Dear Unconscious Mind,

I would be ever so grateful if you could bestow upon me a fantasy story idea. It’s been years since I’ve written in that genre and I miss it terribly. Any new story idea will do, I guess.

Forever a slave to your whims,
Neha

#Novmemeber 25: any anti- or twisted tropes in arrangementWIP?

Well…

the Meet Cute gave Friends-to-Lovers vibes but it actually became Dislike-to-Lust-to-Love😉

the FMC could have been Girl Boss That Only Cares About Her Career but she daydreams of dating her good friend, who’s also a colleague🤷‍♀️

#WIPsnips: ‘system’

Amaya’s best friend Stella has a few suggestions on getting over heartbreak😅

(SatNav is Stella’s nickname for Navid🙊)

#writesky #writingcommunity #romancebooks #booksky
"You know what you need to do?" Stella says midway through our mains. She waves her fork to punctuate her suggestions. "Meet new people. Go on lots of dates. Date lots of guys. All at the same time!" That's two glasses of wine talking. "That'll purge SatNav from your system." "Purge is the right word," I mutter under my breath. As much as I'm trying to enjoy the food, the atmosphere, the company, I'm just too sad. I can barely taste what I'm eating. Not that I can taste what I eat at home...

#WIPsnips: ‘debut’

Meghna wanted to be a ‘producer’ on the Christmas play, but the Director wants to cast her as the leading lady—opposite her ‘enemy’, who also wants her in the play🤷‍♀️

There are some perks to starring in the play, tho😏

#writesky #writingcommunity #romancebooks #booksky #YA #YAlit
Surma won't miss the chance to witness my acting debut. She'll find a way to come cheer me on, I know she will. She's Surma. And I'll see her, I'll see my sister! Who knows what could happen afterwards? Heart soaring at the thought, another benefit of being in the play shimmers before me: I'll seem more outgoing in my Uni applications. Universities like that kind of thing. At the very least, I'll be an enigma. The Outgoing Stay-At-Home Bookworm, ha! Face lighting up at whatever expression is on mine, Oli asks, "So, you'll do the play?" I guess I am.

The text across the moodboard reads “we’ll never forget”.

Heartbroken by the man she loves, Amaya has to vacate her home, too

So OF COURSE she thinks an arranged marriage is the solution!

When Ashraf proposes marriage minus love, it’s ideal

How long before their arrangement becomes inconvenient?

✅a No Love Pact
✅bickering & banter
✅Fake💘

#WIPsnips: ‘global’ ~ have many instances in my published books but 0 across my 5 WIPs😭 Gone with ‘world’ instead.

When Amaya first sees Ashraf in arrangementWIP, she stands him up because of his looks🤷‍♀️

#writesky #writingcommunity #romancebooks #booksky
There are two types of beautiful people in the world. The type that has you thinking "oh, they're really cute" and the type that rids your mind of all thought and compels you to catch another look, to stare. The man my gaze is fixed on now-from a distance and without his knowledge—falls into the latter category. He has a supermodel's face and seems to have a Bollywood Action Hero's body beneath that grey sweater. I haven't seen anyone like that in a long time. Character moodboard with two images. A young woman dressed in smart office wear with the name Amaya written across it, and a man in the middle of removing his shirt with the name Ashraf written across the image.

#Novmemeber 22: Amaya’s red flags:

🚩values loyalty to her parents’ memory above her own wellbeing

🚩MUST have the last word whenever she’s bickering w/ Ash

🚩won’t admit she’s wrong when it comes to Ash

🚩makes Ash the villain despite his attempts at friendship

many more🚩they’re both morally grey

#WIPsnips: crystal

Amaya needs Ashraf’s help removing the bracelet he gifted her because she doesn’t want it

(girl, why did you go thru so much trouble to put it on, then? Couldn’t you tell it would be even harder to take off by yourself and you’d have to ask him to help?)

