Just got back from a road trip to the mountains! open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw...

#wipsnips May 30 “Lifetime” #paranormalromance #amwriting

#mememay day 30 This month has been one of the busiest months of the year and I’m going to need at least a week of nothing to recover from it.

#mememay day 29 I don’t listen to music while i write but I heard this unreleased song on TikTok that really made me think of the love interest of my #paranormalromance Mannequin by Jutes

#mememay day 28 This was hard because I don’t keep up with actors/actresses! But I was able to find Coco Jones to play Izzy! She looks a lot like the picture I drew earlier in the month! #paranormalromance #fancast

#mememay day 27 My antagonist for the B-plot of my story is my FMC’s crazy controlling mother. The reason my FMC moved to a small magical haven city was to get away from her. #paranormalromance

#mememay day 26 Despite the circumstances of the story, I made sure the another woman wasn’t the antagonist in my paranormal romance. The trope of the b*tchy romantic rival was not something I was interested in perpetuating! #paranormalromance

#mememay day 25 Izzy’s Pokemon would be a Celebi!

#mememay day 24 Sorry I missed a few! It’s been busy! GIF of MC at the end of the story! #paranormalromance

#mememay day 21 Out of context spoilers 🤫

#mememay day 20 Alternate title: the Ocelot, the Witch, and the Bookshop

#mememay day 19 This is for Clarke, Izzy’s best friend, baker, and witch with an air affinity 🥖 💨

#wipsnips May 19th “brother” This excerpt is about brothers but doesn’t say “brother” #paranormalromance #writingcommunity #writersky #authorsky #amwritingparanormalromance

I really like how my #wipsnip and #mememay line up today

#wipsnips May 18th “forest” Be gentle, this is a completely unedited first draft! #paranormalromance #writingcommunity #writersky #authorsky #booksky

#mememay day 18 Izzy is a witch with an earth affinity (not to be confused with an earth witch!) she has power over plants and can communicate with them. She could talk about them at length! 🪴

#mememay day 17 Izzy would be a pain au chocolate! 🥐

#mememay day 16 The strangest thing I’ve researched for my current WIP is how much blood flow has to be restricted for someone to pass out and how long before sever brain damage 😅

#mememay Day 15 (sorry I missed yesterday!) MC dating app bio Name: Izzy Blackwood (she/her) Age: 30 Bio: I’d rather be reading but my kid and coven put me up to this. Let’s just meet for lunch at Forking Good Diner to get them off my back. Thanks!

#mememay day 13 My FMC’s daughter would laugh at this because it describes her whole personality! #paranormalromance #booksky #authorsky

I wrote a book in a month! The book I’ve been talking about for mememay I wrote from start to finish durning the month of April! #authorsky #writersky #writingcommunity #substack #paranormalromance #amwriting open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw...

#mememay day 12 Editing is the worst part of the process so far 😩 #bookediting #writersky #authorsky

#mememay day 11 Luckily for me I can only describe my plot poorly 😂 A bookish witch falls for the first guy who was nice to her in a new town. Five years later, she finally gets the courage to date him only to discover there was more keeping them apart than her shyness. #paranormalromance

#mememay day 10 2 truths and 1 lie about me! 1. I have to improve 2-3 new stories every night before I can go to sleep 2. I’ve never been to a live concert 3. Chick Fil A lemonade almost removed me from life

#mememay day 9 I totally read this wrong and thought 60 min instead of 60 seconds so I’ll post both 😂 #characterart #booksky

#mememay day 8 Use emojis to show the story catalyst 👵🏾🌳👧🏽👧🏻🐺🩸👩🏾🐈

#mememay day 7 GIF of Main character at the beginning of the story. Izzy, at the beginning of the story, is sneaking in a little romance read at work before being interrupted! #paranormalromance #amwritingparanormalromance #booksky

#mememay day 6! Song that reminds me of my current WIP! This What Falling in Love Feels Like by JVKE music.amazon.com/albums/B09DJ...

#mememay day 5! My antagonist’s green flags ✅ ✅ Family first ✅ Goal oriented ✅ Go getter ✅ Excellent manners The way I cackled writing these. 😂 #paranormalromance #booksky

#mememay day 4! Clarke has been trying really hard to get Izzy to go out on the town and find a date! #paranormalromance #amwriting #booksky

#mememay day 3! This is Izzy in a nutshell! She’s a witch with an earth affinity who lives above the bookstore she owns. #amwritingparanormalromance #paranormalromance #booksky

Missed day 1! I’m Ashley and I write about this on the website of our company in a couple weeks. 👩🏽‍💻 #mememay

When a witch gets set up to work with her longtime crush for the town bicentennial she discovers pursuing her attraction might mean the end of the ocelot shifters. She must decide between risking her heart for a short fling or never getting the chance to love him at all. #mememay #paranormalromance

To no one in particular, I’m really happy with how chapter seven worked out! I was stuck but figured out that I could move the information to the previous chapter and keep that chapter light hearted! Now on to chapter eight! #writersky #authorsky #writingcommunity #amwritingparanormalromance

I’ve been trying to pinpoint this ennui I’ve felt towards my WIP. This isn’t the whole of it but is a major factor. But like always, setting goals helps give all that anxiety a focus. open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw... #booksky #writingcommunity #writersky #substackwriter #substack

Subscriber only short story released today! A rare male witch in an impossible position to choose between his morals and his quality of life! open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw...

I just realized that while I was formatting my book that I somehow lost every italicized part of my story. That’s every inner thought my character has (which is a tense change) blending in with everything else. I want to cry 😭 #bookformatting #writersky #authorsky #writingcommunity

I was truly devastated that my first book convention was cancelled only two weeks before I was set to go. But even out over 1k I lucked out compared to the authors and vendors who were set to sell at the festival! #booksky #dreamersandreaders #bookconvention open.substack.com/pub/ashleytw...

I spent a whole day working on interior formatting for my serial novel Short Cuts! Since I completed the first season, I’ve craved being able to hold a physical copy in my hands! #booksky #authorsky #writersky #bookillustration #bookformatting

I took a short break from book edits to dabble in ACEOs! I’ve made nine mini paintings so far and want to do more. I’m really rusty with watercolor as I’m primarily a digital artist and graphic designer but this was fun! #artthreads #aceo #atc #watercolor
