@LindenmuthWendi I would most certainly look out the window...from upstairs...behind a locked door.

@bellatrixrod I’m ashamed to say the 1997 Disney film, Anastasia…

@graceoquincy I literally just laughed out loud

How do I stop myself from re-writing the first paragraph of chapter 1 instead of writing the remaining 30k of my manuscript? Just cannot help myself. Any tips? Help meeee 🤦🏽‍♀️📝📖

@jensmith950 Brilliant! Must have been so bloody satisfying 🎊

[A James @A_James_Writing]

@ashposton Ah same. Sweet Home Alabama does it for me every time

[A James @A_James_Writing]

@RichardERock1 Hmm. I’d say I’m a lot rounder and a bit poorer than I thought I would be…

@byhaileyharlow Hey 👋I'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 📚

@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

[A James @A_James_Writing]

@byhaileyharlow Grumpy/Sunshine, Forced Proximity and Enemies to Lovers - almost the makeup of my fave, Pride and Prejudice 💜

@theromancefiend Oh god same. Instant turn off when I read that in the synopsis for some reason. I think it’s old fashioned and a bit cringe 🫢🤷🏻‍♀️

You meet at a pumpkin farm but then you get your head stuck in a pumpkin…he leans in for a kiss despite your creepy carved grin and gets a mouthful of pumpkin seeds. You wonder if he’ll call you tomorrow? 🎃💋

What’s yours?

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

Mini book review 📚🌊: 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?

@Colbywilkens Woah. Speedy work! Well done

[A James @A_James_Writing]

@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 don’t feel like writing so edit instead to make use of the time. Everyone is different! 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

@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 💭💜🌲
