When THE romance novel queen @carleyfortune.bsky.social says you're one of her role models, you might rethink your resistance to the title lol. The Book of Possibilities is out in 5 days! www.beequammie.com/the-book-of-...

"Bee Quammie may resist being
called a role model, but with The Book
of Possibilities she's certainly become
one of mine. Inspiring and practical,
it's the kind of book you'll want
to press into the hands of every girl
and woman you know."

Working on revising my first draft before submitting it. I think this is probably the slowest self-revision I’ve done. All the scenes are in the right place, but I’m rewriting most of them. The relationship dynamic is tricky in this one!

Spending the weekend on draft 1 self-revisions. It’s such slow work! Grateful to have a partner who takes care of the kids while I hunker down.

Typed THE END on the first draft of my fifth novel today. Much work to be done, but the bones are now in place. The best feeling!

Establishing a simple morning ritual before I get started with writing: Read a poem. Sit and breathe. Move to the desk.

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 22/12/2024

44,000 words into my manuscript, and I have finally figured out my heroine’s surname! 🎉

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

I’ve been sick for more than a week and not able to write like I usually can. Trying not to push myself as per usual and instead going to try “slow writing.” Is this already a term? If not, I’m calling it. I’m going to take my time on each sentence and word because my brain can’t move fast.

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

I redid my author photos yesterday, which has long been on my to-do list. I had a vision of something a bit different with Big Dress Energy. I’m sick of regular headshots. It took a big chunk out of the day, but I think it’ll be worth it! Back to regular writing today.

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Went to my desk at 5:30 this morning (couldn’t sleep) and started writing. I was interrupted by kids 45 minutes later, but I did manage to break 30k words in my manuscript before that. I love writing in the morning when it’s dark and it feels like the world is still asleep—so cozy and witchy.

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

I only have a half-day to write today so am hoping for 1,000 words but who knows? My characters have just arrived at their destination, and I find knew sections like this can be slow to crack.

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

I feel like my daily word count goal has started to hinder more than help. I’ve got to a part in my manuscript where I need to spend a couple hours planning and imagining, and I find myself resisting b/c of my word goal. So I’m throwing it out the window!

2200

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

I’ve been at my desk working for 2 hours without having done any writing, and I was stress crying on and off all of yesterday. Writing doesn’t necessarily get easier or feel more spacious when you’re doing it full-time. Will try to cram in 2k words today.

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Today: - write 2,000 words, though I’d love if I could stretch it up to 3k. That rarely (maybe never?) happens. I’m not a super speedy drafter, even when I leave my manuscript riddled with TKs

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Went straight to my desk when I woke at 6. I find it hard to keep up with the non-writing part of being an author this time of year. There’s a lot of gear up for the next publication cycle (ONE GOLDEN SUMMER! OUT MAY 6!) at the same time I’m cracking into a new novel. Aiming for the usual 2k!

080

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

Today’s writing to-do list: - write 2,000 words and therefore hit the 20k word mark for my first draft of book 5

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

Our stolen vehicle has been found AND I exceeded my word count goal! What a Monday.

0170

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Mondays are usually my toughest writing day, and this one may be particularly hard since I’m starting back after a few days off. Plus our vehicle was stolen last night. Thankfully we were left alone and are safe. I’m still hoping for 2,000 words 🤞

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Got 111 words down. It’s mostly about a can of pop. 🤷‍♀️

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

In Montreal. Forgot how much I adore this city. Had the loveliest signing last night and I have two more today and tomorrow at the Salon du Livre. Just sent my husband out for coffee and sustenance so I can try to squeeze in some writing. I’ll be happy with even 100 words today. It all adds up!

070

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

I had big plans to write 500 words today but it’s not going to happen. I am, however, writing a quick newsletter that will go out tomorrow!

080

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

I’m traveling to Montreal today for the last few book signings of the year. I’ll hoping to get some work done on book 5, though. Dropping my daily word count goal from 2,000 to 500. Wish me luck!

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

Today’s to-do list: - write 2,000 words - figure out main character’s surname? - go to the gym - pack for trip to Montreal (I have three signings there on Thurs, Fri and Sat)

Carley Fortune @carleyfortune.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

I just started drafting my fifth novel last week. Since I’m often asked for writing advice, I thought I could use BlueSky as a place to lift the curtain on the process.
