Just stayed up all night reading a recommendation…
I’ll just say that I’ve previously worked as a ☎️ seggs operator that specialized in k!n< and none of it prepared me for this book. #smutsky #smutreader #ireadfilth #booksky

She also walked to the bed even though she was already sitting on it a few sentences before. And in one scene they magically switched rooms twice.

They also had the MMC undressing then suddenly he was undressing again. Somewhere in the paragraph between his clothes jumped back on him.
And the FMC went from only wearing a towel to being in clothes back to a towel again.

I continued and it just got worse. A character suddenly became the owner of the establishment then switched back to being a customer (I’m guessing they were originally the owner then decided during edits to have them be a customer instead?)

Reading a book and the author changed from FMC POV to MMC POV, then back again, in the same paragraph. I’m now emotionally broken. #writingcommunity #booksky

I enjoy books that remind me to keep believing in love…and hot, sweaty seggs, with hot, sweaty men. Those are the books that win me over.

It just started pouring rain. Something tells me that I won’t be going to bed early after all…
Something about rain makes me want to put on water for tea, curl up under a blanket, and write.

My operating instructions are so simple. If I write during the day I'm happy, and if I don't get to write I'm grouchy. That's it.

Have a great writing weekend, writers!

Poor character written by an author who has experienced poverty: My problem is that I'm $300 short on the rent and now my car is making a noise

Poor character written by a rich author: My problem is that I feel so inferior beside these beautiful, sophisticated rich people

I once lost more 3 chapters (the night before a partial submission was due) because I trusted the autosave. My computer had some type of glitch and 3 1/2 years later those words are still missing. And now I’m paranoid about saving every other minute.

The worst part of being a #romanceauthor that primarily writes #christmasromance ?
Attempting to watch Christmas movies that aren’t romance make me fidgety.
Except Home Alone, Elf, A Christmas Story, & Die Hard.
Miracle on 34th St (the original) & It’s a Wonderful Life can hold my attention too.

A meme with a picture of a happy and put together couple driving together in a car, the caption says "Leaving 2019" and then the second frame shows the couple looking completely broken and defeated as they drive (most likely in silenceπŸ˜…). The caption under it says: Entering 2025... πŸ˜‚

Up, writing at 4:30am, this song on repeat because it’s become the inspiration for my novella. The novella that has me still awake because the characters refuse to let me sleep until I put their words on screen. Hopefully their story will be ready by spring
