A devastating loss

thoroughly enjoying @dcraig.bsky.social's Thorns of a Black Rose – I'm about halfway through, and the worldbuilding and intrigue has me engrossed!

just passed 32k in the new draft – very happy with my momentum!

excited for the folks at @westscotwriting.bsky.social to review my sad, pathetic loser boy at this week's critique session

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

finally getting back to writing my novel. i've missed these horrible lesbians

How to write a synopsis for your novel The synopsis is a tricky beast, but it's an essential tool in pitching to agents. Read Anna's tips on how to write a really good synopsis for your novel...

The synopsis is a short, lively overview of your novel. It sits alongside the opening of your novel and your agent pitch letter in your pitch package, and it lays out the complete narrative arc of your plot 📈

Follow our top tips on how to write a really good one-page synopsis of your novel:

A graphic containing the following info: A call for beta readers! I’m looking to connect with people who are interested in beta reading my MM Paranormal Romance, Survival Instinct. Tropes/themes include: vampire/ werewolf pairing, himbo MC, Daddy kink, size difference, hurt/comfort Happy to engage in beta swaps with other queer romance writers. DM if interested

If anyone wants to engage in a beta swap, let me know!

Kit and Quin are two of my absolute faves. If you're into mutual stalking, irritation-to-lovers and jokes about watersports and foot fetishes, then you might be into Survival Instinct!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

This is a wonderful read – if you're in the mood for sharp dialogue, compelling characters, and a really fun romance, drop Marra a DM!

CONGRATS

I remember those people! That was WILD

and it slaps!

Agreed! Maybe a book with a big plot twist you can't remember?

Buoyed by last night's @westscotwriting.bsky.social critique club, and finally feeling ready to continue writing an exorcism in an exploded magical nuclear reactor!
