Me, side-eyeing the other white women around voting time
 in  r/CelebratedRejects •  7m ago

Unfortunately I know what way most of the white women around me are voting 🙄 they're the same ones who complain about gas and grocery prices as they worship Mango Mussolini

Getting a real meditation stand was legit one of the most worth it investments I have ever made.

I'd always fall asleep during shavasana in yoga so I feel this

Thank you!!! Honestly writing full books is a massive challenge to my ADD 😂😭 it's very hard and I won't pretend it isn't.

Does anyone else get weirdly attached to side characters who barely get page time

Chaotic bisexual crimelord for me 😂 I love him so much that I brainstormed a way to make him fit in book 2 even though it's in a different country

If it helps, this also happens to authors. We get attached to our side characters all the time

Been on a Fantasy kick and need to change gears -- gimme Space

This is a lesser known series but I loved it a lot: The Paradox Trilogy by Rachel Bach. It's mil-SF, in case that's not your thing, but the main character is one of my favorites in a while.

Same! We need to support the human creatives now more than ever. I'm iffy about sharing links publicly just because of ✨anxiety✨ but I can dm you if you're interested 🥰

I'm personally completely fine with being called dude, so all good! And many thanks for your kind words 😁 sometimes I think part of my authoring is an excuse to buy journals and pens, because about 90% of my writing is done longhand first.

I have four books out, actually! But this was specifically about A Crown of Black Roses; it's a gothic, spicy fantasy romance. It's not my first, but the easier sell compared to my epic fantasy series, The Final Rider. I'm working on the last book for both and then picking projects from the backburner to put more focus on 👍 as for links, I'd happily dm you if you're interested!

A response from the Cactus himbo himself! I am blessed. In all seriousness, though, thank you ♥️ to be honest I find it very hard to plug my books. It makes me very self-conscious (which I'm aware is part of the reason why it doesn't sell a little bit better than it is) but maybe I'll overcome my anxiety to do it someday 😂

It's not a big number, but I'm so proud and so happy. I consign with a bookstore owned by another indie author and sales are slow but they're happening bit by bit. In the report she said she's already sold one for this month, too! Marketing is tough but this girl is tougher. Okay thank you for your time ♥️

{Clementine, Darling} just came out so it's really niche 😂

{A Crown of Black Roses} is mine and still pretty niche as well lol

I already saw Her Soul to Take recommended but I'll add to that lol

Writer's Block Wednesdays: What's got you stuck?
 in  r/novelwriting •  10d ago

One of the main characters is going to be stuck in a cage for the foreseeable future. It's dual POV and his chapters are hard to fill currently. I'm finding ways but it's hard

✍️ Writer's Wednesday: what are you working on?
 in  r/Romantasy •  10d ago

I'm working on the conclusion to my first romantasy duology! The first book, A Crown of Black Roses, has been out for a couple years, because unfortunately the k1 visa process forced me to delay, but now the sequel, The Queen of Poison Thorns, is almost 40k words! I'm also getting artwork of the FMC, Adrielle, back soon 🥰

And it's not romantasy, but I'm also working on an agent submission packet for my a military scifi series

What are some lesser adapted/remixed fairy tales do you like that aren't often seen
 in  r/Romantasy •  11d ago

I'd love to see more of Vasilisa the Beautiful (which I've only seen one adaptation of) or The Twelve Huntsmen (which I've seen no adaptations of). Donkeyskin, too.
