I have two quibbles with the Goodreads choice awards nominees: Gracie Gold should have been nominated for Best Memoir, and The Favorites is in the wrong category (it’s not a romance).

The #WIPSnips word for November 11th is “burger”

Across two completed manuscripts and three WIPs, this is somehow my only instance of “burger,” despite it being one of my favourite foods. From figure skating body swap WIP…

As this is her romance novel character archetype, Genevieve Cartier would be a black cat, which is fitting, because she owns a black cat.

#FiFRevPit I guess my main antagonist would be the rules that require Genevieve to be an American citizen to skate for the US in the Olympics.

But in the third act, [REDACTED] takes up a villain role.

I decided on Chloé early on, it just felt right for her.

BUT originally she was Chloé Martin from France. I made her Canadian instead, because I wanted the skating tour to visit her hometown. When I did, I changed her last name to LaFleur as an homage to Guy Lafleur.

What's your MC's name and why did you pick it for them? (Feel free to list other characters too!)

In figure skating fake marriage novel, it’s definitely Genevieve, the FMC.

But in Seasons On Ice Book 2, I’m enjoying writing Beth’s roommate (Kloe with a K) so much that I think I’m also going to make her the roommate in Book 3 (Niina and Hope, two characters we haven’t met yet). #FirstDraftFall
#FirstDraftFall Now that you've gotten into writing for First Draft Fall, who's your favorite character in your story?

I decided that in figure skating fake marriage novel, there will be interstitials between each chapter that are supposed to be threads from Figure Skating Reddit and I’m already having too much fun with these #writingcommunity #amwriting

I’ll also share a fun fact about me. There’s an obscure but super catchy pop song written based on a story from my life

#QueerWriters: Goal day

I’m going to Lake Placid for Skate America, but I’d still like to find the time to write at least 1000 words every day
#queerwriters Monday: Goals Day!

What do you hope to accomplish this week? Can be anything, big or small! Let us know so we can cheer you on!

Ooh, I love the idea of doing two truths and a lie

- I’m a CODA
- I live in the same house in which I grew up
- I own more than 300 jerseys

Corporate-style icebreaker jump scare 😱: tell us a fun fact about you, the author!

This is meant to be fun, so if "fun facts" make you cringe, feel free to adjust this prompt. You could do two truths and a lie, or just give us a non-personal fun fact that brings you joy.

The #WIPSnips word for November 10th is “local”

Even in Book 2, Chloé still loves pizza, though in this scene she’s taken Beth to Pizza Hut instead of a quality local restaurant

(Also, Beth not liking pepperoni isn’t just a random character quirk… there’s an important backstory there)

Mark Hanretty pointed this out during the gala, but it’s so impressive that the Taschlers can do three programs with three entirely separate vibes at one event. #NHKTrophy

I need my iPhone autocorrect to catch up to my #figureskating fandom. No, I did not mean “Brandie,” I meant “Bradie.” If I wanted to type Lorna, I would’ve typed Lorna. But I was typing Loena for a reason.

Finally watching the NHK Trophy gala. I knew I adored Samo, but skating to Baby One More Time cements it. #NHKTrophy #GPFigure

The #WIPSnips word for November 9th is "picture”

Kloe doesn’t believe in things like “decorum” and “tact”

Settled for writing 1100 words, but I’ve still been over 1000 every day in November.
Saturday plans:

- Visit my local indie bookstore to celebrate their birthday
- Drive to Atlantic City for Disney On Ice
- Finish listening to Forever, Interrupted on the drive
- Finish reading Nicole Bobek’s memoir
- Write at least 1500 words

#WritingCommunity #QueerAuthor
Got a bunch of admin work to do today, but hoping to get in some writing this afternoon/evening.

What are your Saturday plans?

If this results in more Chappell Roan programs, I’d be fine with it.
Also I just realised that there is a Worst Rhythm Dance Theme idea that would result in the most fan arguments and the most repeated music: Music of The LGBTQ Community
