a girl with a red braid and a nonbinary person with nature tattoos scowl at each other.
I am absolutely SCREAMING over this character art of Alice and Briar from my New Adult Queer Parent Trap novel!
Thank you, @odettelocke.bsky.social for bringing them to life.

“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?”

Share the first kiss from your book 💕
From my WIP:

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.
A snippet from my romantasy meets workplace romcom WIP for #fridaykiss 🌶️📚

Mine is either Stephen from Paladin’s Grace or Wendell Bambleby from the Emily Wilde books. I can’t decide!
That’s so hard. Wishing you rest, comfort, and space to be not fine when you’re not 💗💗💗

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)

Congratulations!! 💕
Aw thank you! 💖
My WIP is like if a spicy romantasy and a workplace romcom had a child and that child was neurodivergent 🌶️📚
A window into the MCs’ field of work for today’s #wipsnips prompt, “neighbor.” #amwriting #writingcommunity
WIP MMC is "scrubbing his hand over his face" today, it's getting serious. #writingcommunity #authors #romancelandia
Love when they do that 😍
🤩
When the main character finally admits she likes being praised 🌶️📚

Ahh Judah, the man I love to hate ❤️ There’s something about him, though…
Seconding The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches! Adored that one and found the stakes very personal and compelling.
That’s such a good idea. Character consistency when switching between them is hard 😵💫
There are so many different possible interpretations! And when you've got a character known for having a hot voice, I imagine the nuance is even more important. Wishing you the best and, as an audiobook girlie, so hyped for if this becomes a reality!
An iconic and beautiful way to go about this process 😂💕 My notes app brainstorming for this book looks something like that
I had so much to say I just quoted your comment and made a whole post about it 😅
Then I filled in every scene in between. From there I could move things around, notice where there were gaps, and see how the pacing was working. Before I knew it, the results of this process were sneaking their way into my draft! (3/3)
I made a spreadsheet with columns for each plot point and rows for the main and internal plots. Then I added rows for any other element I wanted to track throughout the story—each MC's emotional journey, the romance arc, world building stuff, shifting power dynamics, miscellaneous notes… (2/3)
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
As soon as I read the title of chapter three I knew I would love it…and then it wildly exceeded expectations 🥵 Also a Lust for Tomorrow audiobook??!! 😭💕
“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)
