Romantasy is too speedy for me. I need SLOWMANTASY. Similar to romantasy but there's no kissing until at least 4 books in.

This gets all the happy emojis because getting it down from 160,000 without losing content meant going through condensing line by line 🌈🎉🎊
Proofread, back to my betas (❤️🧡💚💙💜) and then querying resumes!

Sitting DVPit out this year (had fun with #DVParty tho!)
I want characters representing me and mine; for whom ND is not their whole personality or storyline, but at the same time the impact is deeper than a few quirks. I feel like I achieved this with Tharron.

Things that can go:
✅️ geographical rational behind Midra's weather patterns
✅️ minor characters backstories
✅️ half the words in any action sequence
Things I will not part with:
❌️ Robin, Ethan and Aubrei arguing about whether slowworms count as snakes.

Using a hair dryer to keep the kids' teddies fluffy is the most useful life hack the internet taught me.

Horses are so useful in fantasy writing for the whole "show don't tell" aspect. How people treat animals tells you all about their character, especially if they think nobody is watching.

Haha all the cat research that's like; "cats don't love you, its just because you feed, cuddle, and are nice to them!"
On a side note the cat who doesn't love me brought me another live bird. I guess #WaspholeBandit thinks I prefer them that way since I spent so long with his last present.

I just love how much you can communicate through food in a story! Having survived starvation, food occupies so much of Robin's headspace that if there is any around, it always has at least half his attention, no matter what else is going on. 🍖🥖🍏

I stepped out the room for 30 seconds! Bandit doesn't even try to eat noodles, he just shoves his furry face in them and smooshes them around.
