Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Currently going through the emotional rollercoaster of hating everything I have written. Praying this is that thing where hating your draft actually means it's good... #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

I took a day off to clean my garage and do some work around the house, but I've been sitting here writing almost non-stop. Apparently procrastinating and threatening myself with chores is how I motivate myself to write now. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Took a break from writing because my day job has been absolute torture, but now the total lack of a creative outlet is making me restless. I can't win 🫠 #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

My wife and I had never seen Twilight before so we actually sat and watched it this weekend. It really answered a lot of questions I had about 2009...

My brain violently rejects any sense of routine, so I cannot fathom how to set a "reasonable expectation" for my writing goals. What do your word count goals look like, and what time period are we setting them over? (help me please god 🫠) #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #Romancelandia

Taking a break from drafting to work on my book cover. Leaning towards some cool typography, and seeing what I can come up with. Screw your AI covers!

I can't do slow burn romance. I much prefer an explosive, desperate hookup and the brutal psychological aftermath. #Sapphic #WIP #EnemiesToLovers #WritingCommunity #AmWriting 🌶️📚💙

I finished all 70 chapter outlines for The Rose in the Lion's Den over the weekend, so it's finally time to go through and draft all of them properly. I am excited but exhausted, think I need a little break so I don't burn out 😵‍💫 #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #Romancelandia #Sapphic 🌶️📚💙

Sam is a chart-topping pop star; Lee is an underground alternative prodigy. They think each other's music is garbage, but the wild attraction between them has twisted into a brilliant high stakes game to see who breaks first. #Sapphic #WIP #EnemiesToLovers #WritingCommunity #AmWriting 🌶️📚💙

Everyone's favourite relationship tropes? Grumpy x sunshine will forever be my favourite, probably partly because that's just my wife and I ☀️🌙 #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #Romancelandia #Sapphic 🌶️📚💙

I am about halfway through writing all the chapter outlines for my book, which I think is going to end up being like 80 chapters. Yikes! 💀😅 #AmWriting #Romancelandia #Sapphic
