So excited for this book to come out on July 29th! @BequetteEmily is a fantastic writer and resource for the writing community. Be sure to check it out! Y’all know I got the sprayed edges hardcover edition ❤️📖 - Link below. inkdrinkerbookbox.square.site/product/flameh…

@BeccaACarter @AJLinnemeyer I have had this issue too… if I didn’t follow back the first time, unfollowing and refollowing isn’t going to change that.

@AJLinnemeyer I have one person like that. I didn't follow them back in time so they started to unfollow me and follow me back periodically so now I don't follow them back on principle 😂

Does anyone else have someone who perpetually follows and unfollows them over and over? What am I missing?? 😂

@BequetteEmily Can you DM me the name of this book? I want to make sure o don’t pick it up bc that would mess me up.

I typically don't blink at the absence of trigger warnings. But the book I just finished had a stillborn baby and its demonic twin live in the last 20 pages and I'm not okay.

@BequetteEmily Exactly! I tried to explain it as: - A romantic fantasy is a fantasy with a romance element. The story can exist without the romance. - Romantasy is a fantasy romance, a romance with a fantasy element. So the story doesn’t exist without the romance.

@JennMcDermott YES 👏 one has the romance as THE plot. Other has it as a subplot. It's very different.

Fantasy w/romance & "romantasy"-2 different genres I enjoy tropes and think its an effective marketing strategy. Romance plots/subplots are popular right now. Does every fantasy need them? No. But appealing to readers who like them isn't a bad thing-NOT talking about 🌶️🌶️🌶️ books

Just finished watching Wicked (I know, I’m behind) & dang if it isn’t the perfect lesson in how important perspective, context, & backstory is for stories. I will never watch Wizard of Oz the same again. Now I have to go read the book cause can’t wait til Nov for Pt 2.

@BequetteEmily Music really can absolutely set the tone as you write/read! 🎶🎵

I feel so productive. I finished my wip's Spotify playlist

@FelicityHewitt_ Those are both great, I don’t think you can go wrong with either.

My professional photos came in! Which one do you prefer for my profile pic?

@IngramSpark @Juliebroad @BookLaunchers Looking forward to this. As a heads up though, the date is showing last year and may confuse some.

Asked Grok to roast my account and the overall theme was that I’m too nice 🤣 I’m good with that. I’m glad to be a supporter for the members of the #writingcommunity bc it’s a hard industry. I will always be rooting for all of you to reach your goals!

@AuthorJMorrison Seeing others success is encouraging to me. Especially when it is someone I follow and want to cheer on! Your post were factual and celebratory, not mean spirited or boastful.

After seeing some posts, my heart is heavy. I’ve decided to stop sharing updates for now because I never want to make anyone feel discouraged about querying. If I came across as boastful, I’m truly sorry. I believe in all of you. Our time will come. Sending love to you

@estywrites Are you able to see the tracking number to provide them? Other than that I’m not sure what they would need. But if you can provide the address it went your CC fraud department, they will likely press charges against them.

@JennMcDermott I might do that They want a FedEx account number but maybe?

@BequetteEmily I’m counting down until you need ARC readers!!

@JennMcDermott Very!!!!

there is a COVER SHAPED THING in my inbox

Is it a sign when a new higher starts at your work with the same unique last name (down to the spelling) as characters from your WIP? Cause I’m going to run with that, absolutely a sign! #amwriting #writingcommunity

Wishing the #WritingCommunity a very #HappyNewYear2025! What are you most proud of or thankful for that happened in 2024? And what is one thing you hope to achieve in 2025? Let’s celebrate and cheer each other on!

@BequetteEmily That’s awesome! 🤩

An amazing bookstagramer wants an ARC of my book....me....my book....in front of thousands..... ✨️I die✨️

just freaking writing a book alone is a big deal just freaking STARTING a book is a big deal just freaking having an idea to CREATE a book is a big deal just freaking stringing a few words together is a big deal if this is what you did in 2024 you are A BIG DEAL

I need to kill some time and found out there is a half price books less than a mile away… I’m gonna be late to dinner 📖😂
