There are plot holes, pacing problems, and an entire subplot that needs surgery. Anyway, look at these beautiful chapter headers I just spent an hour on. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AuthorLife #WritingProblems

My grandma wants the romance to get sexy by Chapter 3. My mother thinks the male lead is a walking red flag and keeps asking why the FMC doesn’t just leave. Meanwhile I’m sitting there defending enemies-to-lovers like it’s a doctoral thesis. #WritingCommunity

I know! That's why I'm doing these 2 columns with double-sided printing and the font size that borderline easy- squinting read😂 I have heard suggestion to invest in the laser printing machine though!

Sedona 🤍 @wrotebysedona.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

We all love some good trauma and suffering for sure. I might drop it on my husband's desk for a week before I start editing, just in case he's curious. 🫠😂

Fellow authors… are we still printing manuscripts to line edit, or am I just emotionally attached to suffering? 😂✍️📚 #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AuthorSky #WritersOfBluesky #BookSky

TYSM for offering! I’m currently keeping beta feedback to a small informal group while I figure out next steps, but I really appreciate you reaching out. 🥰

Looking back, my first draft notes said: vibes, plot, trauma, Bangkok traffic, and apparently every blue squiggly line known to Microsoft Word. They are begging for help. 😂 #AmEditing #WritingCommunity ##WriteSky

Me editing a spicy scene: Draft 1🌶️: tasteful. restrained. emotionally grounded. Draft 2🌶️🌶️: perhaps… 20% more feral? Draft 3🌶️: no no, we are literary. Draft 4🌶️🌶️🌶️: but what if the yearning has consequences. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmEditing #RomanceWriters #RomanceBooks

Had to try this trend for Tethered by Shadow because apparently my book is either “dark political romantasy with dangerous magic” or “girl gets magic rabies and falls into the world’s most inconvenient situationship.” Both are correct. #TetheredByShadow #Romantasy #BookSky #WritingCommunity

When a shared injury reluctantly brings a champion figure skater and NHL-bound hockey player together, they must decide if their love for the ice outweighs their resentment for each other. Welcome to SIX MINUTES ⛸️🏒💙 #QuestPit #R #A #Q #AgentsGuide

The Blurb: Parker Knight and Barret Keats share two things—their love for the ice and an injury that’s jeopardized both of their futures. Determined to compete in her senior year before leaving her grueling coach and hometown forever, Parker strikes up a deal that could make or break both their careers: he helps her get back on the ice, and she pulls strings to give him one last shot at the NHL. Consumed by the idea of making it pro, Barret finds himself not only fixated on HOCKEY, but the girl that holds his future in her hands. As the season begins, Parker must decide if her passion for the ice, and her feelings for Barret, outweighs her need to leave it all behind.

He killed a prince to save the kingdom. Now a fallen inquisitor, he’s been hired to find a missing ambassador, and the deeper he digs, the more it looks like saving the kingdom was a mistake. INQUISITOR FOR HIRE - multi-POV, 89k words #QuestPit #A #F #DF #Q

Inquisitor for Hire Comps. For fans of The Tainted Cup’s genre-bending fantasy mystery, and the political darkness of Grave Empire, with the strange, decaying world of Mordew.

Tropes for Inquisitor for Hire: He saved the kingdom. He might have been wrong.

Fallen hero / disgraced legend
Chasing a vanishing truth
A secret the city was built to hide
Justice isn’t clean
Reluctant family forged under pressure
A power that takes more than it gives
Corruption at the highest level

AFTER A RECKLESS ACT LEAVES
VELA A CAPTIVE ON A

Snippet
He turned to the witch-who, in some instances, had become like a friend to the captain, in only a way that a man without humanity and a centuries-old witch could be. An unspoken agreement hung between them. "Why did you agree to teach me? I have heard that no one leaves your cottage alive." The captain said.
"The blood shows all. Men want power, they want riches, they want to be adored and envied.
Their blood is sour, thin, and undeserving. Yours was thick and hearty but mostly full of sorrow.
It held the story of a man greatly wronged.
Revenge is a form of fate. Destiny and vengeance go hand in hand if the universe deems it a worthy enough cause. And destiny, it seems, is not finished with you quite yet."

TW: Blood Late to the party but here it is! #Questpit #A #F #W Querying in the next few months. BLOODLETTING has: 🩸A blood magic system inspired by my history with self harm 🩸An estranged, angsty brother-sister relationship 🩸An enemies to lovers subplot (the knife-to-the-throat kind)

Collage of images:

The Sister: a bloody hand, fields of grain, a knife held behind the back, an eyeball
The Brother: a raven, a bloody sword, a man in all black atop a horse, a man holding his head in his hands

At this point, if agents liked my #QuestPit post the way fellow authors do, I’d be signing a book deal tomorrow. There goes my delulu of the day 🫠

I beta read this story and I can promise, you won't be disappointed to give this a read! The prose is beautiful and immersive, the worldbuilding is deep and full of cultures. Please request her full and thank me later, seriously.

Oh my YES!! I screamed at your characters, at you the author, for ruined me with this story!! Lucky it was on Google Docs otherwise I would need a whole new set of highlighters based on how much I LOVE the prose!

You are one of the reason I keep this going! Someone just need to love Nyx and Kaine and much as you do! Well also the parasite. 😂

This screams good vibes only to me. Loved it!
