You've got to be seen green
To show that you're stuff's layed
If you're not seen green
You better be wearing jade

You've got to be dead red
You've got to be real hot
So throw away those green gems
And wear rubies on your yacht

Errands + What I Like About Writing | Vlogmas Day 20 🎥🎅🏿

Because we consume so much media, most people can sense when something isn't "right," even if they don't have the language for it. That is what I love about being an author.

I assumed this story would be under 90K & with only two more chapters left I’m feeling pretty good about that prediction.

I’m shaking at this milestone. Contemporary MM Romance for the win. It’s a lot of drama, misunderstandings, blood and Black men in love.

What if mourning that “would be” relationship is making space for you to discover a deeper love and understanding within yourself?

This man (this song) has been on my Black Vampire WIP playlist forever and a day.

I love this song so much that I end up playing the BV WIP playlist even when I’m working on my Contemporary Romance book (which has its own playlist) 😂

I think this ending is taking me so long because I don’t want it to end.

I am having a hell of a time writing & exploring both the characters and the city,

& even tho this is book 1 of 3 (I’ll have more time to explore) I just don’t want the party to end. Lol.

But I want someone to stand & fight,
Stand & fight for me

Been #amediting for the last week. I’ve had to fight with myself to not read the book instead of actually editing.

One things for certain & two things for sure, I love these characters.

Maybe this will be under 90K after all. I'm not hellbent on any number. Whatever word count it happens to be is what it happens to be.

But with the way my outline was laid out & how quickly I moved through the first Act, I assumed this WIP surpass 100K
