Hi #WritingCommmunity I’m Carolina, a Colombian horror author. My horror debut BOCHICA is coming out summer 2025. This book is an ode to my love of history, horror, and @StephenKing . It’s also about love and the unbreakable bonds that tie us together in life, death and beyond.

Because this blew up I do wanna say this did *not* happen overnight. BOCHICA was not the first book I ever wrote, it wasn’t even the book my agent signed me for. There was a LOT of hard work and persistence behind this. Stubbornness even. Luck and timing also played a huge part.

What’s something you want to write that you haven’t tried yet? Be as vague or as specific as you want. (It’s about dreaming, not giving up your ideas.) A few of mine: -a super tropey adult contemporary romance -an opera retelling -something that comps to Stardew Valley

One of the questions I’ve gotten the most since BOCHICA’s announcement went live is whether the setting is real or not. And dear reader, it very much is. Welcome to El Hotel Del Salto and the waterfall it overlooks, El Salto Del Tequendama.

Diving back into this project for the whole month of October. It’s set in the 30s in Colombia in a luxurious hotel that overlooks El Salto del Tequendama—one of Colombia’s most beautiful and certainly haunted places. It’s my love letter to The Shining and room 217. #amwriting

Made this for my YA Historical set in Colombia 1815. The MC is based off of the Colombian heroine Policarpa Salavarrieta. It’s a story about spies and in the midst of a revolution, secrets, friendship, vengeance & loss w/ all the telenovela feels. #amwriting #FinishUrBookFall

Dante was attacked by an unleashed, unmuzzled guard dog today. It was one of the scariest moments of my life; I couldn’t get the dog off Dante’s neck. Luckily, because of how thick his coat is, he was uninjured and he is now as happy as ever. 💛

I’d *love* to write a YA horror set in Cartagena inside the Castillo de San Felipe, somewhere in the 20th Century but I don’t think I’m ready yet. Seriously, there has to be some cool & terrifying story hidden inside a 483 year-old fortress, right? #amwriting #WritingCommuntiy

My [18f] breakup went viral turning me famous overnight, so I must choose: my life under strict Catholic rules, or a dating show—where 10 men, incl ex bf [18m] and celeb crush [19m], will fight for my love. AITA?

So, I had this dream yesterday that I got a *very* important email. I -of course- woke up in the middle of the night to check my inbox, and nope, nothing. But guess what? I JUST GOT THE EMAIL. JUST NOW. 1 MIN AGO.

After much consideration, the YA RomCom has a prologue, and this is how it opens!! I... like it! And I'm proud! Also, sayings sound way better in Spanish. ALWAYS.🤩 #FinishUrBookFall #amwriting

Do you know that feeling you get when you have to read through a book you wrote a while back and you haven’t seen in MONTHS, but you now have to? It’s a combination of “WHO WROTE THIS HOT MESS?”, and “OH, IT’S ACTUALLY NOT THAT BAD?!” 🤯🙃🤩🤔 #amwriting #WritingCommunity

After working on this project for over a year, I finally found the perfect title for it. Who would’ve thought that it would take one of the most traumatic weeks of my life to come up with the perfect title? Well, it’s horror so I guess it makes sense? 👀 #amwriting #horror