#writesky #romancebooks
Ash cradles my fist in his hand and twists it to see the crystal dangling from the bracelet. I frown. One corner of his mouth lifts, as if he's pleased. His gaze meets mine for a moment before returning to the silver hugging my wrist. His thumb brushes the tiny stone, and therefore, also my skin. The touch isn't entirely unpleasant-well, it's not unpleasant at all-but it's highly unnecessary. I spin my hand back around so he can unclasp the bracelet. The action is apparently such a shock that he drops his hand and takes a step back. "Take it off, damn it." I almost punch him in the chest when I shove my hand towards him. Ash takes another step back and grabs his door. "You take it off." And he shuts the door in my face. "I'll just get Stella to remove it on Monday," I snap before hurrying to my room.

after almost 6 months—because arrangementWIP took that long to draft—it feels so good to be able to pick up marriageWIP and start on revisions✨

#writingcommunity #romancebooks
Moodboard titled ‘A Most Improper Marriage’ with five images. 1: young woman in a floral white dress and hijab smiling at a young man standing next to her. 2: a gravestone with red flowers. 3: a young man sitting down, his face in his hands as if crying. 4: a close-up of a bride and groom’s entwined hands. 5: a close up of the faces of the man and woman from image 1. 6: a cafetiere, a glass cup of coffee, ans a rose-shaped spoon on a wooden tray. Movie poster-style graphic for novel in progress called ‘A MOST IMPROPER MARRIAGE’ with author’s name Neha Yazmin underneath the bold title. Image is a close-up of a man and woman in their late 20s standing shoulder-to-shoulder with serious expressions on their faces. The woman is wearing a white floral dress and a white hijab, the man is in a plain white shirt. They are standing in front of a glass door with white frames. At the top of the poster, are three 5-star movie review-style texts pertaining to different aspects of the book. 1: “Adoring green flag love interest”. 2: “Slow burn romance” 3: “Bangladeshi Muslim rep”.

#Novmemeber 21: a song Amaya likes?

She misses her parents and latches onto anything that makes them feel close, from cooking the food they cooked to listening to the music they played. Which means: 90s Bollywood 😉

This was obv her mum’s favourite song and Amaya loves it, too✨

#WIPsnips: ‘direction’

Desperate times call for desperate measures…

#writesky #writingcommunity #romancebooks #booksky #YA #YAlit
One of the coolest things about us Chowdhury sisters is that we look so alike. From our personalities alone, you'd never believe we're related. Like the rivers of Bangladesh we were named after, we four don't flow in the same direction. Before today, I didn't gravitate towards the performing arts. I'm all about consuming art, preferably in the form of books and music. Desperate times call for desperate measures though, and volunteering for our community centre's Christmas play is one such measure. I have zero extra-curriculars for my University applications and it's too late to organise anything better. So, that's what I'm doing on the first day of school. It's also the last day of the Summer Fair in our local park, at which the community centre has a stall promoting its Youth Services and recruiting volunteers for the Christmas production. Moodboard with six images: a coloured drawing of two teenagers facing each other, an overhead photo of a desk with a script of Romeo & Juliet, a coloured drawing of a young woman holding a book, a black-and-white drawing of a young man, a black-and-white drawing of a young couple with a hardback edition of Romeo & Juliet hiding their faces, a black-and-white drawing of a young woman’s face. The text across the moodboard reads “we’ll never forget”.

Every November, I think back to Nov 2018, when I drafted a huge chunk of Heir to the Throne #1

The Kid was almost 1yo and took 2 naps a day; instead of napping when he napped—as everyone advised—I wrote my epic fantasy

I don’t know how I managed it on so little sleep; I couldn’t now😭

#WIPsnips: ‘special’

Amaya & Ashraf don’t want to fall in love again. So, *of course* they think a loveless arranged marriage is the perfect solution!

Ash just wants to make sure Maya is certain she wants this.

#writesky #writingcommunity #romancebooks #booksky
He makes his voice serious and says, "There will never be romantic love between us—" "Romantic love is overrated, if you ask me." I chuckle. "Amaya," he moans like an old friend might when they're frustrated with you. "Call me Maya, please." I smile. "And I'm serious. Who's to say that if I marry someone else, he'll fall in love with me? Who's to say I'll want him to? My parents didn't have romantic love and they were happy." They were great parents, great people. The lack of romantic love between them didn't make them any less special, their lives any less meaningful. "Romantic love doesn't always follow an arranged marriage, you know that. So, what's the big deal?" "I just..? " Ashraf hesitates, looks down at his cup. "You seem like an amazing woman and you deserve to be loved. I don't want you to throw that away."
