Some authors write entire family trees.

And then there's me...

...who doesn't even know my main character's last name.

I'm intrigued by your title! What genre is this?

Who makes the first move?

Hahaha...older siblings ALWAYS find out 😂

Ooooo...this gave me chills.

Ya...that definitely moves your plot line fast!

I'd say an apocalypse as a ticking clock that can't be ignored!

My WIP felt like it was dragging and then I 🖤REALIZED🖤...

...It needed a "ticking clock." There needs to be a deadline for my characters to accomplish their goal, or else ☠️

💬 What "ticking clocks" are in your books?

Sometimes it's not about what you need to add to your novel, but what you need to remove 🖤

Where is the line for when the tragic back stories are too tragic?

I might have just crossed it 😬

I posted this to threads, and was told in no uncertain terms that if I market it as a Romantasy it HAS to have a HEA/HFN...so I'm probably going to just call it a Fantasy

If the main couple doesn't end up together at the end of the book/series, is it still considered a #Romantasy?

I'm working on a contemporary fantasy. What about you?

What do you mean I actually have to WRITE the book inside my head in order for other people to understand exactly WHY I'm so obsessed with it?!?

Is it any surprise that I struggle coming up with my characters' last names when my phone contact list literally looks like this 😅

Drop the title!

Dark fantasy is my bread and butter...but if there's such a thing as a cozy thriller, I'd be intrigued 😉

What's a word you always misspell?

Mine is GREATFUL 🤫

I've reached that point in writing my novel where I can't avoid it any longer. I need to sit down and...

PLOT 💀

Authors when we should be writing, but get caught up in rereading what we already wrote.

I'm not going to meet my goal of finishing a first draft of my WIP before the new year 😔

But...that means I already have one of my goals for 2026 ready to go 😅
