Hot damn, if I hadn't already turned in my story for this year's Great Lakes Fiction Writers anthology, I might be trying a Law & Order "ripped from the headlines" angle 😂😂😂

I was absolutely delighted by this newsletter - to learn there is a name for something I do all the time in my writing, to understand better why it works, is so helpful.

In the past week, I've transferred my newsletter over to beehiiv from Substack, changed all the links everywhere, and made some progress on a short story for this year's anthology. #amwriting

You know how movies will have a montage of a couple going to the farmer's market, walking on the beach, etc.? A lot of romance novel writing is figuring out what the heck they're talking about through all of that. 🥰 #amwriting #romancelandia #writesky #romancebooks

Trying to write while watching football - I finally had an IDEA for a story that I need to write soon, and now I'm sitting down to work it out. #amwriting

And I can't send out this year without celebrating that I had a story in an anthology produced by my local writers group! Love on the Lakefront, including my story called "Caught Looking," is available now: books2read.com/loveonthelak...

Quote post. Text reads: “... there would be no crushes. No distractions. Just baseball.

Even as she told herself that and tried to refocus on the players on the field, she spent the rest of the game fervently hoping, for more than one reason, that she’d never have to see this attractive stranger ever again.”

From “Caught Looking,” a short story by Sylvie Fielder

I write erotic books! People constantly call them soft porn. Or sometimes not-so-soft porn. LOL They are plenty deep, and their purpose is many-layered! But even if that wasn't true, we do not through sexual content under the bus! The people trying to ban books think all romance is porn!

Did a little math, and I added 19,966 words to the second draft of my big WIP in November! Not quite NaNo level, and maybe a little less far than I wanted to be at this time, but I'll take it! #AmWriting #WriterSky

Not to reopen a discourse, but I'm watching Twisters again. When people talked about the no-kiss-situation, I think we didn't talk enough about how she really seemed to love that guy she was with at the beginning, and how terrifying that whole opening sequence was.

All these winter transaction updates for baseball teams, players moving, coaches hired, and I wish my brain would stop seeing a story premise in every single goddamn one of them because I already have too many things to finish

Baseball teams acquiring players with iffy stats is relatable to every woman who has ever looked at a man and whispered “I can fix him.”

This point about horror and romance is so true. It is such a skill to write something that reaches beyond the page and makes readers feel.

Sarah's description of the upcoming Lorraine Heath made me laugh because I accidentally confessed to a bunch of fellow writers this weekend that I am absolutely garbage for any version of desert island/feral boy/lost in the wilderness romances 😅

As a historian of sex ed and a romance reader, I love this piece from @alexandravasti.bsky.social about what information the young women characters in Bridgerton or Austen novels would have had about sex. #romancelandia 🗃️ www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/rege...
