Yes! So if you read A Soft Place to Land, come talk to me! 😅 #writinglifemonthly #queerwriters #lesfic #wlw #sapphicromance #queerauthors #sapphfic

I was about 85,000 words into my WIP when I realized two of the characters have some definite similarities to Virginia and Elaine in A Soft Place to Land, and now I'm too invested and attached to change the WIP. Better luck next time? #pretendpanel #lesfic #sapphicromance #queerwriters #wip

If I cannot find time to write, my goal is to MAKE time to write. #queerwriters #lgbtqwriters #writingcommunity #writing

A Soft Place to Land started with a single blank piece of printer paper and a calculator to figure out the timeline. 🧮 #wlw #lesfic #sapphicromance #romancenovels #queerbooksky #booksky #queerauthors #sapphicbooks #sapphfic

In my WIP (that desperately needs a title 😅), FMC Madison has vibrant purple hair. It's usually the first thing people, including Kendra here, notice about her. And because it's fiction, the color never fades, and she never has to get it touched up. 🤣 #writingcommunity #writing #wip #queerwriters

When I started considering publishing A Soft Place to Land, I learned as much about #tradpublishing, #smallpress, #indie, and #selfpublishing as I could. Would it have been nice to have a whole team of people handling everything? Sure, but it didn't seem like that was the reality for most trad books

#SapphicSeptember is upon us, and my book will help you check off a few different categories on the bingo card! A Soft Place to Land is a sweet and spicy best friends to lovers romance set in the 1950s. ☺️ #wlw #lesfic #sapphicromance #queerbooksky #queerauthors #sapphicbooks #sapphfic

In A Soft Place to Land, Elaine makes the first move -- extremely cautiously since it's 1950 and she's in love with her best friend. a.co/d/iTtGJjA #wlw #lesfic #sapphicromance #romancenovels #queerbooksky #booksky #queerauthors #sapphicbooks #sapphfic #writinglifemonthly #romanceauthors

I revised the scene I intended to (still not happy with it, but differently dissatisfied is better... I think 🤣) and I hope to draft a new scene at some point this weekend. Which scene? Idk, whichever one my brain decides to cooperate with. #queerwriters #writingcommunity #lgbtqwriters #writing

As a reader, there have been a handful that I've started and just couldn't make myself finish. As an author, probably? My approach to conflict in my novel probably leaves some readers bored, so it wouldn't surprise me if someone said, "nah, not for me." #pretendpanel #lesfic #sapphicromance #wlw

For #sapphiclineshare, a snippet from my WIP. Kendra knows it's important to establish expectations up front, and Madison is 100% on board. #wlw #lesfic #lesficfri #sapphic #sapphicfiction #sapphfic #spicy

From my current WIP--turns out, giving a woman three orgasms earns you special consideration. #wipsnips #writingcommunity #lesfic #wlw #sapphicfiction #sapphfic #wip #queerwriters #writing

Happy Monday! You can face it, or you could make the totally valid choice to lose touch with reality! #sapphicbooksky #sapphic #books #lesfic #romance #lesbian #nonbinary #lgbtq

I'm hoping to go back and revise a particular scene in my WIP. The feedback I got from my wife was... non-specific, so... wish me luck lol #queerwriters #writingcommunity #lgbtqwriters #queerauthors #writing #wip #editing

Had a dream last night that I came across several more scathing reviews that were all 100% accurate. 🥴 Seasoned authors--hey, does that ever stop? #writing #writingcommunity #queerwriters #debutnovel #sapphicromance #sapphfic #lesfic #wlw

I describe A Soft Place to Land as "sweet & spicy" - open door but cozy. My current WIP features kink play, but it's also... nice. 😅 #writinglifemonthly #writingcommunity #romancewriters #romanceauthors #queerauthors #lesfic #sapphicfiction #queerwriters

One day I will remember that bsky doesn't have an algorithm and I don't have to be strategic in what posts I like. One day...

In my currentl WIP, Madison was originally written with a friend of mine in mind. 90,000 words later, the similarities are minimal though. #wip #writingcommunity #writinglifemonthly #queerauthors #writersofbsky #sapphicfiction #sapphicromance

Literally EVERYTHING I write has women kissing in it. Because the world needs more lesbian fiction!

This past week, I was sick for the 3rd time in 6 weeks. But, I managed to get chapter 2 of my WIP to my beta reader (aka my wife) who... has not read it yet. 😒 #queerwriters #writingcommunity #sapphicfiction #lesfic #writing

My current WIP begins with the two MCs finding out they're dating the same man. And then they use tequila and sex to deal with it. 🙃 #queerprompts #wip #writingcommunity #queerwriters #queerauthors #lesfic #wlw #sapphicfiction

It's all about perspective, right? In A Soft Place to Land, Elaine tells the story of the time she glued a boy's hands together in high school. She's probably the villain in his story, but she had a good reason. A little vigilante shit 😆 #queerprompts #lesfic #wlw #queerauthors #sapphicromance

I feel like a lot of writers are saying "I don't decide, the characters do" but like... in my WIP, I (internally) yelled at Kendra and Taylor for kissing sooner than I planned. "STOP IT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOURE NOT SUPPOSED TO... 🤬..." ...While I was typing 🤣 #lesfic #queerwriters #sapphicromance

In my WIP, Kendra has a big family that she's close to, but Madison grew up with parents who overtly loved her less than her brother. She's ⚡️FINE⚡️ and doesn't have contact with them anymore. #queerprompts #queerauthors #queerwriters #writingcommunity #lesfic #wlw #sapphicfiction

#WritingLifeMonthly Open. Lesbians have either been pornified by men or turned into sexless beings by people who believe women don't like sex and come up with debunked nonsense like "lesbian bed death". Sex is part of who lesbians are and lesbians rarely get to tell it.

