Victoria McDonald Author | 📚✍️ ☕️🏈

Was sitting at my favorite coffee shop, working, chilling, having a grand old time when my head phones died.

I left them in but I was forced to listen to the same old white dude share the same story on how he watched CK’s event…. And much more…

Needless to say - I wrote a m*rder scene today.

lol.

#WIP progress report - mom life got in the way of reaching my goals for this month, but I'm not that far off from a completed first draft. I'm going to hide away for a few days and catch up.

Change of venue helping the workflow - flow today.

Ever have conversations with your characters like they are your besties??
We're over here having some unhinged conversations while I fold small human's laundry.
It's wild.

I will get the writing done today.
I will not get distracted.
I will be productive.
Oh, Look, the sun came out...

I’m freaking dying with how Briar messes with Ollie VB. Andi Arndt and Christian Fox did a great job bringing them to life.

How do you choose your next romance read?
Is it the cover, a friend’s recommendation, or a blurb blurb?

Words we needed to hear.
Words that we need to spread.
Words we need to save for when this guy runs for the oval. Illinois needs him right now but I feel it’s in his future.

Mhmm.

✨Today’s Goal✨ Write a new Substack + get a few chapters done in my manuscript + plan out the rest of the month. Also, remember to drink the water sitting next to me - it's not just a pretty container. 🤓

Oh, I don’t know that one. Will have to peep it.

If you could live in any romance book setting, which world would you choose?

I wouldn't mind watching the drama unfold in C.J. Lucci's 'Isle of Beauty'. Do you think Alana needs an assistant?

Kid is back to school after a long weekend giving me the opportunity to sit with my #wip, this is a dramatization of my morning trying to get work done.

Don’t forget to try the authors webpage first, not all can distribute on their own (Amazon Publishing contract is stupid like that) but some will have them, and make the book mail cute.

Never heard of Backerkit… might have to peep it.

They’re doing project 2025, just like we said they would

… Yes, Sir.
