Why it takes me an hour to get ready for bed: I spend 30 minutes mentally venting that I have to do chores before bed. 30 minutes to actually do everything so I can sleep. 😮‍💨

I was doing inventory of my books yesterday and looked at my trilogy (plus bonus 2.5 novel) and said, “wow, I did that.” It’s a long journey, fellow authors. Remember to celebrate every small win. 🩶 #writersky #authorsky #indieauthor #romanceauthor #romantasyauthor

Deadly games of hide and seek. The actual floor is lava (book 2). The party’s over. But it’s only just beginning for our beloved demon mmc. Gives Ready or Not vibes, but add in a super hot demon and make it a spicy romance. #booksky 🌶️📚 #paranormalromance #spicybooks #dragherdown #indieauthor

“At least my odds of winning this game of
HIDE AND SEEK improved.”

It FINALLY HAPPENED. I had to reference “Book title draft 07” to see what a hugely typo’d sentence originally said so I could fix it. Then I saved “book title 23 3rd revision” 😎 #authorlife #authorsky #writersky

When you ignore all your author duties and instead spend the whole day reading / buying books from independent book stores, you can call it self-care. #authorsky #booksky #independentbookstoreday

Them: I heard you don't like slow burns. Me: I do like slow burns. I love slowly revealing parts of my WIP as a massive build up to the release date. I love teasers, and— Them: But your books— Me: Oh, the books. No, those are not slow burns. Not at all. #booksky #authorsky #romancelandia

We love when our FMCs come with a little bit unhinged, right? If anyone loves dark romantasy, where the FMC is a little bit (lot bit) stabby, I have a finished series you should check out. 😏 #booksky #romantasy #romancelandia

85k words total. Still have half a chapter and an epilogue to write. When I say this book broke me because of the cathartic ending after ALL that... yeah. Y. e. a. h. But it's also a smexy demon romance, so like, there's that too. #writersky #authorsky 🌶️📚

Ariel Rae @arielraeauthor.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

I don’t care that it is 2am, I am reading another chapter because the tension is at a 100. #romantasy #booksky #romancelandia 🌶️📚

Gridded design that states:

IT'S 2AM, BUT SHE JUST PUSHED HIM TO THE END OF HIS PATIENCE.
Just one more chapter.

Anyone else skip ahead when a scene strikes only to have to rewrite it later to fit the flow once they get there? I have a "for later" scene where I have to sort it out as I go, but it's sorted! I'm officially down to the last FOUR chapters of the final book in the duet. 😮‍💨 #authorsky #writersky
