I’ll be taking a break from this profile to focus on writing under my dark romance pen name, Mimi Valentino. If you like extra smutty smut & and morally grey MMCs come join me on my other profile. We have candy and honey 😜

Just stayed up all night reading a recommendation…
I’ll just say that I’ve previously worked as a ☎️ seggs operator that specialized in k!n< and none of it prepared me for this book. #smutsky #smutreader #ireadfilth #booksky

My only relief was that it was on KU and I didn’t pay $8 for it.

She also walked to the bed even though she was already sitting on it a few sentences before. And in one scene they magically switched rooms twice.

Madison Valentino @madisontheauthor.bsky.social · Dec 24

They also had the MMC undressing then suddenly he was undressing again. Somewhere in the paragraph between his clothes jumped back on him.
And the FMC went from only wearing a towel to being in clothes back to a towel again.

Madison Valentino @madisontheauthor.bsky.social · Dec 24

I continued and it just got worse. A character suddenly became the owner of the establishment then switched back to being a customer (I’m guessing they were originally the owner then decided during edits to have them be a customer instead?)

Madison Valentino @madisontheauthor.bsky.social · Dec 24

Reading a book and the author changed from FMC POV to MMC POV, then back again, in the same paragraph. I’m now emotionally broken. #writingcommunity #booksky

The fact that I’ve literally been sitting here like that for the last 45 minutes. Just rocking side to side staring off into space 🤦🏽‍♀️

All of them 😂
But mainly the Strawberryrita, these chocolate ones that I can’t remember the names, and the piña colada

I enjoy books that remind me to keep believing in love…and hot, sweaty seggs, with hot, sweaty men. Those are the books that win me over.

I love when I’m reading a book and some juicy gossip pops up

It just started pouring rain. Something tells me that I won’t be going to bed early after all…
Something about rain makes me want to put on water for tea, curl up under a blanket, and write.

My operating instructions are so simple. If I write during the day I'm happy, and if I don't get to write I'm grouchy. That's it.

Have a great writing weekend, writers!

Poor character written by an author who has experienced poverty: My problem is that I'm $300 short on the rent and now my car is making a noise

Poor character written by a rich author: My problem is that I feel so inferior beside these beautiful, sophisticated rich people

Currently sorting through images of men covered in water, barely holding towels, in order to create my next book cover. Poor me…

Thankfully I got a new computer the following week, but I’m permanently paranoid 😂
