Hill I will die on:
“This book was very fast and fun to read so it couldn’t have been that well-written” isn’t the astute observation you think it is.

The good news: I’m almost ready to query again.
The bad news: I’m almost ready to query again. 😬

you can’t trust writers bc they’ll be like “i love my characters, they’re literally like my children”, then put them through the worst suffering imaginable

“that’s my girl” scenes in romance books do make me want to cry, scream, die, all in the best ways

I just love that so many romance books can be described as, "two idiots falling in love."
Like, yes. Give me that mess. I have a mighty need.

I actually love romance novels where the heroine is a little bit of a bitch or an asshole. Especially if she has a wicked character development arc and spends 80% of the book dishing out hell. IT IS THE BEST.

Let your heroine be messy. Let her make bad choices, behave selfishly, & speak in anger. No woman is always selfless & kind, but so often heroines (like real women!) are expected to be perfect. Fuck that. Give me the disaster heroine and let us revel in her imperfect glory 🙌🏻

Me to other writers: Your first draft doesn't need to be perfect! It's okay to make mistakes!💖✨
Me to myself: I stg if you don't get this right the first time I will destroy everything you love 🔪💀

Today, re-reading your draft’s early chapters because you forgot what your own book was about, counts as writing.
