Gotta love a co-author catch up where you both admit you've done Jack shit on the to do list this week... but have had fun on all the less pressing stuff... like covers... and logos... and organising to do lists... 😅😉 #writer #booksky #author
Thank you for sharing, it's encouraging to hear a tale of perseverance. Congratulations !
Right! Couldn't have put it better myself. This one had me looking at the single dad trope differently.
The longer you keep it in the better it sounds until you become delusional. X? Y? Mr Z? Why not? At least in my experience anyway.
That's me today. Flat out refuse to do anything but read and snack all all day. (Devoured Timber Wolf in one day and 8 cups of tea thanks to the freebee from @cemurphy.bsky.social & now I'm onto Sarah's story and cup number 9)
My chores & to do list? In the bin. But hey it keeps the gremlin happy!
LMK your eta on finishing that- it sounds awesome. Gotta set an alarm for when you've got it ready to read!
Congrats!!! What a rush! (Motoring sport pun attempted?)
It really is! Now I've just got to plug my own plotholes which is less fun 😅
Thank you for the service of all brave book deliverers. Is there a guild of delivery people? I feel like the should be, with awards and recognition.
Billionaire Romance Galore! We've been working on fleshing out a series taking one of my favourite tropes (marriage of convenience) and having a whole lot of fun with all the potential spins on it. It's been great to also put our own UK spin on a traditionally US based trope. #booksky #romance
That's amazing! Congrats!! Is it just steady progress or how has it been building?
Miscommunication is a really interesting one because if it's lazy I hate it, but if It's realistic (let's face it, 90% of relationship issues are miscommunication) its fine. I really am vexed by the "No critical thinking skills" fmc, that puts me off big time and goes right with miscommunication
Tbf the whole sports genre is a mystery to me - do you have any basketball reccs?
Thanks for taking the time to respond to me, your answers have been super helpful 🥰
That is really interesting. Is this the kind of insight you can really only get from knowing people in the know or how do you keep on the pulse of these things?
Its not a shock but it is frustrating - I've been working on my billionaire romance series for a while now and hoped to publish this year. But hey - I guess that's just the way of things.
1000% to the point that all the ones I write have somewhere fun to live - landed gentry estates, London Manor House, Scottish castle, Peak District Farm... maybe i need to add cabin in the woods to my list though!
Absolutely not I would be destroyed. And I love all of them so much.
That said I'm now craving a book that manages to have all of those tropes in. If I can't find one I might have to write it myself 😅
I love wallowing in a subgenre until I get sick of it. I did cowboys a while back 🤠 (obviously Elsie Silver is a must) and now I'm considering hockey since I've not yet read a single one of that type 😱
That's such a cute idea! I love it ❤
This sounds so good! Added to my tbr 🥰 the title is incredible as well
This sums up a lot of how I explain the romance genre to people unfamiliar with it. This article focuses on non-human MMC romance but it rings true for the complex relationship all MMC's have with reality. I write billionaire romance, with billionaires who are as much a fantasy as an alien barbarian
I don't trust my self control so spaced out would work better for me. That said from your perspective if you released them all at once I defo wouldn't forget to read them so I'd binge the series and you get my readership anyway maybe even a better guarantee?
I see the temptation I really do (it's forced onto you everywhere, even on canva now), but people also need to see it reflects thier work also. Who's to say the book isn't AI written? Plotted? Snuck in there?
That's too cute im dying 😭 🥰
I mean in a way, an honor to the roots of learning? My mum taught kids to read for 40 years and swore blind comic sans was the single best font for teaching kids thier letters
No, honestly this is facts. Then "real life" has the audacity to go and get in the way too 😅
I love love love being on the tube and seeing another woman with a discreet cover for a book I know for a fact is FILTH. I see you. I support you. Even better if its thier commute to work - take your time back girlie 😅

I really fail to see how violent flashbacks to primary school support writing 😅
