Hot damn, if I hadn't already turned in my story for this year's Great Lakes Fiction Writers anthology, I might be trying a Law & Order "ripped from the headlines" angle 😂😂😂

I was absolutely delighted by this newsletter - to learn there is a name for something I do all the time in my writing, to understand better why it works, is so helpful.

You know how movies will have a montage of a couple going to the farmer's market, walking on the beach, etc.? A lot of romance novel writing is figuring out what the heck they're talking about through all of that. 🥰

Oh man, I use Pacemaker, but I didn't know it could do THIS.
Pacemaker is where I nail down the REAL schedule. Where I decide: is this book a weekend book or a weekday book?
I can shift between projects in a day, but I prefer having designated days for each project, it makes me brain happy. And Pacemaker is Queen of Doing That and More.

I write erotic books! People constantly call them soft porn. Or sometimes not-so-soft porn. LOL
They are plenty deep, and their purpose is many-layered! But even if that wasn't true, we do not through sexual content under the bus!
The people trying to ban books think all romance is porn!

Romance NEEDS to have a good plot. I suspect that people who think romance lacks such conflate romance with soft porn novels, which aren't generally known for being particularly deep, given that their purpose is tintillation, not experiencialism.
btw just a gentle announcement in general, especially for folks dipping their toes into romance.
I know this *feels* like a compliment to a lot of people, but it's pretty much a "pistols at dawn" level insult

Did a little math, and I added 19,966 words to the second draft of my big WIP in November! Not quite NaNo level, and maybe a little less far than I wanted to be at this time, but I'll take it! #AmWriting #WriterSky

Hello.
If you are a historical romance reader, who are your favs outside of the big names?
I am working on a Christmas present for myself (the best kind).
I need some historical dopamine in the lineup this January.

Not to reopen a discourse, but I'm watching Twisters again. When people talked about the no-kiss-situation, I think we didn't talk enough about how she really seemed to love that guy she was with at the beginning, and how terrifying that whole opening sequence was.

A good reminder!
Been seeing a bunch of "aspiring writer" recently. You want to be a writer? *POOF* you're a writer. That's it. Write some stuff. You are a writer. Now, if you want to be a published writer, well there are so many ways for that, too. Figure out your ACTUAL goal. Then go for it. But you're a writer.

All these winter transaction updates for baseball teams, players moving, coaches hired, and I wish my brain would stop seeing a story premise in every single goddamn one of them because I already have too many things to finish

Baseball teams acquiring players with iffy stats is relatable to every woman who has ever looked at a man and whispered “I can fix him.”

This point about horror and romance is so true. It is such a skill to write something that reaches beyond the page and makes readers feel.

Sarah's description of the upcoming Lorraine Heath made me laugh because I accidentally confessed to a bunch of fellow writers this weekend that I am absolutely garbage for any version of desert island/feral boy/lost in the wilderness romances 😅
Like many people, we don't know what to say this week, and whatever we might have said probably wouldn't have been very eloquent, so we've decided to talk about something we know about: Comfort reading and the way romance provides us solace, peace and hope.
