@byhaileyharlow Hey ๐I'm Ada and I write contemporary romance. When I'm not continuously listening to Rosamund Pike's audio version of Pride & Prejudice, I am reading Book Lovers by Emily Henry ๐
@Austen1stDrafts Such a pity that those other characters shift around awkwardly as the eccentric spinster had practised and arranged such little elegant jokes which they believed were always so acceptable to the ladies
@theromancefiend Oh god same. Instant turn off when I read that in the synopsis for some reason. I think itโs old fashioned and a bit cringe ๐ซข๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
You meet at a pumpkin farm but then you get your head stuck in a pumpkinโฆhe leans in for a kiss despite your creepy carved grin and gets a mouthful of pumpkin seeds. You wonder if heโll call you tomorrow? ๐๐
Whatโs yours?

The day will come when youโll hold your debut, third book, tenth book in your hands and wonder why you ever doubted yourself.

Mini book review ๐๐: Malibu Rising by TJR
+Loved the real relationships between the Riva siblings
+Digging the unique '60s/70s vibe
- Not sure the ending was enough of a bang for me given the slow burn build-up
Thoughts?

@EmmaLouG89 Same. I would find it impossible to get to the end of a first draft without reading back through. And when I read, I edit. Some days I donโt feel like writing so edit instead to make use of the time. Everyone is different! ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
@JWillows_Author It would have to be on the deck of a log cabin next to a lake on the edge of a forest in BC, Canada. That fresh air would work all sorts of magic on that manuscript ๐ญ๐๐ฒ
