My aura was captured at Silver Moon Curios.

I'm watching a show focused on a heavy forty-something single woman with $200 in her bank account whose story still matters and is worth attention and care. Her life echoes mine and I am feeling more valuable somehow as I watch it unfold. I hope you decide to join me in watching SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE.

I started a draft of a new romance novel, got 10 pages in, and realized . . . I was bored. My FMC was even boring, and I didn't know how to flesh out the MMC.

Any suggestions for getting a romance off to a rousing start?

How do romance readers and writers feel about MCs in recovery for substance abuse or dealing with a significant mental health issue?

Currently reading Jamie Wesley's A LEGEND IN THE BAKING and loving it! I breezed through the first book in this series and will probably do the same with this one. Such great characters!

Do any of you romance novelists have any suggestions for resources on plotting? I have read Romancing the Beat but nothing else.

#MSWL I'm closed to queries at the moment, BUT...I will ALWAYS be open to INDIGENOUS VOICES. This is a special passion of mine, yet I don't have a single Native American author or story. If this describes you/your project, PLEASE REACH OUT! I will open a link for any Indigenous creator (fiction).

Went for a walk with a friend this morning to get the creative juices flowing.

Following tons of romance and neurodivergent authors on here! I need to get inspired to start my romance novel.

Bluesky, meet me and Orson! I'm a late 40s blue-haired aspiring writer in the Austin metroplex and Orson is a 3 year old rescue mutt from Leander.
