I see your Reuben, and … I’ve had smashed cheeseburgers consecutive nights with plans for a trifecta repeat tomorrow.

It feels like rating a handful of critical tropes on a sliding scale for each genre would help quantify the designations.

Say 0-5
0 = not present
5 = perfectly represented

Cherry Pie Welcome to Twin Peaks

Watch near the end of Episode III when the Emperor tells Yoda about his faith in his friends, young Darth Vader, and Yoda challenges that.

Then watch the end of RotJ again. You won’t view it the same.

What would Sunday be without Grampa Jody being overwhelmed by small, furry critters who lick him to death?

This statement by you may be the most amazing and portentous to be witnessed by mine eyes in all the decades that I've walked this earth, and the momentousness of the occasion overwhelms me such that I am incapacitated, babbling, though foolishly still typing, and wish to convey my utmost gratitude.

Zero interest.

Don't move the goalposts, Tam. You complained about Biden. Your complaint was ill-founded.

... because elections are run by the states ...

Ohhhh! That’s a good one. I do prefer thrillers.

Care to share a bit of your methodology, Bethany?

Second draft is complete at 77,500 words, taking every day of February except the first after waiting a year to begin. What a great feeling. Comment with your revision stories. :-)

Hello! My name is Jessie Collins but when I was a kid, they called me Jesipedia, like Wikipedia, except me. Brother, did I go on adventures as a kid in middle school!

How I Stole From the President While Saving a Foster Home
82K

In a world torn by history (Berlin, '97), a spirited beauty (I mean, she’s alright) defies propriety (books a language course) to claim her rightful future (career plans). Stranded on distant shores (Berlin. I said so already. Yes, there’s a beach), she falls prey to a cruel fate (housing mix-up) that entwines her destiny (for 2 months. Calm down) with a battle-scarred warrior (ex pro athlete with custody drama) guarding his wounded heart. Tormented by desire beyond endurance (will they, won’t they), they’re swept into an all-consuming passion (4*🌶️). It may devour them both—or grant the love of a lifetime (HEA). Sticker: Has Already Claimed Untold Beta Readers’ Hearts! Certified stamp: 100% TRUE. 100% MISLEADING. Credits: (1) Berlin aerial shot feat. the TV tower (Norbert Braun on Unsplash) (2) cutout of original cover art by Sharon Spiak for "Chanting the Dawn" by Marylyle Rogers.

Me again! Forget romcom, I’ve just had another idea.
Since my Berlin romance is practically historical… what if I went full bodice ripper instead? 👇

The cover needs *minor* adjustments, but how does the concept feel? Fresh? Or unhinged?

Do you like donuts?
Donuts with maple frosting?
Don’t come between Liz, or her partner Jake, for donuts.
Or she might kill you.
Might solve a case too, if the talking car shuts up.
