness and torment that Isabella has to face. And guess what? I had to rearrange all those streams of consciousness scenes like a Tetris game to make sure that every emotion and essence of the story is conveyed in a way that will keep you hooked, without judgment.
Now, let’s talk about a major milestone! I have completed Act 2, like fitting in that final puzzle piece. It’s like a satisfying “click,” you know? By skillfully arranging the scenes and chapters, I’ve created a chilling world to transport you right into Isabella’s haunting experiences. This accomplishment is a big step towards finishing the whole story and a cause for celebration! So here I go, celebrating.
And speaking of celebration, can I say how excited I am to be one step closer to sharing “The Devil that Haunts Me” with all of you? The completion of Act 2 has ignited a fire of anticipation, and I can’t wait to immerse you in this unconventional horror. Each day brings us closer to the day when we can all lose ourselves in this captivating tale together.
So, my dear book friends, prepare for a bone-chilling adventure as we follow Isabella Ramirez on her terrifying journey through a sinister alternate world, reliving memories she fought so hard to forget. I am on Easy Street with the Beast of All Acts (ACT 2) completed. Stay tuned for more updates as I shape the remaining acts and prepare to share this Dominican horror story with you. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it!
(I am considering using NetGalley to share this as an ARC to get word of mouth and allow reviewers to read it before publication.)
Remember, my bookish peeps, the darkest tales often hold the most captivating secrets. So, let’s gather our courage and prepare for an unforgettable journey with “The Devil that Haunts Me”!
Off I go to do the happy dance.
