Salomé, my historical fiction novel, is a love letter to my ancestors. Writing a manuscript that is culturally specific is a huge risk when western culture isn’t at the forefront. Salomé was inspired by Taíno folktale. Their stories deserve to be kept alive. I’m honored to have been a vessel. 🇵🇷

The best birthday gift as a writer is getting feedback on my historical fiction by my new amazing writer’s group 🥹 Thank you for the amazing connections @scottwelvaert 🎂

Another rejection. It doesn’t get easier. I yearn to grow as a writer. The biggest thing I struggle with is getting feedback and understanding exactly how someone wants me to implement changes. There is no exact map. 🗺️ Time to fill my knapsack and begin the journey… again.

Whyyyyyy do my characters start talking to me and each other at 12:31 AM 😂😭 Having whole conversations and arguments while I’m scrambling to grab my bedside notepad and pen 📝

Writers! What are your thoughts on Save the Cat!? Give me the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Working on my third novel… new genre… and after writing four chapters I am back at square one because gahhh they were info-dumpy 😭😩 glad to have feedback that is clear and concise. Back to drafting… 📝

Crafting deeply relatable, flawed #characters who grow over the course of a #novel is such an intimate, grueling, yet satisfying process. We mourn their trials, feast in their triumphs, and learn from their tribulations. ✨

Me: What if my #writing is no good? Also me: Keep writing. Respect the #craft. Improve your weaknesses and lean into your strengths. Just write. Never stop.

As a #writer, I spend so much time arguing with myself as I stare into the void. Only second to arguing with my #characters 🤣 Happy Monday 📝

I really have to stop listening to my audiobook right before bed… Last night I had a dream and Jack Barlow was the Uber driver 😂 #FourthWing #TheEmperyonSeries @rebeccayarros.bsky.social

Two of my characters are in intense argument and I just had to take a quick break 😭 I know they will pick up right where they left off when I get back 🥴 #writing

Franchesca Writes 📝 @fglovestowrite.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Sometimes I’m in the middle of doing something mundane or ordinary and all of a sudden an entire conversation between two of my characters in the chapter I’m working on will start unfurling in my mind. Sometimes they’ll start arguing and I have to stop what I’m doing and try to trap it somehow 😅

Writing is lonely, especially when it’s just you and your villian in a scene 😫 and nobody knows they’re a villian yet but you do.

Done with #chapter 3 and just finished #plotting the rest of my #socialhorror #novel. And now I need a cigarette. 🚬 Too bad I don’t smoke. 😫 Coño.

Franchesca Writes 📝 @fglovestowrite.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

To all my #socialhorror #writers: I’m new to writing this #genre How do you deal with the ongoing angst and #dread as you write? I have the entire plot beginning to end and ooph, I’m writing in details that will matter in the end and the dread is intense. Would love to hear your thoughts 💭

To the #writingcommunity who liked my post yesterday and left me such kind comments… thank you 🥹🫶🏽 Back at it again today ✍🏽 To those of us in the #query trenches, we got this.

Franchesca Writes 📝 @fglovestowrite.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Some #query rejections hit harder than others 💔 may I never forget the humbling sting of defeat. I know my novels will be out in the world one day. That I will be a successful #author. But today, I will sit and reflect on how hard this journey has been. Then, I will #write again.

I just 💀 one of my favorite characters and now I am balling. But, he had to go for the sake of the story. 😭 My darling 😫💔

Franchesca Writes 📝 @fglovestowrite.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

F’kd around and got inspired to #write a #socialhorror that requires extensive research 🥴 I would be the one to find a way to give myself hw 🤣

Franchesca Writes 📝 @fglovestowrite.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

I am a whimsy, romantasy gal… both in what I read and write. So when characters from a #socialhorror novel whispered in my ear and a plot quickly revealed itself, I was taken aback. Just finished chapter 1 of my WIP and there’s a knot in my stomach😩 It’s gonna be a long, rough few months ahead lol 🖤

Someone said, “you know Beyonce had Jay Z rappin’ on the treadmill while it was at 10” and after seeing clips of his show online Imma have to agree 🤣 The mic was onnn and they both sounded incredible 🔥

Franchesca Writes 📝 @fglovestowrite.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

And then… the family skeletons began to appear. Fuck. Everybody got secrets in my manuscript and the characters are just telling me now 😩 Revision #3 or is it #4? Who knows… but here we go…

Franchesca Writes 📝 @fglovestowrite.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

The scariest part about really getting to know your #characters and allowing the #plot to write itself on the #rewrite is discovering that your favorite character has to die 😭

Waiting for feedback on your #novel is a special kind of torture 🤣😭

Being a #writer is finding the right balance of letting your intrusive thoughts have creative freedom to narrate your novels but stopping them from trying to narrate your real life 😂😭

Franchesca Writes 📝 @fglovestowrite.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

Question: how do you #write through sadness? Many times, emotions propel me forward whether they are good or bad. But sometimes the heaviness is overbearing… Would love to hear how y’all push through. 💔

Franchesca Writes 📝 @fglovestowrite.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

A new day. A new opportunity. Get out there, #write a word, a sentence, an entire chapter - Whatever you can give. Brace for the difficulties ahead while rejoicing in the freedom of expression. We got this. 📝

Having ANY of your work ( #query, #synopsis, #chapters) in the hands of readers and critique partners feels like the first time you drop your child off at school 😭 The angst and anxiety is real. #writing #amquerying #amcrying

Franchesca Writes 📝 @fglovestowrite.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Can we talk about the financial sacrifice of being a #writer? I don’t think it’s discussed enough. Let me clarify, this is not a complaint, but an acknowledgment. If we want our manuscripts to be at a level where they are seriously considered by a #literaryagent…

#AncestralVeneration and healing is #writing a scene in your #novel that includes a novenario de difuntos, and although you are no longer a practicing Catholic, you are sobbing by the time you write the last ‘amen’. 😭💔🇵🇷🙏🏽📿

Writing a historical fantasy based on your culture is wild because what do you mean some chapters make me cry no matter how many times I read them? 🇵🇷😭 #AncestralVeneration

Franchesca Writes 📝 @fglovestowrite.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

If we all, as #writers, want to fight against #AI, particularly in the querying space, then we must give grace to all #literaryagents and response times. As the world moves faster, our patience wanes… but if we want the work to be evaluated by a human, that takes time✨

Maybe blasting #Renaissance in my headphones while #editing in a public library wasn’t the best choice 😂 In a small booth but my momentary and spontaneous voguing startled my neighbor 🪩 #Beyonce

I am deep into #editing in Word and this effin’ period won’t erase! I hit backspace, I highlight and press delete…nothing. Rage consumes me and after a few minutes of fuming, I realize it’s a speck of dirt on my laptop screen 🫠 I need to go outside and touch grass lol How is your editing going? 😂

The #library is still such a magical place. ✨ There is a serenity here. When #writersblock threatens to creep in, the library is my first line of defense. 📚 Happy to see so many other people here working, #reading, and researching. 😌 Where are your #magical places to #write??

I completed my first manuscript in 2025. I completed my second novel this year and am in the planning stages for a third.
