#fridaykiss from my WIP Come Over The lights are low in the cabin. It’s dark outside at this point, but I see enough. He’s so perfect looking, it’s not even fair. But what I can’t wrap my head around is the look he’s giving me. Like I matter to him.

#WIPSnips from Come Over She’s right. It’s just a fling. I won’t hurt her. It won’t mean anything to me. But even as I think that, it doesn’t feel right. I look at her in the eyes and she looks at me for a solid minute in silence. Then she crosses the space between us and kisses me.

First 30 minutes of Nano complete! I was able to edit 3 pages of my WIP

Breaking News: One Colorado officer was convicted and another was acquitted in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old unarmed Black man.

#WIPSnips I set my anger and the pain I’m feeling at what she’s saying aside, because she’s so painfully transparent. “So choose me now. You’re just hiding behind your rules and your fear, rather than admit you have feelings. You could have everything that you’ve wanted, if you just picked me now.”

#WIPSnips “I don’t need a date.” “I have a feeling you don’t need anything.” He steps closer to me. “But wouldn’t it be nice is someone was there just for you? Someone you don’t have to impress or perform for? Someone you can relax around?”

#WIPSnips She’s wearing a pair of tight fitting shorts and a white flowing tank that’s sheer enough to see her blue sports bra. I still haven’t seen her in anything other than her own line of clothes. I wonder what she’d look like in a cocktail dress, at sunset, at a candlelit table for two.

So, I considered making #WIPSnips Mon-Fri because last weekend was quiet, but y'all SHOWED UP today. For those of you who like to plan ahead, the #WIPSnips words for this week! Don't forget to search #WIPSnips to interact with peeps & check out the Writing Prompts feed! #authors #writingcommunity

Hey, all. Julie Rehmeyer has made it easy to donate Blue Sky invite codes to folks in the disability community for whom Twitter was a crucial support. If you have extras you can drop them here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Fuck it. I’ll tell her what I really want. “I’m not fighting with you today. You can either get naked in my bed and wait for me to have the energy to fuck this attitude out of you. Or we can go out on the boat.” She freezes. It’s not like the boat is safe from thoughts of me fucking her. #fridaykiss

Food is a love language, but I liked this quote better #wipsnip She looks so beautiful, with her hair slicked back and wet. I know if I kiss her, her lips will taste like salt. I want to stay here forever, unaffected by the waves crashing around us.

#wipsnip She ignores me for a week after the kiss on the beach. I’m sure she’s finding her equilibrium again, but it annoys the fuck out of me. She doesn’t realize how quickly she’s become my center of everything. And the way she’s depriving me of her makes me feel like I’m collapsing in on myself.

I wonder if the prequel short story that I didn’t read gives the characters the depth they seem to be lacking in the book I’m reading. But I don’t care enough about them to figure it out. I just think that I’m 50% through and the only reason they have for doing things is “romance reasons.”

Today’s #fridaykiss

Orion has a unique proposal for Carina in my WIP: “Well, I’m right next door whenever you need some verbal sparring.” “You mean that?” I shrug. “Why not? You clearly have tension you need to work through, and you don’t want to fuck it out.” “So we’re what, frenemies?” #WIPSnips

Looking “free” up made me realize how much I use “freeze” 😂 She looks around at the emptiness of the sea. I want her to decide that here we can have each other. I don’t need her to pretend that she’s perfect. I want her to want me the way I want her. Raw, vulnerable, and free. #wipsnips

#wipsnips from Come Over I swim to the shallow end and hear him laughing behind me as he follows. And then we’re both standing in his pool, in clothes that aren’t meant to get wet, staring at each other.

The first text was perfect 10/10. No notes. 🦦

Non-spicy instance of “beg” instead of pray. Let me know if you want a spicy entry too! #wipsnips I can feel Orion begging me to open up to him, but the risk feels too great. He could take all of me and scatter it like the debris in a hurricane. And I wouldn’t be able to find all the pieces again.

I don’t use “pray” anywhere! 😭 I might add something later today because I have some ideas

#wipsnips from Come Over: I try to hold back a sob, but I’m with Orion and so all of my good intentions fall away. He kisses the top of my head. “Tell me what’s wrong.” I pull away and wipe at my tears. “It’s nothing. I’m overreacting.” “I highly doubt that.” #romancelandia #amwriting

Indie authors! It’s always a good idea to comb through auction prizes and write down the names of the people providing author services. That way when you need one, you have a list of people who share at least some of your values
