Andrew Buckley "Humor is a very unifying thing that can be used to make horrible things just a little bit better in the way that we frame them...it's how we get through those moments." Writing Academy 2: Using Humor to deliver your message
We love humor and wit in sapphic romance, and not just in rom-coms. Writing effective humor is such a special skill, and it's one that can be developed or strengthened over time. Who are the funniest authors you've read?

Rita Potter "As a writer, you'll hear a lot of noise. People will to tell you what you should and shouldn't write. And some of these voices are loud, and if you don't listen, they'll leave bad reviews. But never let anyone steal your author's voice. Stay authentic, or you'll lose yourself." Writing Academy 2: Your characters need obstacles
Writing tip of the day
Stay true to your voice ๐

Tip of the day
Drafts, drafts, drafts. It's often the most frustrating and tedious part of writing, but necessary for a polished work.