Here's a long-ish snippet from A Soft Place to Land of Virginia and Elaine's first kiss. It's 1950, they've just spent their last summer together before Elaine leaves for medical school, but neither are thinking about that right now. #writingcommunity #lesfic #wlw #sapphicromance #sapphfic

In A Soft Place to Land, it's insinuated that Elaine doesn't have any other friends besides Virginia. Their relationship is a risk (1950s), but Elaine is very conscious of the fact that if their relationship doesn't work out, she will have lost the woman she loves AND her only friend. #wlw #lesfic

After Kendra breaks up with the guy who cheated on her, she finds out her siblings, all six of them, thought he was a tool. #wipsnips #wip #writingcommunity #writing #writesky #booksky #queerwriters #queerauthors

In my current WIP, Kendra's hobby is creating kink gear. She's deeply protective of the people she plays with, so she prefers to make her own gear whenever possible so she can control the quality of the materials, the durability of the build, etc. #queerprompts #wlw #lesfic #queerwriters #diy

In A Soft Place to Land, Elaine was adorably, awkwardly smitten from the very first moment she saw Virginia. #writinglifemonthly #wlw #lesfic #sapphicromance #romancenovels #queerbooksky #booksky #queerauthors #sapphicbooks #sapphfic #romancewriters #queerromance #historicalromance

I stumbled across my first not so great review of A Soft Place to Land today. Half my brain is like "wow they're right" and the other half is like "well, I'd never written a book before, what do you expect??" 🤣 #writing #writingcommunity #queerwriters #queerauthors

Here's a snippet from my still-untitled WIP. Kendra got cheated on, and her ex just doesn't understand. #wipsnips #wip #writingcommunity #writing #queerwriters #queerauthors #sapphicromance #sapphfic #lesfic

Finally back with a snippet from A Soft Place to Land for #lesficfri **smell** Don't worry, it's a good smell 😜 #wlw #lesfic #sapphicromance #romancenovels #queerbooksky #booksky #queerauthors #sapphicbooks #sapphfic

#pretendpanel Yes. I write as a hobby, and I write what I would want to read. #writingcommunity #writing #authors #sapphicromance #queerauthors #queerwriters #lgbtqwriters

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 BACK-TO-BACK 🏆 #WEURO2025

I've been quiet this week--work has been rough--but I have managed to get some writing done, and I have an ✨️idea✨️ for a title for my WIP, so I feel like I'm getting somewhere. #queerwriters #writingcommunity #writing #indieauthors #lgbtqwriters

Settle on a title, at least a tentative one, for my WIP #queerwriters #writingcommunity #wip #lgbtqwriters

That was one of my favorite lines 🥰👇🏻

🥰🥰🥰

My debut novel, A Soft Place to Land, was released in May, and it has already gotten a few very sweet reviews. 🥰 a.co/d/iTtGJjA #wlw #lesfic #sapphicromance #romancenovels #queerbooksky #booksky #queerauthors #sapphicbooks #sapphfic

Depends on what "good" means, I suppose. Is it an effective motivator? Absolutely. Is it a reliable motivator? Sometimes. #queerwriterschat #queerwriters #writingcommunity #amwriting

In A Soft Place to Land, Virginia is very good at suppressing anything she doesn't think she's supposed to feel. Elaine, on the other hand, intellectualizes her feelings instead of actually feeling them. #queerwriterschat #queerwriters #lesfic #indieauthor

I'm Kelsey, and I published my debut novel, a historical sapphic romance set in the 1950s, in May. I'm currently working on a contemporary novel that doesn't neatly fit into sapphic or romance categories, but is also very much both sapphic and romance. 🫠 #queerwriterschat #writingcommunity #writing

In A Soft Place to Land, Virginia and Elaine are ~23 years old, but are able to regulate their emotions and communicate in a healthy way, so... yeah, kind of unbelievable 🤣 #queerprompts #queerwriters #lesfic #wlw #sapphicromance #historicalromance #sapphfic

Spend less time on social media lol

I released my debut novel in May, and so far, more than 80 people have ordered it + kindleunlimited readers. I published it to share a story with a happy ending, so I'm glad people are finding it. 💖 a.co/d/iTtGJjA #lesfic #wlw #writing #sapphicromance #sapphfic #queerwriters #indieauthors

Everything is on fire, but writing gives me an opportunity to not think about that for a while. Sure, American civilization is collapsing, but I get to write about pretty girls fucking, so... I'm calling it a coping mechanism. #writingcommunity #queerwriters #sendhelp #lesfic #sapphicfiction

I'm Kelsey 🙋‍♀️ and my still-untitled WIP is about two women who find out they're dating the same guy and get revenge by hooking up with each other. Except... one of them is straight and the other still has feelings for one of her exes. ~80,000 words so far #weeknightwriters #queerwriters #lesfic #wlw
