Trying to remind myself that while I *technically* finished the first draft in 95 days, I had a few false starts and it took 4 years to get this draft started. ArtWIP can be allowed its time too. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #AmWriting #RomanceWriters

One headache cocktail later, I feel much better than I have for the last 4 days. Still aches, but much lower. Soooooo sensitive to noises though. Ugh. Gonna take off writing today even though I just started a new WIP over and thought it was going well 😭😭😭

oh my gosh thank you so much!!! The way I've seen you write yearning and conflict has definitely made me a better writer than I would've been not knowing you

Pizza Luce! Get their classic supreme or, my personal favorite, the Elote pizza. Corn on pizza? Somehow WORKS

I live for angsty romance. My favorite is former friends to lovers because I love the emotion of once knowing a person like your own soul and then all these walls between you afterwards. Breaks my heart! Wish you the best of luck with angsty romance! Hmu if you ever wanna talk romance angst

Color me intrigued??? 👀 how would it compare to romantic fluff? Would it still be romance?

Thank you so much! As much as I want to start TODAY, getting the last ~20k was just in this week and really messed up my sleep. 🤣 But I know myself. I'll start reading it and taking notes by midweek.

I love reading romance! A very charming one was Go Hex Yourself. I still need to read the sequel even though it's been on my TBR for a bit now

Pitch: What if I couldn't see that you loved me for me because I spent our 10yr friendship believing I was worthless? What if then I let myself pretend you did love me, but only for one 4 day weekend?

So many books and I don’t know what i want to read next #booksky

When you’re a mood reader who doesn’t know what you’re in the mood to read next. I’m not indecisive. I just can’t decide.

Former friends to lovers or second chance romance. Just give me someone who knows you like no one else and then give me a hefty dash of angst with it. #booksky #BookishQOTD

There's a local pizza chain that gets major, well deserved rep in my book because they make the best pizza I've ever had.

So, I'm scrambling to make sure I'm okay when my current day job imminently falls through. I could use some book sales of my queer polyamorous YA with court intrigue, or some new Ko-Fi members. The book: books2read.com/u/mqYLv2 The Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/thetomatowri... #LateNightWrite

No Questions Asked is a standalone novel. I eventually want to write 2 interconnected trilogies but they'll still all be standalone books. I've obviously seen romances go more than one book but I don't think I have the skill or patience to pull it off. 😅 #FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters

I need that tattooed on the inside of my wrist so I can look at it every time I complain that I "only" wrote some of my word count goal.

Hannah lives in Minneapolis. I have an unhealthy obsession with putting my characters in this frigid state alongside me, albeit in smaller apartments. Mine in not the biggest as it is. 😅 #WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall

I'll be tracking wordcount for a bit, then probably pages as I do edits, then wordcount again. I didn't realize I was so far into draft 1 so this #FirstDraftFall may be 2nd Draft Fall for me. I have other projects to work on too that are 1st drafts tho. But this is the priority. #WeeknightWriters

I am once again asking my body to be able to draft a novel without ignoring signals that tell me I need to pee. This is really the least of concerning signals, or lack of signals, but cmon.

Daphne M. | FINISHED THEIR FIRST DRAFT!!! @daphnemwrites.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I'm working on No Questions Asked, my adult contemporary romance. Two former friends pretend to date for a weekend as 10 years of history is revealed. There's no other project I could choose, this is the project of my soul. I love it so much. #WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall #WritingCommunity

Yesterday, I finally got my flow back for the project of my soul. I wrote 7517 words. Fuck. I thought I'd come home from a writefest at @thetomatowriter.bsky.social's place and CRASH, but I'm still going. #FirstDraftFall begins! I'll be dividing energy between worldbuilding and drafting. #WriteSky

Today's #WIPSnips is personal to me because I've used this very excuse about my own mania. I also wanted to show Hannah and Luke very codependent because this is the chapter everything falls apart in. This is when that dynamic blows up in their faces. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

A blue green ocean with foamy waves meets a clean sandy beach. It's empty. Cream text reads:

“You’re manic,” I told him. I knew he often knew well before anyone else, but I needed to hear him say this wasn’t that.

He scoffed. “Hypomanic at worst. Just excited.” He squeezed my leg. “This isn’t that. I just realized where I want to be.” He smiled at me and I didn’t miss his eyes flickering to my lips.

It was exactly what I wanted to hear and it dismantled any guardrails I could’ve put up. He wanted to be with me.

He wanted to be with me.

I have all of him again. I just needed to give him all of me.

At the bottom it reads No Questions Asked @daphnemwrites

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

Paperbacks all the way. Honestly it goes library books >>> ebooks >>> paperbacks >>> hardcovers. I'm looking to move abroad in the next decade and already need to downsize my book collection. I don't want more physical books at all. Until Emily Henry comes out with a new one. #booksky #bookishQOTD
