Girls be like “I needed this”, and it’s just reading about strong and feminine rage-filled women who are loved, empowered, and respected by their men while they dismantle oppressive governments together 🫶

How do I Google “how to manually snap a man’s neck” without getting myself on some sort of watchlist? It’s book research I swear 🥴

The most time-consuming part of my editing process is realizing how much of a comma groupie I am, coming to terms with that, and then chopping up run-on sentences like I’m a sous chef. 🔪

“All you do is look at MMC fanart”

God forbid a girl have a deep appreciation for modern art.

What I look like while watching hours of military & martial arts training videos so I can choreograph Malyk fights properly (I’m literally just a girl 🎀)

I don’t go to the gym to be healthy I go to the gym because the chances of a dimensional rip into a fantasy realm full of super hot (but also incredibly fit) FMCs and MMCs appearing is slim but never zero

When I finally finish writing a fight scene chapter it gives me the same surge of feral energy as when Shania Twain says “let’s go girls”.

Any other authors out there have a very specific writing setup? ✍️

For me, I have to have a hot tea, phone flipped over so I can’t see the screen, and thunderstorm playlists on loop in my headphones otherwise I can’t concentrate to save my life 🙂‍↕️

Sorry, I can’t come out tonight I gotta submit my application to change my last name to Archeron because there’s still a bat boy without a mate and I know their type.

Drop the book quote that lives in your head rent free.

I’ll go first: “I am the rock against which the surf crashes. Nothing can break me.”

“Trust your body”

You mean the same body that enters fight or flight mode just from reading words on a page about characters that aren’t real?

“All you do is read”

Not true, I also obsess over fictional men.
