I have playlists for manuscripts too, but I don't always listen to them. Depends on the day and what vibe I need!

Usually coffee or an energy drink (Alani is my go to). In the summer it's usually coffee because I'm less exhausted than during the school year.
Music depends on what I'm working on! Sometimes it's my regular everyday playlist and sometimes it's a hyperspecific one! What do you usually listen to?
I always require some form of caffeine and music. Noise canceling headphones are a must a lot of the time if I want to really stay focused. My cat is usually nearby to judge me while I work too😂

Hi fellow #CRPSirens!
I'm Kate & I write contemporary romance. My book, OVERCOMING, is currently in the trenches & I'm working on a new project that's friends ➡️ strangers ➡️ lovers. My intention is to set aside time specifically to work on this during #CampRevPit. Hoping to make some new friends too!
Thank you!😊

A poster, featuring an illustrated portrait of Aubeline de Sterraux from A LEGACY OF BLOOD AND BONE. She is a white woman with brown hair tied in an intricate hairstyle. She wears a black dress with puffed sleeves and white earings. Aubeline is shown kneeling and praying, her head looking up. The top of the poster is colored, and the bottom part is black and white, the two part being separated by a red stain reminiscent of blood. The title of the book is in the center. Underneath is more text reading "A novel by Millie Abecassis," then a quote by April Yates reading "A gothic gem, rich with dread, desire, and a magic system as haunting as it is original." Under the quote are the names of several characters, listed as if they were actors: Aubeline de Sterraux, Vinnie Anneton, Damarisse de Sterraux, and "unhinged dudes." At the top are Cannes festival-style quotes reading "dangerous body-based magic" and "slow-burn sapphic romance."
Can't wait for Franchaela in Bridgerton's fifth season? While you wait, shall I suggest my sapphic historical fantasy filled with family drama, dangerous magic, and so much yearning?
