Happy to elaborate! It all started when I attended an awesome workshop by @rebeccathorne.bsky.social on 5 sentence plotting. I thought it would be neat to use that method to reverse outline my current draft. You know, just for the love of sorting things into categories. (1/3)
I would like to know more about this. Tricking myself via spreadsheets sounds like a good plan.

SHOCKED to find that by nerding out about my plot structure and character arcs in an elaborate spreadsheet I have TRICKED myself into developmental editing 🌶️📚 #romancelandia #writerscommunity #amwriting

“Beg? That sounds like the sort of thing you would do on your knees” is the romance book dialogue line I CANNOT stop thinking about 🥰 (from Lust for Tomorrow by @danasweeneyauthor.bsky.social)
I read a book recently where the MMC tells the FMC that she’s indispensable to him and that line just hit so hard for me. Kind of similar in vein to the “not five fucking minutes” line in Marrying Winterborne. What are some of your favorite or most memorable romance novel dialogue?

This sounds SO GOOD! I love them already 😍
When linguist Maggie's academic building is infested with ghostly magic, she has to share her office with the famous (& famously broody) alchemist Arthur. To get her office back, she offers to help him get rid of the magic, all while trying to find the masked stranger she kissed on Beltane 🤿👻

to become a romance writer you can split your neuroses neatly into two characters and force them to fall in love with each other thereby finally accepting all your parts as lovable (don’t worry, becoming a writer will grant you brand new neuroses)
This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
