SUGGESTIVE WARNING LOLLL

salutations ladies…

caitjinx fic where jinx is a super famous popstar and activist and cait is a nepo baby actress hired to play jinx in her biopic, but jinx thinks cait's performance is HORRIBLE and the girl has clearly never done any chaos in her entire life, so they go on a bunch of definitely not dates where jinx explains how to do anarchism to the world's most uptight piltie and its all "for the role"

by time the movie premieres cait's performance as jinx is INCREDIBLE and she's been arrested like 12 times

THIS IS SO HELPFUL!!!! tysm for being so through I really appreciate it!!

the way u write romance means the world to me omg…how do u start your writing process??? do u use any like websites to organize ur characters or worlds? so curious bc being able to take such an inherently simple concept and expand on it so well and in such a raw way is an amazing skill!!! big fan

Hello!! Thank you so much for the kind words, omg. :D

For me, I usually mull over an idea for anywhere from a month to a couple years while I’m writing other projects. The ideas that fade quickly aren’t usually worth my time, but the ones that persistently come back are the ones I add to my schedule. (I typically know each book I’m writing next at least a year in advance.)

Once I sit down to write, I’ll draw up a rough outline with the 5 Sentence Method. I designed this method to be a simple bridge between pantsing (writing by the seat of your pants) and plotting (planning everything meticulously). It’s based around the Snowflake Method and uses elements from Save the Cat, but is far simpler! Just 5 sentences for 5 key plot points across the book. Once I have those, that’s my roadmap for writing, and I’ll expand accordingly!

Here’s a rough idea of the 5 Sentence Method! If you want to know more, I did write a craft book on the subject, available on Amazon. :D

Sentence 1 (5% mark in book): Inciting Incident, the moment where everything for your MC shifts, and they can’t ignore the pressing plot problem that just arose. (NOTE: this should NOT be on page one. We need to know what a character’s normal is before you toss in an inciting incident, so we can see how that moment is different than their daily life.)

Sentence 2 (25% mark in book): Leaving Home, the “leaving the Shire” point that kicks off Act 2. This is either the start of a physical or mental journey where the MC begins to pursue the real plot!

Sentence 3 (50% mark in book): Midpoint Reversal, the best part of the book. Done right, this is the moment where everything your MC thought they knew changes. Elizabeth swore she’d never love Darcy--then he proposes, and she realizes he’s loved her this entire time. If it’s a good Midpoint Reversal, it should completely change the MC’s interaction with the plot from this point on.

Sentence 4 (75% mark in book): Beginning of the End, the moment when an event happens that concludes Act 2 and begins the downward spiral into the ending battle / novel’s climax. After this point, the events of the ending CANNOT be stopped.

Sentence 5 (95% mark in book): Conclusion, where we see how the MC handled the climax and the book is wrapping up. Make sure you offer an off-ramp for your readers here, where you properly conclude the plots of the novel and give them a bit of breathing room after an intense ending.

I drop those sentences in Scrivener, which is how I personally track plots, characters, and worldbuilding. I’ll add in extra scenes I imagined based on the 5 Sentence roadmap. Then, when I’m ready, I write the book in Word, cause old habits die hard. LOL.

I hope that helped!

Should they slide on the opps..
