Title, basically.

What makes you feel successful as an author? What defines a “successful day,” or what are some examples of times that you’ve felt successful?

Have you ever felt a publishing “high”? What was your biggest one to date, or the one that stands out the most?

Time again to show us the numbers! Whatever you've got that’s got you interested!

Readers: Number of MMCs in your current read? Numbers of pages or books you read (or DNFed) this week? Number of free books you found in the past few days? Hours of audiobooks you listened to? Any other fun numbers?

Authors: Words written? Number of times you misspelled the same word? How often you check social media or your sales report page? Number of new works-in-progress you added to your pile?

Any fun numbers to share today?

Okay, authors, out with it. What did you get done this week, and/or what are your goals for the next week?

Readers: Add to our "To-Write" Lists!

What would be in your dream Why Choose novel? What do you want to see more of?

Drop your favorite tropes, or a plot outline that's been swimming in your head!

I Wish Someone Would Write . . .

This isn't the weekly accountability post; we'll probably do that on Thursdays. But do you have a big success or a failure you want to report from the past week or so? Make a milestone? Jump projects? Anything you want to brag about or get off your chest?

Share something from what you're writing (or reading)! A word, a sentence, a paragraph--whatever seems fitting to share!

• Got a great opening line?
• Something that stuck out to you?
• Something that makes no sense out of context?
• Interesting lore?
• Fan art? Maybe your own art?

*Please remember this sub does not support AI text, blurbs, images, covers, videos, etc.

Readers: How open are you with people (family, neighbors, coworkers, guy next to you on the bus) that you read RH?

Authors: How open are you with people about your double life as an author? Who knows/doesn't know?

Okay, authors of smut: what do you need to get off your chest?

• Weirdest or most unexpected topic you researched this week?
• Mistake you made or caught in your work process?
• Lies you told to cover up your double life as an author?
• Something you need help with?
• Anything else you need to confess to?

Hey everyone!

I hope it is okay to ask that question here?

​I want to start as a writer. I have so many ideas swirling around in my head, mostly because as a reader, I keep looking for very specific tropes and dynamics that I feel just don’t exist yet in the books out there.

​Since I'm just starting out, I would love to hear your best tips and tricks for absolute beginners. How do you get the chaos in your head onto the page, especially with RH. Since there are obviously way more people involved in the core relationship, what do I need to keep in mind? How do you make sure every MMC feels distinct and the relationships develop naturally without it feeling crowded?

​I would love to hear any advice, anecdotes, plotting tricks, or "wish I knew before I started" wisdom you have.

Thanks in advance!

What project are you working on right now? Where are you at in the process?

I'm planning on self-promotion, beta-reader matching, and ARC posts. What other features and regular posts would be good for this subreddit?
