If I don't hit 50k words tonight on this manuscript, I will SCREAM

This is my favorite account.

Don't forget: ASK YOUR LIBRARY TO BUY THE BOOK!! Libraries pay higher rates for books and requesting that your library purchase a book: A) costs you nothing and B) will make the author so, so happy

In #JacksonMI, we won't sit on the side and keep watching our country tear into US, our RIGHTS, our RESOURCES, and our POWER. Instead, we once again stand together as one, #INDIVISIBLE, for liberty and justice for all! March 28th, Horace Blackman Park: #NOKINGS!

#INTERNATIONALWOMENSDAY: Lisa Orban (the powerhouse behind Indies United Publishing) could eat you for breakfast but she won't because she's NICE.

The very reliable, very much not fake reviews for #SPARKS are in! "Wow. Incredible." "Sexy. Sweet. All around cute ass book." Babes, I haven't even finished the manuscript yet, and just, wow. #Blessed, amiright?

Ooo, babes, we're cranking out words tonight! Right now my romance #Sparks word count is: 40,428!! Gimme that word count, babes 🖋️ Share the title of your work and the current word count! #writingcommunity #letsgoooo #writing #booksky #writersky #wordcount

I've been listening to White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter on repeat. #LanaDelRay, you crazy bitch, you're at it again. I don't even know if I like it? But I...like...it? And then #Gorillaz showed up? With some gorgeously heart rending songs? What in the treble clef is happening

A text to my #BetaReader: You know that trope where someone is constantly mentioned by a main character but the audience never meets them & the stories about said mystery person get more crazy? That's Trevor's sister, Monica. #Sparks #Romance #booksky

Finish. This. Manuscript!!! #Sparks #idiots #lovebirds #romance #romancewriter #deadlines

It's become increasingly clear that the best motivation for writing is spite.

Now I know you're all saying, "But, Laura, you're deranged. What #publishing house would want you, you turbid fiend?" 📚 Indies United Publishing House Ok, they may not *want* me but they're stuck with me, the poor lovely bastards. And I hear that we're looking for more authors! #JOINUS #indies

How I arrived on @bsky.app:

Just so you know: I like screaming into the phones of my elected reps. Not into the internet void. This account is dedicated to chaotic fun & romance writing, but the actual person behind the account as been writing to and call her reps. YOU CAN TOO www.house.gov/representati... #NoWarinIran

Cranking away at #Sparks tonight! Thought you should meet the main characters, Olivia and Trevor: They're very smart & accomplished #SmallBusiness owners. And SO stupid. Because when I tell you that their #romance is drawn out, I'm talking yeeeeeears, babes. They're big dumb. You'll hate it.

Me, writing: "And they kissed. The End." I'm all done! My Beta Reader: No, they do not, you little shit. Get back here and add some drama. Me:

Guess now is as good a time as any to do a title/ #coverreveal for #SPARKS! (and tease what the next book is going to be about!)

Jennie, my editor, is the best #editor Missed my deadline because I did the super normal thing of adding an entire PART ONE to my book (because, y'know, depth & character growth) No questions asked, she pushed the date forward She knows I'm a mess Hire Jennie: www.instagram.com/jenniereads/...

Oh, and for the record: It's not a #TushPush. It's a very messy #MAUL, you degenerates.

As a writer, I support this. Rip my work to shreds if you hate it, babes. My beta reader is @greeny1151.bsky.social. You can't hurt me. (Or you know...you can give me glowing reviews. I'm a melodramatic arteeest. I love praise.)

Started writing #smut and then I fell in love with the characters...now it's a whole ass #romancenovel because I can't stop adding details about *very important things* Like the mom of a main character being obsessed with tiny hats. Yes. That is actually in my book.

Started my smut/romance #writer @bsky.app account and the first thing I did was follow @smutandsensibility.bsky.social! Can't wait to send them a copy of my upcoming novel! #Goals
