Watching some Hazbin Hotel theory short because it popped up in my feed, and the person says, “Valentino has terrible taste in men. Just look at his relationship with Vox.”
I mean, YEAH??? 💀💀💀
The theory itself is irrelevant, but that line killed me.

I feel bad for Jayde, but this line (from Afterglow) is so funny out of context

atm, I do most of my writing at my wife’s sketch-ass hobbled together PC desk bc my laptop has been acting up, but I’ve also been attending weekly write-ins at a local queer advocacy center. I think getting out of the house helps reduce distractions, but I only have weekends free.

The main series takes place during summer, but most of the Sidetracked characters are college age.
Jayde, Rose, & Night (+ a few other side characters) go to a local community college (Riverview Community College). Ice is a student at Stanford University.

Dear world:
Instead of, you know, sucking, could you please give my friends enough sales that they can quit their jobs and write or make art full time if they want to? Please.
Love,

I guess any book/series with a confident badass fighter FMC, tall dark handsome super masculine (mean) MMC/love interest, and an actual competent antagonist who puts more than 5 seconds of thought into anything he does would be a decent anti-comp for Sidetracked. 💀

Share some ANTI-comps (things that are totally OPPOSITE from your WIP)!
You could also try reframing your WIP as a totally different genre. What would it look like if your romance was now horror?

I’m doing great—way better than I expected—but I have a sneaking suspicion that my first draft will be longer than 40k words. lol
I gave myself until the end of the year to finish drafting. At this rate, I might finish by the end of November instead.

wrote another 1413 words bc I apparently love writing scenes that involve characters talking shit about Ice Monroe
logic brain says I should cut MOST of this scene (it’s too long), but James reveals a few bombshell secrets, so it will be difficult working out what should stay or go 🥲

I’ve written 2000 words of Jayde & James talking shit about Ice in a scene that was mainly meant to be a brief transition.
It’s fun, but we’ll see how much of the conversation survives editing. lmao
