Evan Pettway

Writer of glitter zombies, cosmic heartbreak, & sentient vans:
Novelist. Pitch gremlin. Genre anarchist.
If it’s weird and cinematic, I probably wrote it.

Zombieland meets The Last of Us.

Glitter and government cover-ups baby.

This is DEAD S.H.U.G.A.R.
These are the broken people trying to save what’s left.

@nahuelhilal It's a beautiful thing but like how you guys given so much to where you can get a brand new fancy car like that like that's fucking insane Like we should be able to get the same benefits that you get

[Evan Pettway @EvansAdaptation]

@JacksCasket @Shudder Judging the quality of a film based on that is absurd. Sure.

[Evan Pettway @EvansAdaptation]

@Shudder The acting was outstanding. even in mainstream Hollywood films a lot of times it's not realistic. This was fucking real. From the sounds of the facial expression. Damn good shit. Definitely made me want to know his tf he got there in the first place and what made him throwup

[Evan Pettway @EvansAdaptation]

Writing humbled the hell out of me.
Thought I’d “just write a book” — HA.

Every word, every paragraph, every chapter matters. One slip and the whole thing collapses.
And somehow this chaotic, toxic art form has me in a chokehold.

[Evan Pettway @EvansAdaptation]

Learning to write is realizing that sometimes you need to swallow your pride, put down that "experimental narrative structure," and go practice writing a sentence that doesn't sound like it was translated through Google Translate twice.

Otherwise you're just spinning your wheels in increasingly pretentious circles. 🎡

[Evan Pettway @EvansAdaptation]

@TommyDeanWriter Are you open to horror comedy novels?

[Evan Pettway @EvansAdaptation]

@spitfire1234566 @Sigma_Ape @RogerOlson13 @SumitHansd You only say it's a great analogy because you are incompetent and are incapable of actually comprehending how to read statistics correctly.

[Evan Pettway @EvansAdaptation]

Incorrect. In fact, FBI has released statistics and studies that show every year black people are over 60% of all exonerations in America. Black people do not commit 50% of crime. Black people are arrested 50% of the time for crimes, but the majority of them are released because they were actually innocent, which shows white people actually commit more crime. Please learn how to read statistics.

[Evan Pettway @EvansAdaptation]

@SIR_REALNIGGA @LaSp1cy @SumitHansd @grok You realize white people are more likely to do more heinous acts than black people.

[Evan Pettway @EvansAdaptation]

@renteria2532 @SumitHansd Incorrect, we are 50% of all arrests of crime, but yet the FBI has released a study that shows that we are over 60% of all exonerations, meaning black people are arrested innocently, more so than any race. Therefore, we do not commit most of the crime whites do.

@REstepLit As a writer, sometimes we can take things to heart. But it doesn't excuse coming at somebody's sideways. You have to stay professional. And understand, just because your work doesn't resonate with one agent doesn't mean it won't resonate with another one.

[Evan Pettway @EvansAdaptation]

Me: 😊✨

Also me: writes about someone's face getting literally rearranged.

Chapter 42 down, 43 next up!

@Cowboy19871 @kaitlynnashleyS This guy ☝️🤣

[Evan Pettway @EvansAdaptation]

Been MIA because I'm deep in Dead S.H.U.G.A.R. revisions! Got a VERY respectable agent interested. But she wants some tweaks first. 🤞 Agency name stays secret until it's official... but if you REALLY want to know, it rhymes with 'Car-Wrex-Fee Agency' 😂

What do you guys listen to when you write or read??

@JillRobiFangirl @stevemoth Naw, I be holdin' them hostage sometimes. 😭

The usual: "No pressure when ever you get time, just lemme know what ya think. "

[Evan Pettway @EvansAdaptation]

Me: Writing calms me.

Also me: editing the same sentence for the 9th time like I’m defusing a bomb in a hostage situation.

3rd full edit in-progress! This time full developmental edit. Wish me luck... And sleep... 🙏

[Evan Pettway @EvansAdaptation]

Finally got my new writing setup together after a short delay (caused by: writing, spiraling, and emotionally preparing to be perceived by literary agents). Behold the throne where chaos is typed!!!!
