I got my copyedits for my debut novel and for this (almost) final pass I’m listening to it with Word’s voice feature and I have CAUGHT SO MANY TYPOS 🙃 it’s so helpful, 10/10 would recommend 🫡

“I have personally explained the process to you Debra” lives rent free in my mind.
those who are new to Romancelandia may not know the golden rule:
live your life so Nora Roberts *never* feels compelled to blog about you
live your life so Nora Roberts *never* feels compelled to blog about you
And Nora continues to hold a grudge and shit talk them to this day which is so real of her honestly 😂

every single time I watch a book review of a fantasy book, I end up wanting ~desperately~ to write one of my fantasy stories 🥲 (don’t worry I’m not. this too shall pass 🫣)

In case you were wondering what Second Book Syndrome is...
![Recipe for Second Book Syndrome
- 1 part Intense Awareness of Market & Audience
- 1 part I Leveled Up in Understanding of [Craft/Plot/My Process] But Now I’m Hyper-focused on That as I Draft and It’s Bogging Me Down
- 5,000,000 parts Imposter Syndrome (aka “What if I Only Had 1 Good Book in Me?”)
- 1 part Fractured Attention (AKA juggling edits, WIPs, and debut year tasks)
- 1 part Cognitive Dissonance that I Sold the First Book to Begin With (endless internal squee)
Mix all of these into a horrifying slurry and flood your cranial cavity so your brain is entirely encased. Enjoy!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lx2uq5xijzoto2kp5p3wclf2/bafkreict5dmb57lefrgcchooupljt4bdfdistn563wlisgijsxkfuy5o3y@jpeg)

Someone just asked me for writing tips, and my gut level response was "all writing advice is fake, just read books you like and write as much as you can and eventually something will be good" but then I thought about it and I had some actual advice!
1. Read! Your work! Out loud!
