Selba is engaged at the beginning of her story (👀)

Good: be consistent, accept only the feedback that helps you grow, read a lot, keep learning, make friends with other writers
Bad: “show don’t tell” (iykyk), never use adverbs, only write what you know, write 1,000 words a day, “realistic” = good, “said is dead”

Fav line from DeadGirlsWIP:
"They swam with some unknowable thought — which was strange, and terrible, because there was a time when Selba knew every thought in Valerie’s head. When she could pluck them from the ether just as easily as she could her own."

I usually describe my work as SFF romance, though I tend to genre-bend a lot within that "SFF" label.
I read fantasy, sci-fi, and horror, as well as many subgenres of romance.
