My writer brain while watching KPop Demon Hunters:

How does Jinu know the 4 guys? Did they become friends in the demon world or did he pick randos? What’re their backstories? 🤔

The urge I have to delete words from a chapter just so the last line doesn’t start a new page 😅🙈

I’m loving that MAID FOR EACH OTHER (by Lynn Painter) mentioned the show Psych 😄 more people should talk about this show 🫶

SHIPPED X THE LOVE HATERS

💕 A romantic who doesn’t trust guys

😎 A walking red flag who’s only had 1 night stands

🤝 Teammates in a work competition where the stakes are high but the tension is higher.

Goal: win the promotions with their hearts intact.

Am I the only one who doesn’t make a playlist for their book? 😅 I don’t have songs that match scenes. It’s just silence & whatever is happening on the page. 😂

I already loved the cast but after listening to the audiobooks, I realized every one of them was a perfect match. 🫶

Reader math is like:

If I have 10 audiobooks on loan, at 10 hours each, and do 6 hours a day at 2.2x speed…with a 14 day limit…& 3 more loans come in on day 7…& 3 more on day 3…

SHIPPED X FLIRTING WITH DISASTER X THIS SUMMER WILL BE DIFFERENT

Working at an all-inclusive island resort is all fun and games until your one-night stand becomes your teammate in a competition that could lead to a promotion or termination.

New Girl meets Gilmore Girls when Leah is sent to live with strangers and work with a grumpy coffee shop owner to prove her work ethic, but as mishaps and banter ensue, tension rises like dough between Leah and Alaric, making her question her future plans.

Every time I read an ‘I need to marry to get my inheritance (which I desperately need)’ makes me wanna write one 😅 I love this trope.

I have 8 audiobooks waiting for me & decreasing in loan days & I still couldn’t DNF a 17 hr book that I was not invested in 🙈

Fingers crossed I fit all these in 🤞😅

My self-imposed writing deadlines & expectations are stressful but it feels SO GOOD when I meet them. 🥂

I’m back on track for revising a chapter a day. These next chapters will require more work though…

TPP draft started at 87200 & is now 92200 with revisions & I have 1/3 to go 😬🫣
Hopefully I can cut words when I read my finished draft…

Gosh I love TPP so much 🫶 it’s come so far & I adore these characters & story. If LYAL isn’t the one, I hope this one is. 🤞🙏

It’s usually something that serves the plot & fits their character. A couple of them got random non-taxing roles or jobs with varied schedules to make things easy.

How do you determine your MC’s profession? Sometimes, I just get a feeling about it. Other times, as I get to know them, I realize I’m not correct and I have to revise #writingq #WritingCommunity

Oh hey, it’s from my naked under blankets / only 1 stable scene. 😂

I step toward him, blanket to blanket, and kiss him. “Thank you for coming to check on me.”

Kid is napping.
Coffee is ready.
Headphones are playing roaring fire/rain to cover my other kid's playing.
Time to tackle Ch 7.
I'm on pace for my chapter a day goal to finish revisions by mid-July.

Do you have any summer goals?

That moment when you give in to completely rewriting a scene vs trying to squish CP comments into what you already have.
Sometimes it’s easier & more freeing. But it still takes me a long time to give in 😅 anyone else?

Can you guess which show inspired this 😂
MC about to massage LI:

“Do you happen to have wooden spoons or a rolling pin? I’ll settle for Hot Wheels cars.” Anything that keeps me from touching Jace. From remembering our night together. From searing new sensations into my brain.

I’m revising the opening of LYAL (the book #amquerying) & did a read through to ensure consistency with the changes. I hit the scenes at the end of act 2 & into act 3 & wow…I’m glad my writing craft has grown & that I could spot what needed to change. I’m glad I did a reread 🙏
