#AuthorAugust26 Day 5: Movie comp for your book/WIP If it's inspired by Beauty & the Beast, of course you have to watch B&tB 💙 LINK: a.co/d/0d2w7AT9 #writesky #booksky #romancelandia

I have found my new favourite meme response for slopists. Ahahahahaha 🤣

Fanfiction, lol. But I read Alyssa Cole's How to Catch a Princess in 2021 and that was the book that convinced me that I could write romance. I wrote the first draft of How Wild Are We that year! #sumluv

Do you remember the first romance novel you read? Where did you get it from? 🧡 #SumLuv 🧡

Would I be okay if AI vanished tomorrow? Yes. Because I don't use AI. Ever. It's bad for your brain, it's bad for the planet, it's bad for everyone you meet. There is no reason to use AI.

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

#AuthorAugust26 Day 3: Tuesday Teaser! Ash and his butler, Lewis, share some of the best snarky dialogue. Clearly Lewis is done putting up with Ash's shit 😂 LINK: a.co/d/0gPBGB05 #writesky #booksky #romancelandia 📢 📚

Danger's been crushing hard on Roxy for a while, so the meet cute is them finally giving her their number (written on her iced coffee, of course). It takes Roxy a little while to come around, though, because Feelings Are Hard. #sumluv #writesky

Meet cutes don't have to be "cute"! They are a plot device 🧡 But! Let's talk about how they DO feel about each other early on! Is it fairytale love? Is it *lust* at first sight? Hate at first sight? All?? Snips here are welcome (always welcome if you want to answer anything with a snip) 🧡 #SumLuv

#sumluv Meet cutes! Danger and Roxy already know each other so their meet cute is more of a "day in the life" (she comes in to get coffee). Roxy's introduction is a cameo in Out of the Woods, a tradition I've managed to keep up in all three Haven's Point books. #writesky #booksky

"In which somebody runs into somebody else, and then something falls, and they begin to talk, and their eyes meet and they realize they are attracted to one another" —Rodger Ebert Do you have a classic one? Or one that passes 😆 Did you avoid altogether? Snips welcome! #SumLuv

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif... I am predictable typically. I'm not going to do one of my normal ones this time.

Haven's Point 3 is a queer romance between Danger, an enby barista, and Roxy, a penguin shifter EMT, exploring the bonds of family, found family, and pack. One who lost their family, and the other who can't bear to let them go, even if it means lying to protect her secret... #sumluv #writesky

Good night 💤 When we ban books in libraries or schools before we ban guns, we admit we are more afraid of our children learning than we of them dying.

We're having a D&D marathon weekend, my kids are playing, and therefore the quotes are amazing. Here is a running list of what's been said. #gamerproblems

#AuthorAugust26 Day 1: Introduce yourself Many thanks to Mariah Ankenman for hosting! I'm Amie, and I write paranormal and contemporary romance! My latest book, Beastly Beloved, dropped in April. By day I teach elementary library and get to read allll the kid books! #writesky

Hello #SumLuv I'm Vincent. I'm a trans man who writes about trans men, mostly. I really enjoy writing romance but it's not often my primary genre. I'm trying to fix that! My current WIP is Wish Upon a Storm, a hero x villain cozy fantasy romance short story inspired by cute 80s cartoon. It's fun!

Hi!! I'm Amie, and I write paranormal and contemporary romance. I love to focus on character relationships and the build up to their relationship, found family is the best trope, and witty one liners are part of my repertoire. Published in 2024, been writing for as long as I can remember! #sumluv
