🌈 MM author of books full of mystery, romance, and snarky brats.
Lover of books, coffee, whiskey, and music. Not necessarily in that order.
I need to look into this more because sometimes, despite having an outline, I find I just sit and stare at my document like, "...what now?" which stresses me out, which means I'm not enjoying myself, and then I get irritated and give up lol.

I just picture a small piece of you dying every time I call it a blurb. 🤣 Love youuuu. 🩷

It's always the funniest and most painful part of early revisions when I do a search and highlight all the instances of a certain word. 🤣 My editor also tends to say throughout edits, "you might want to add this to your list" when she finds a new word I'm overusing LOL.

I have a whole list of words like this I search for during my revisions (including stuff I know I overuse hardcore). I don't always succeed in fixing them all, though lol. Work in progress!

God, I feel this in my soul lol.

I think I own the Emotional Craft of Fiction. It was intriguing because I'm, obviously, a psychology nerd and it felt like it would delve into that aspect of writing. But I haven't gotten a chance to read it yet. Shocker. 🤣

I love this so much!

This was an interesting read! I need to read some of his books. I think I own at least one.

I have this tendency to go with bodily reactions too much. My editor is always like, "you have a lot of stuff happening with people's hearts." 🤣😂 I need to work on that.

Oh, thanks for the reminder! I forgot about this.

This is interesting! I always struggle to write with writing prompts. I should really try some when I get blocked.
