2026.08 Practice is the Point - Johanna Rothman My podcast this week is from the Writing Secrets book. (I think this is the last secret, but we will see.) Enjoy! Note: If you read these posts in an RSS reader or via my Feedblitz feed, you might not...

“If you want me in on this whole ‘playtime’ thing of yours, I never want to hear you say you’re broken again. Got it?” I drew myself as straight and tall as I could. I knew my ears were doing that angry thing that Rowan didn’t like seeing.
“But I am.” Eland shrugged.
I got ahold of his collar and pulled him down to my height. “Guess what you get to do every time you want ‘playtime’ now.”
Eland’s breathing had shallowed out with me snapping. “M-master?”
I gave him a mirthless chuckle. “You get to tell me something you like about yourself. Every god damn time. Got it?”
He ducked back in terror, but didn’t get very far with me holding onto him, putting a bit of magic into my strength or else he would have been able to pull away.
“Don’t tempt me with a good time. I’ll make you write it out twenty times every morning and keep it in a commonbook in that pocket I know lies next to your heart, vogeltje. Then, if I’m feeling particularly generous, I’m make you read them outloud to me every time you want to {}.”
“He’s really scary when he’s mad, Rowan!” Eland gulped.
“What color of cover, matchstick?” Rowan’s face lit up with the most merceless smile I’d seen on him up to this point.
“Something to match his eyes. I’ve always liked them.”
Eland was starting to panic at being praised, wiggling and tugging at his collar.
“I’ll see what I can do.” Rowan smirked.
“So, tell me, vogeltje: what is one thing you like about yourself?” I was going to enjoy this particular section of the power trip in playtime.
“I-I-I…” he stuttered, eyes going everywhere else but to mine.
“I think I like your eyelashes. They’re very fine, you know?” I kissed the spot between Eland’s eyebrows and he whimpered. “And the curve to this lower lip,” I traveled down to bite it. He started trembling. “Tell me, vogeltje, or I don’t let go of this collar and I keep going.”
He swallowed, gasping, not knowing what to do with himself.

Finished the first draft of my as-yet-unnamed WIP. Now deep into first revisions. It's the spiritual successor of Wish Servant, another strange tale set on an exotic island. #writingcommunity #horror #histfic #yabooks #croatia #korcula #wip #blender #itsrainingbooks #readers #writingwip #writingwip

First draft snippet

So kinda feel proud of what i wrote when i first started out on this project. Part of me still feels that concern of showing off too early what I am working on but as they say, you gain experience in whatever you do.

So here we go.

Been working on the Formula 1 romance between a driver and a race engineer. I've been focused on showing everything because it's such a team sport and has so many layers to it.🏎🎧

Firing Up sneak peek. 🏎📖🎧

I started working on an F1 romance. Meet Arisa Amano, Zacharie Allard's Race Engineer.

I'm just started, so some of this may slightly change in the end. Not their jobs within the team.🤣

When you're gender swapping a tall, stronk, demon MMC to a FMC and realize a smut scene you have is like in The Village where the MMC gets hung up by one of the vampire sisters. 🤣 I forgot I had written a scene with suspension cuffs. Enjoy, I guess.👀

Last night I mainly created a family of dragons. It was a huge amount of fun and also helped me figure out my main themes for books 4-9 of the series and solve some tricky plot points. A most productive few hours and who doesn't love dragons!

Wrote a bit more today of the setup for the confrontation. A quick snippet of that section. Ignore any typos or sentence structure. This is literally the first draft so the goal is to get out as much of it as possible and then edit later.

I will not reveal too much or indeed anything about his backstory, given that a more grown-up version of him ended up in my ongoing #writingWIP #3SupernaturalBoys (he's not a MC, but he is v important nonetheless).

from my notes on OG 19yo Luke:

but I also write a whole lot of erotic #poetry (some about very real experiences, some of a more daydream/storytelling variety), and my #writingWIP #3SupernaturalBoys is literally an Achillean #PolyamorousRomance about #MonsterBoys in love - very much character-driven spice with a sprinkle of plot!

Got through the prologue and a part of chapter 1. (Already had to do a bit of editing here and there =_=) Here's a little snippet of two of the main characters interacting.

Rudra just really enjoys trying out human "quirks" as he puts it.
