Me: Iโ€™ll write a sweeping historical romance with depth and nuance

Also me: Googling "words that start with S"

Present me: Googling if "google" is capitalized as a transitive verb

Anyone else read "Debrett's" as "Debra" in their head?

*Writing Character Arc*

Wait, does the heir apparent keep a courtesy title if I kill off the father?

Does the mother become a dowager before or after her son takes the title and marries?

Hang onโ€”hey, Debra?! . . .

Sticker Saturday! The slow burn reveal of my laptop adhesives continues.

Mr. S teases I carry books around like a teddy bear, and I'm like, kinda, yeah.

Even if I don't open the book, sometimes just knowing it's there, or just getting to hold it, is enough.

โœ๏ธPlot notes:

โ€œLady Janeโ€ is fine if her father is a viscount, earl, marquess, or duke.

If married to a baron, sheโ€™s โ€œLady Jane". But "Baroness Whateverโ€ if she's already a Baroness in her own right.

A dukeโ€™s daughter who married a commoner? Still โ€œLady Jane.โ€

Peerage fun facts for my fellow ๐Ÿ’— historical lovers-lovers.

Not every โ€œLordโ€ is a peer. Some are just fancy judges. ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€โš–๏ธ

Baronets? Not peers. Kinda just hereditary land-owning overachievers with a title complex. ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐ŸŒพBut you can call them "Lord Whatshisface".

Iโ€™mma slow burn it for you with my laptop stickers.

Starting w this gem bc Iโ€™ll never look at a hay maze (or baseball cap or hot tub or front porch) the same way after Heartless. *I* will never be the same after Heartless.

Hi, my name is Elizabeth, & Iโ€™m attempting to become a first time romance author.

๐Ÿ‘‹ May your day be filled with modifiers that do not dangle, dialogue tags that default to โ€œsaidโ€, and Oxford commas that do not yield. Amen.
