I know this is a radical statement, but nothing makes me more excited to draft a book than finishing a detailed outline.

This exactly.

Emotional reactions I want to have while writing/reading certain romance tropes:

Second chance → Destroy me or it didn’t happen.
Enemies to Lovers → I need to laugh out loud at least twice.
Friends to Lovers → I want to release the breath I didn’t know I was holding.
Forbidden Love → Make me sweat.

I am living for this #CowboyCarter moment. The earth shook when she showed up at the 2022 Grammys in that cowboy hat. The establishment has been told. The CMAs have found out. 🤠

Reading the news this morning was physically painful. Is anyone else walking around feeling like the world is shrinking and someone's stealing all the air?

AUGUST LANE is up on NetGalley. Time to block every website that mentions my name.

Me too! Hope you like it!

Um, of course.

I can see that. I started with adult romance in the early 2000s and so it's the same for me with dual 3rd POV.

I posted this question on Threads and Substack, and most readers said they didn't notice a difference when they read. Many authors worry about this, so I hope they're paying attention.
