Hello, #WritingCommunity! Are there any upcoming #pitch events? I know #QuestPit is in November. Are there any others I should be aware of? Thank you!

Reading a diary is fun! That’s what you get in “Something Borrowed, Something True.” There are cringy moments, but also heartbreaking moments. Moments that make up one person’s life. You get to read it all! 📚 #diary #90sbooks #newbooks #diarybook #authors #readers #reading #bookworms

Unboxing my book for the first time! This is a dream come true. It’s so pretty! 🥰 “Something Borrowed, Something True” by Kasy Long #unboxing #WritingCommunity #authors #newbooks #writers #books #bookrelease

This is an excerpt from my novel, “Our Mother, Your Friend.” This is a post-9/11 family drama, and it’s a tribute to the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to the families affected by the tragedy. God bless you. ❤️ #september11 #911neverforget #911Remembrance #911books

A poem for my sweet Mamaw, remembering her on her birthday. My grandparents were also married on this day in 1935. More than anything, I wish I could talk to them. I wish I could enjoy my Mamaw’s cooking. But at least I have this poem. This is for her. ❤️ #poets #poetry #poems #grandmas

I want to thank you all for some great conversations and connections this month. It's truly been wonderful to see everyone chatting and being excited for and supportive of one another 🧡 Let's keep the #SumLuv train going: drop your links, follow some new friends, catch up on some prompt replies 🧡

So...where's this going, #SumLuv ?? 🧡 What's next for you and your work? If you've been chatting about a WIP, what's the plan for it when it's finished? What's your next project? Are you waiting on any news? Will we stay like this forever? 🧡

I like a HEA. With how much craziness there is in the world, I like to see things end perfectly for the characters. It’s an escape from reality. Everything’s happy and okay for them. ❤️ #SumLuv #romancewriters #romancebooks #writers

Do you have a favorite variation on the HEA? #SumLuv No need to spoil your own work unless you want to chat about it There are some who might say a HEA is essential to the romance genre. Do you agree?

Whether you like the “don’t marry him” trope or not, you have to admit it works in a good romance story! I added a “don’t marry him” scene in my book. Does it work for the characters? I don’t know…You have to find out for yourself on September 8th. 📚❤️ #indiebooks #romancewriters #writers #tropes

“I—I was incomplete before her. If I had to do it all over again, and still lose her when I did, I would. Because the ten years I had with her were more worthwhile to me than not having any time with her at all. It was an honor — an absolute honor and privilege to love your mom.” ❤️❤️ #SumLuv

Sorry for the late post, #SumLuv 🧡 Later night than expected at work 🚑 But hit me with your most romantic line from your work. Out of context. Just go! 🧡🧡🧡

Every school has a mean girl! For Terri Ingram, that’s Katrina Shaw. They’re on the soccer team together, and Katrina is jealous of Terri. It says a lot about Terri to use her birthday wish on a girl who doesn’t like her. #SumLuv #books #meangirls #90skids #indiebooks #writers #authors

Swoony and darkly possessive? Anxious and insecure? A healthy dose of something natural to work through? Not explored at all? If not, what do you explore instead? #SumLuv 🧡

I’m currently reading “The Knight and the Moth” by Rachel Gillig for a book club. It’s a gothic romantasy, which isn’t my usual genre. I’m also reading “On the Bright Side” by Anna Sortino. It’s a YA book with deaf and illness representation. I’m LOVING it! 🥰 I love most romances! #SumLuv

In my summer YA amusement park story, Cori and Erik work at the raging rapids ride together. They have a game where whoever splashes the other person the most during a shift gets a point. Erik is playful and makes sure Cori laughs. She loves it. She loves working with him. ❤️ #SumLuv #romancewriters

In a snip, in a gif, in an elaborate metaphor? A series of way too many cryptic emojis? #SumLuv 🧡

In my summer YA amusement park romance, Erik falls for Cori first. He’s had a crush on her for four years. It isn’t until this summer when she begins to see him differently. He falls first, she falls harder! It happens during a tornado warning when they’re taking shelter… #SumLuv #romancewriters

“Go. Before I keep you out here all night.” 😍😘🥰 After this kiss, Terri has a hard time walking straight. Her head is spinning! It’s a good thing she decided to write about it in her diary. Read more on September 8th. Preorder today! #books #snippet #indiebooks #readers #romancebooks

“Go. Before I keep you out here all night.” Terri could barely walk straight after that. Her head was spinning with love. Of course, she had to write about it in her diary. ❤️ #SumLuv #romancewriters #writers #writing #snippet

Show us a point where you turn it up to eleven: a moment of over-the-top romance, of uber-sweetness, or hawt hawt spice! Take some time to react to other snippets 🧡 #SumLuv (knowing a variety of people will be browsing this one, please be considerate with your CWs)

Everyone is getting along! Jack is shy and fidgets a lot. Terri is chatting with everyone. She wants to be friends! Jack quietly observes and listens. ❤️ #SumLuv #romancewriters #writers

A silly one today about how your characters might behave in the "real" world, and how "real" people might react to them #SumLuv

It surprised me how much I fell in love with writing the love triangle. It was my first time writing a love triangle. Both men are great! I feel sorry for the one who doesn’t get the girl in the end. I was half-tempted to change the ending, but I couldn’t. 😂 #SumLuv #romancewriters #writers

📚 Ellie Rhymer! Spaceships and Scoundrels 📚@ellieyellu.bsky.social · 4w ago

Did you always expect their story to play out the way it has? Is there anything about the story you had to change to accommodate this romantic relationship? #SumLuv

I think you should follow the advice. The book has ALL the ‘90s vibes you could want. Plus, there’s a diary! It’s just fun to read. Readers, this is your next favorite read! Preorder today! “Something Borrowed, Something True” by Kasy Long #books #indiebooks #90sbooks #90svibes #newbooks

“He wasn’t grinning anymore. He just looked at me with serious eyes and said, ‘That’s how I feel about you. I’ve been waiting for you without even knowing it.’” ❤️❤️❤️ Love can surprise you sometimes. It happens to my characters when they weren’t even looking for love. ❤️ #SumLuv #romancewriters

How do you show that your characters have "it", have that somethin-somethin, that spark, that je ne sais quoi between them? It's not just finding each other hot, though that's big. It's that other thing... That... 🧡chemistry🧡 remember content warnings for spicy snips, please #SumLuv
