I wish writing was like math, at least a little. That I’d know 2+2=4 is right no matter how you look at it, instead of revising my outline 20 times and never truly believing it’s the best it can be 😭

the book I aspire to write isn’t my last 5⭐ — it’s the 3.5⭐ rollercoaster of a book that made me learn things about myself, made me cry and laugh and scream. I’ll survive if my book isn’t a work of literary genius, but if it doesn’t make anyone feel anything, then I’ve failed

Preparing a QuestP!t pitch is going well, I’m definitely not struggling

I feel like I have to write a RH romance to apologise for the mess that it’s TLTWW’s love triangle (and for putting two hot ass LIs in a position where they can’t share)

Me, crossposting? Maybe 🤫

Writing the next draft after major changes is so FUN, I totally don’t pause every 20 seconds to think about how I’ve ruined everything and should scrap it and undo every (good) change I’ve made

I cant wait for witcher ciri

ahhh

I am genuinely so tired of tearing this book apart to fix storytelling issues but I'm ALSO not willing to give up on it, so here we are AGAIN.

i think abt the scene where damen & laurent are hiding on the balcony trying to muffle their laughter all the time

Instead of saying 'abracadabra', he says 'Oh, baby yes!' And just like that, she's transformed into a puddle of bliss ✨

I think the reason I keep going back to X is because my feed here is so… quiet (and because I have no idea how to navigate this app lol)

When Saint Opelli comes looking for a sword guardian, Enryn refuses; she’s done with that life. But when the magical saint finds herself in trouble Enryn cant deny her training or instinct to help, and agrees to protect Opelli until she finds someone more adequate. #YouDeservePit #F #A #LGBT

AN EMBER IN THE ASHES x SCORPIO RACES x MULAN If you're looking for a dual POV #YA sports romantasy with childhood friends to lovers, sibling rivalry, and long distance daughter vibes, I'm drafting the book for you 🗡️🐎❄️ #YouDeservepIt #WIP #F

A seer tethered to a tainted legacy and a lab-engineered weapon with more power than his body can handle. Clandestine meetings aren’t enough to absolve them from witnessing the horrors surrounding them—and certainly not from participating. #YouDeservepIt #W #A #SF #DS

i’ll be pitching my WIP for #YouDeservepIt later today and sharing support while i work! can’t wait to see everyone’s pitches 🖤

You are not “well read” if you don’t read books with LGBTQ themes You are not “well read” if you don’t read books with BIPOC characters You are not “well read” if you don’t read books highlighting disability You are not “well read” if you don’t read books outside of your limited worldview

i keep forgetting this app exists but i DID lose a lot of faith in it when i opened my notifs this morning (bots on bots on bots)

holding space for the words in my WIP today…

There’s no such thing as guilty pleasure. There’s just liking what you like and reading what you want.

unsolicited ✨reading advice✨ you can just DNF a book. even if it's critically acclaimed. even if everyone has read it. even if you thought you'd like it. even if it sold a million copies. you can DNF. *ALSO: don't go DMing the author to tell them or tag them in reviews where you blast the book 😘

i think i’m going to do a social media detox over the holiday because there’s no reason it should feel like a job. i have a job

the devil couldn’t reach me so he had me make mikhail sokolov and then had him not be real (i would’ve chased like nobody has chased before)

writers and artists: {\__/} ( • . •) / > ✨ hiiiiiii look at this thing I made {\__/} (ò . ó) / > ✨ I SAID LOOK AT IT __/} .° ) \ ... but... please do not perceive me

screaming, crying, throwing up about this! Megan's first book was my five-star introduction to horror when I read it as a NetGalley ARC, and I STILL think about it every so often (especially when I see a funky deer). I've been ready for the next one ever since and it's finally coming !! 😭

sometimes writing feels like an unbreakable, spiraling addiction, and at the same time, a glorious, healing cure

no but the arcane s2 soundtrack (especially ashes & blood) is absolute peak brainstorming music

It's hard to overstate how good BookTok has been for romance and reading in general. It's introducing a whole new generation of readers to books, especially romance and romantasy, and while I'm critical of some aspects, as a whole it's been fantastic for the industry.

in the office today and naturally can’t stop thinking about writing — because when else would i have brainrot, if not precisely when i CANNOT do anything with it

finally cracked a really tough chapter and got the ball rolling even faster on the first (fake) romance in this book, i am endlessly pleased today 💋

nobody move
