Writing my new romance from the male’s pov, and he can get quite emotional. Some might call it unrealistic, but imma call it representation 🤭

I don’t doubt there are men like him who are super in tune with his feelings and can’t wait to write more!!

Moodboard Comp titles: Lynn Painter’s Better Than The Movies; Ann Liang’s This Time It’s Real; Tashy Bhuiyan’s Counting Down With You; Laura Taylor Namey’s A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow; Jenny Han’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before Maggie Wang lives by her tiger mom’s rules—even her crush ticks all the right boxes. But when she finally works up the courage to confess to the perfect guy, he’s too oblivious to look beyond their friendship. Desperate to turn his head, Maggie hatches a plan: snag a fake date to his hockey team’s skate party and make him jealous, as long as she can survive her clumsy self on the ice.
Enter Nathan Myers—the team grump. Once he agrees to be her stand-in, everything seems simple enough: he’ll teach her how to skate, and she’ll put up with his attitude. Only the more time they spend together, the more Maggie discovers a gentle teddy bear hidden beneath Nathan’s gruff exterior. For the first time, she wonders if it’s okay to let go of certain expectations—being herself might actually be enough.
But Nathan’s a wild card with no college plans. He doesn’t fit in the future Maggie’s mom has mapped out for her. Trapped between the family expectations and her growing feelings, she must decide whether breaking the rules is worth it with the boy who’s becoming more than just a fake date. #tropes and elements

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

when she asks if he noticed her new haircut

but he’s memorised her morning hot chocolate order, has noticed the way she chews her cheek when she’s nervous, has memorised the way her nose crinkles when she’s laughs and remembers how she blushed over him in high school
