@letiziawrites.bsky.social and I
met during the golden age of Writer Twitter through Revpit posting games. 🐥💛📝

Since then, we’ve become CPs, friends, and even agent siblings (shout out to the great @morgan.c.hughes!). We can’t wait to share our books with the world!

As this round of revisions draws to a close, I’ve begun listening to my own novel draft with earbuds using the Read Aloud feature on the Microsoft 365 app. 📖🗣️

What a great way to catch awkward, wordy, or repetitive language while immersing yourself in the novel through a different sense!

Character inspo for the art I’m commissioning!!!

I’m deep in revisions for my travel romance (set largely in Sri Lanka), and Sandali and Cliff feel so alive to me…what better way to bring them to life for everyone else than with some character art (until you can read my book, that is 😉).

Look what was finally delivered! 📖🤗I was so excited to read Christine Letizia’s ( @letiziawrites.bsky.social ) engrossing short story, An Enchantment of Twelve. The voice! The slow burn! The spell! I devoured this magical morsel 💛✨🕯️ Congrats on being selected for this delightful anthology! 🎉

✂️✂️🚨CUT ALERT 🚨 ✂️✂️

Since completing the first (bloated) draft of my travel romance, I’ve cut 36,000 words! 🎉🎉🎉 Also, I got a cute haircut 💇🏽‍♀️.

My manuscript is tighter now and so much closer to ready! 💪🏽

Here it is, folks—my Revision Notebook! 📓🌺

After 3 weeks away from the 1st draft of my travel romance, I’ve returned to it with fresh eyes, taking notes as I read. I’m pleasantly surprised to find that despite its issues, I still love my story. Once I clean this baby up, I hope you will, too! 🥰📖✨
