This is the first time Nikos and Samuel talk to each other, at the port, when Samuel's family bullies him into buying fish.

#WritingLifeMonthly August Day 04

Technically this touch isn’t involuntary, since Freja deliberately puts her hand on Chloé’s leg, but the tingle in Freja’s hand when Chloé touches her back is an unexpected reaction.

A snippet from the unedited first draft of 'Bid Time a Goodbye'. I guess there aren't any more unintentional brushes in the story 😁

I love writing these! It's an opportunity to jump into a truly positive space, and I just love savoring those vibes!

Unfortunately, this WIP doesn't have any cute brushing of hands or accidental touching. I just have involuntary touching on Noe's part 😆 #writinglifemonthly

I'm late to the party!

(Late) Day 1 - Organize my notes and reach the sixth elimination in my bachelor-esc multi-POV WIP. After that, I want to do an overall revision to fix some holes and mistakes I've discovered via crits I've received.

Lucky for me I start writing novels at the beginning.😂
About 30 years ago, Romee had the worst crush ever on that one background dancer. Guess who's standing in for their dance teacher with a fractured ankle...? 😏

(Late) Day 2 - This probably counts as more than a 'snippet,' but I enjoy this scene too much not to include the two pages.

(Late) Day 3 - This is the first time the love interest (Prince Adrian) speak with Gwyn. The POV from Day 2's #writinglifemonthly was from Bethany's POV. I forgot to give context that the Chosen all meet His Highness during a speed dating event to give them...

Day 4 - This isn't quite what today's #writinglifemonthly means by 'involuntary' touch, but I thought of this first! During the speed dating event, one of the 24 Chosen tries to be a little forward with Prince Adrian.
She didn't get to stay long after that.

I don't have a passage where they touch involuntarily. He is always mindful of her personal space (foreshadowing). And when she casually placed her hand on his arm, he pulled it away (foreshadowing).
Foreshadowing is fun! #WritingCommunity #RomanceWriters

It's not *technically* involuntary, but it is the first time they touch when they're getting along and don't want to murder each other.

I don't think there'll be any in 50 GOING 15. Romee is VERY aware of where Claude is and he's their dance teacher with touching included.
Might be fun to do the opposite where they have an oh-moment realising they DIDN'T notice he touched them. 🤔

I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for that first, unintentional brush of hands, the clumsy stumple that ignites an unexpected spark. Does your romance have one?

“Who are you?” I ask, approaching cautiously.

“Who am I? I should ask the same thing from you!” she says, straightening her posture. Even has the attitude of a princess. Ugh.

“What are—" he started, but she cut him off.

"If you ask 'what are you,' I'm going to be terribly disappointed." Her grin held an edge and her form flickered at the edges. "You've been so wonderfully defiant up until now. Don't ruin it with cliches."

The first word Chloé ever said to Freja was “bronze”

Ok, I’ll get on board with this one today! From my rewrite of The Oracle’s Journey, Ozanna’s POV. The enemies part doesn’t last long enough to qualify as enemies to lovers.

I'd love to finish Autopsied Truths this month. It's been through some heavy rewrites and I'd like to actually write the final chapter after so much time!

#WritingLifeMonthly #WritingCommunity

Autopsied Truths: Det. Liam Turner finds Dr. Sanal Chand where they are not supposed to be.

#WritingLifeMonthly #WritingCommunity

Autopsied Truths: these two do not get off to a smooth start. Liam is confused af and Sanal would prefer he stop staring like a confused goldfish.

#WritingLifeMonthly #WritingCommunity

Absolutely not their *first* conversation, but it is their first conversation after James is, uh…released from jail at the beginning of Borderline. 💀

Jayde is still quite irritated by him at this point, but I feel like this is where the romance truly begins. lmao

“You sure you want to get those? They’re nasty.” I remembered the taste of the medicinal strawberry-kiwi flavor on some guy’s lips at a house party. The Nirvana boy stared at me emotionless with his hazel eyes. Maybe he didn’t speak English. “C’est pas bon ça.”

#WritingLifeMonthly

“Don’t worry,” a deep voice behind me said. “I’ll go grab that.” I peeked over my shoulder right as a tall, suntanned man with light brown hair darted up the aisle before he doubled back with a second box and with gentle authority proclaimed, “Here you are.” #amwriting #writinglifemonthly #romance

Lots of talking on Sybel's part lol #writinglifemonthly

Joining in for #WritingLifeMonthly now that I'm back on this account.

This snippet is where Maya and Nikhil meet (and talk) for the first time in my time-travel-mystery-romance-drama book 'Bid Time a Goodbye'. They know about each other even before they meet. And they are twin flames too ❤️‍🔥
