✨TFW✨ your HS boyfriend of over a year dumps you out of the blue, so your eldest daughter/people pleasing self decides to go rogue and fake date his obnoxious (but maybe actually kind of funny?) ex-best friend who you both couldn’t stand 💋

You know you’re a writer when you’re going to a concert for a band whose album was hugely influential in one of your books, so you wear the necklace your dad made you for your book as a little wink to no one but yourself lol

Guess who’s so close to finishing her book that she just finished outlining the last few chapters of her book??
It’s still going to need a lot of work because some subplots definitely came and went without me realizing it, but the important thing is I’M ALMOST DONE!! 🥹

For the first time possibly ever, I have a short story idea that I’m pretty psyched about? But as someone who’s devoted a lot of time to learning about the craft of long form writing…where do I go from here?
Does anyone have resources, good articles, etc, to figure out how to properly write this?

After getting dumped by her dream boyfriend, people pleasing Marie decides to stop being so agreeable. Revenge comes in the form of chasing acceptance at her ex’s dream college and pretending to date his chaotic, obnoxious rival
Who may not be as insufferable as she was led to believe 👀

unsolicited ✨writing✨ advice:
write the thing even if it's not gonna get published, even if you don't think it's the best thing ever, even if someone else can do it better, even if it's unserious, even if it's self-indulgent, even if it's pulpy, even if it's navel-gazey, just WRITE THE THING.

🎄🌟 Okay since I’m finally out of my reading rut, I’m looking for book recs I can add to my Christmas wishlist 🌟🎄
Ideally looking for YA but doesn’t have to be, not big on fantasy but don’t mind soft fantasy. If there’s something with enemies to lovers or fake dating, even better!

This isn't going to mean much to anyone except the people who have been following me for a while
But I think I may actually finish drafting this book at a reasonable word count for YA contemporary, like 70-80k. As someone who has trouble shutting up before 100k, I'm sooo happy 🥰

Made a little thing for my MC for the book I'm currently working on 🩷
Marie is going through some stuff and she is NOT going to passively accept it anymore! (but if you make her feel bad for standing up for herself she probably will apologize because she's still growing)

replies felt weirdly discouraged on twitter (at least to me) but I really recommend getting back into the habit of telling artists directly when you like their stuff. not even in an engagement farming way, it just feels nice. nobody's day is going to be worse hearing that you like their work
