Here’s a quote from my next book, Twisting Fates, to give you the vibe of the two love interests ❤️

Ben muttered a curse under his breath and rubbed his chin. “You are just as stubborn as I remember.”
“And I’m starting to remember why you pissed me off so much.” She spat back.

Starting the week with coffee, a messy draft, and big goals. ☕✍️

Writers, what’s one thing you want to make progress on this week?

Author Elizabeth C. Cabrera @authoreccabrera.bsky.social · 5d

Sometimes I forget how far I’ve come as a writer — until I look back at old drafts and realize how much heart it took to keep going.
If you’re writing today, keep going. Your story matters. 💙

Fake dating, friends-to-lovers, and two writers caught between fiction and reality.
If you love stories that make your heart ache in the best way, this one’s for you. 💕

#BookSky - If you could step into any fictional world for a day, which would you choose?

(And yes, “inside my favorite romance novel” is a valid answer 😌)

Author Elizabeth C. Cabrera @authoreccabrera.bsky.social · 6d

I think every author has that *one scene* they secretly reread just to smile at their own chaos.

Mine involves a kiss and a thunderstorm. 🌩️💋

Do you ever reread a line in a romance novel just to feel it again?
Yeah. Me too.

Author Elizabeth C. Cabrera @authoreccabrera.bsky.social · 8d

Current writing vibe: soft music, warm mug, rain outside, and fictional characters who refuse to behave. 🌧️
What’s your ideal cozy reading setup?

Writing update: I hit that phase where every sentence feels like wrestling a dragon, but the story is *so close* to clicking.

It’s messy. It’s magical. It’s mine. 🖋️

My upcoming book Twisting Fates is full of longing, banter, and that one dramatic moment where they admit how much they’ve wanted each other.

The kind of scene that makes you whisper “finally” into the pages. 🥹

Author Elizabeth C. Cabrera @authoreccabrera.bsky.social · 10d

Which romance trope would you choose?

A- Office romance
B- Rivals-to-lovers
C- Forced proximity

or… D) All of the above 👏

Asking for… reasons that may have to do with an upcoming book 👀

Some nights, I stare at my manuscript and think: “Who let me fall in love with fictional people again?” 💀
(And by “some nights,” I mean every night.)
