For #JoyPit
Did I mention the banter?
Or that he’s her best friend’s boss’s boss?
I might have forgotten to mention sisterhood too?
And that he’s an older brother with all the older brother vibes?
Glad we’re all caught up 🤗

👯‍♀️potential to be a duet
💸 hidden wealth/secret identities

After a chance encounter, one night, several deals, and a little bit of fate, MC’s agree This Is Casual. But for how long?

I’m still figuring out what route to take with it, but I’ll post on here when I have any updates ☺️

Some would call it a ‘USP’ 😌

Hi Agents
Ok, yeah, there’s a lot of spicy romcoms out there
BUT
All of my beta readers got pregnant whilst reading mine…
So, that’s our marketing hook, right? This book will basically sell itself.

This took as long to make as it did to write the book - a 90k spicy romcom
*ahem*
When fate keeps pushing a hot man into your life but you don’t want him (ok, you kind of do but not really)

Text thread between Fate and FMC. FMC would like to return the hot man fate has bestowed upon her, but Fate doesn’t accept returns. FMC is quite upset

Ok ok ok
I think I’ve finished the first draft of my second book (internal screaming)
Obvs I’ll noodle around with it and change it a lot
But stage one is ✨done✨ and I can’t quite believe I’ve managed to do this for a second time?! #writingcommunity

Ok, it’s not writing related, but I just had to share because I grew a plant from seed (ah!) and it’s grown so big (ah!) and my gnome is now surrounded by pink flowers and I think it’s the cutest

A circuits class, followed by adding 2k words to my draft. Now it’s time for bed before I keel over 🥱

Oh gahd. Hi. 13 days since my last post. 13 days of having my head down and writing during every free moment.
Am now 80% of the way through this first draft #aaaaah #writingcommunity #amwriting & #amquerying (have been avoiding QT like the plague 🙂)

G Belle @gbelle24.bsky.social · Aug 3

Had some feedback that nearly made me cry.
They said I had a distinct & lovely voice, and beautiful prose 😭 Sorry? Me?
Also, the MS made them giggle.
I fear I’m about to become unbearable 🙂‍↕️ *internal screaming*

G Belle @gbelle24.bsky.social · Jul 22

At the stage where I don’t even flinch at a QueryTracker email anymore, open them with zero expectation, and carry on with my day when it’s a rejection 😂 is this peace or a trauma response? Idk #amquerying #writingcommunity

G Belle @gbelle24.bsky.social · Jul 19

I’m 56000 words in and I just had an idea that changes ✨everything✨ soooo I’m gunna just close my laptop and stare out of the window for a little while whilst I contemplate why I decided to start writing books 🙂

G Belle @gbelle24.bsky.social · Jul 19

#WIPSnips a fun one for ‘search’ - it’s really hard being the sibling that could do romance blindfolded whilst your brother constantly fumbles the girl 🙄

I close my eyes and silently curse my big brother for not being able to land the girl.
It’s not that hard; he grew up watching the same Disney movies I did. You go after the princess, you search the town with her shoe just to find her, you wake her up with your kiss. You kidnap her dad and then do a prisoner swap so you can keep her instead…
Maybe Disney films aren’t the best example.
Either way, this isn’t rocket science.

Concerned that sending queries is becoming an addiction. Is there a support group I could join? #amquerying #writingcommunity

I just found out Andrea Gibson passed away and suddenly the world feels a little less bright

‘Just to be clear
I don’t want to get out
without a broken heart.
I intend to leave this life
so shattered
there’s gonna have to be
a thousand separate heavens
for all of my flying parts.’
