Now that Heated Rivalry s1 has wrapped up I've been coping by listening to episode recaps by the finest hockey bros in all the land, i.e. What Chaos and Empty Netters, and I am so charmed by these guys, who are diving head-first into a genre they have zero experience with, but also. Also.
good morning, I have noticed that some of the critical responses to the Crave show Heated Rivalry have been, let's say, incomplete
sex scenes are craft! goddammit!
These comps 😍
I want to read this right now!
Writing a novel right now feels like I'm doing it on the deck of the Titanic as a comet is headed to Earth and also I'm covered in fire ants. I'm sure it's fine. Just don't blame me if every fifth paragraph is something like WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS THIS HAPPENING IS ANYBODY EVEN READING THIS OH GOD

I've taken my small knitting scissors on multiple flights without any issues. I think the blades have to be under a certain length (3 in, maybe?), but you should be able to find the specifics on the airline website.
This is brilliant.

Writing and reading romance is an act of positive psychology and an act of resistance. Keep pissing them off, #Romancelandia!
One of the best pieces of advice to hear for basically everything is: the time will pass anyway.
Whether it is transitioning, or a health goal, learning how to play music or make art or speak a language or whatever.
No matter how long that'd take to do: that time will pass anyway
I need to feel something. Please tell me your favorite first kiss scene in a romance novel!

I’m only a failure by human standards. if I was a children’s book badger in an apron I’d be like “whoa this house is massive, and I own so many cheeses and jams.”
Time again for the NYT’s Best Romances of 2024, as chosen by me: A single fallible human reader, admittedly widely read, but with a finite amount of time and energy after the events of this horrible year.
In sum: lotta romances about grief in here.

Thank you!
Would love to be added!
I think about it all the time.
Yes!
I totally agree! I love that book so much. I’ve actually re-read it more than any of the other Wallflowers.
From Secrets of a Summer Night:
“Let me spoil you,” he whispered. “Let me take care of you. You’ve never had anyone to lean on, have you? I’ve got strong shoulders, Annabelle.”
I’VE GOT STRONG SHOULDERS 🫠
It will never not annoy me that anything grim is automatically seen as subversive, whereas anything joyful is seen as pedestrian or even conservative, when oftentimes it’s the other way around.
Badly!
#MSWL I'm closed to queries at the moment, BUT...I will ALWAYS be open to INDIGENOUS VOICES. This is a special passion of mine, yet I don't have a single Native American author or story. If this describes you/your project, PLEASE REACH OUT! I will open a link for any Indigenous creator (fiction).
