okay so fun fact when you’ve never seen art of your characters before, reading your book afterwards is like reading it in vivid technicolor (so…thanks @queerente.bsky.social)

why on earth does every single machine calculate weight differently?? what is the point of PRs and such when it’s all useless the moment you’re somewhere else

Emerson Matir | Aspiring Author @emersonmatir.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

I’ve that too, but mostly to ponder what on earth these people actually read because it clearly wasn’t what was on the page

you’re better than me, I absolutely would

I officially have to shelf MTAS for a rewrite and that sucks, but I and grateful to my past self who wrote another book right after finishing that one because it means I’m right on track to try again without a large gap and I think that’s the best option there is

look I know building shoulders is really helpful for a masculine look but the joints are loose enough that I’m pretty sure I can mildly subluxate one at will so they do not care about this fact

I’ve officially started editing the second novel I drafted and guys I’m biased but also it’s kinda great like why am I so excited over my characters meeting for the first time?? I literally wrote the book

Emerson Matir | Aspiring Author @emersonmatir.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

so what if I finished my current wip within the month? what then?

Emerson Matir | Aspiring Author @emersonmatir.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

ah the joy of putting your current wip into a plotting document and realizing it does in fact fit very nicely and you didn’t accidentally pace it horribly

Emerson Matir | Aspiring Author @emersonmatir.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

Not for this one, at the moment, but I’ll make a post if that changes!

just so everyone knows, there is no serotonin boost like overwhelmingly positive beta reader feedback

Emerson Matir | Aspiring Author @emersonmatir.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

I’m officially in the beta reader stage…time to look at agents and hope people enjoy it (no worries this isn’t stressful at all or anything)

Emerson Matir | Aspiring Author @emersonmatir.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

so I know that having your best friend tell you that your book is good means nothing in the professional world but knowing that someone liked it is still really exciting (she did have good notes for me and also doesn’t read romance much so my bsf is top tier actually)

making edits is actually so satisfying like I knew something was off and now someone told me what it is so I can fix it and it’s no longer annoying

writing dual pov is so fun because you get one character’s view talking about the things they like about the other character followed by the other character thinking they’ve immeasurably screwed up by doing something socially awkward and of course actually doing the thing the one character liked
