#fridaykiss Prompt: talented #amwriting #writingcommunity 🌶️📚
“I bet you’re so talented at tying knots, aren’t you? I bet you earned a badge in it and everything.” 
“I need a yes or a no.”
“You saw what I had in my nightstand.”
“Yes or no.”
“Yes,” I groaned. 
He leaned in so close the nearness of his lips warmed my ear, but they never touched my skin. “Then what do you say if you want me to stop?”

I was so lucky the Magical Health and Safety Corps had mistaken me for someone qualified. If I gave up that unearned advantage, I’d have nothing. Besides, after five years, this was the only thing I was fit to do.

A snippet from my romantasy meets workplace romcom WIP for #fridaykiss 🌶️📚 #romancelandia #amwriting #writingcommunity
Snippet from Odette Locke’s WIP, “A Corps of Health and Safety” in response to the #fridaykiss prompt, “lover.”

Much as I’d love to say the gorgeous man crawling around under the table with me was like, my soulmate or something, that wasn’t how this worked.

Time to post the character art of one of my favorite characters from You Left Me the Stars, Valrissa. Aka, everyone's favorite high femme top. (Art by ProlixPat on IG) #Author #Writer #Sapphicfantasy #Queerfantasy #Characterart
A Chinese woman with shoulder-length dark hair swept to one side of her head, wearing a V-neck red dress, and holding a glass of red wine. Her face and arms are covered with burn scars that look like flames.

When the main character finally admits she likes being praised 🌶️📚 #WIPsnips #romancelandia #fantasyromance #writersky
Response to the wipsnips prompt, “ride.” Excerpt from Odette Locke’s fantasy romance novel WIP, A Corps of Health and Safety.

“If I had my way, you’d only ever be praised and adored.”

His lips were rosy and just out of my reach, swollen from how we’d spent the cab ride here.

“Then praise and adore me.”

Happy to elaborate! It all started when I attended an awesome workshop by @rebeccathorne.bsky.social on 5 sentence plotting. I thought it would be neat to use that method to reverse outline my current draft. You know, just for the love of sorting things into categories. (1/3)

SHOCKED to find that by nerding out about my plot structure and character arcs in an elaborate spreadsheet I have TRICKED myself into developmental editing 🌶️📚 #romancelandia #writerscommunity #amwriting

“Beg? That sounds like the sort of thing you would do on your knees” is the romance book dialogue line I CANNOT stop thinking about 🥰 (from Lust for Tomorrow by @danasweeneyauthor.bsky.social)

A snippet from my WIP in response to today’s #fridaykiss prompt, “never.”
“I never thought anyone would believe me about what happened, let alone want to make it right.”He nuzzled my nose. “I told you my main motivation in life was revenge, didn’t I?”

I probably shouldn’t have found that as attractive as I did.

to become a romance writer you can split your neuroses neatly into two characters and force them to fall in love with each other thereby finally accepting all your parts as lovable (don’t worry, becoming a writer will grant you brand new neuroses)
