Childhood Best Friends To Lovers, Secret Relationships, Sunshine Boy X Troubled Girl, I Hate Everyone

just woke up from the most perfect most realistic dream omg i’m never letting myself sleep again💔💔💔

i was IN LOVE with the most perfect man i’m DEVASTATED💔💔💔

just changed my already published book covers for a fourth time

“She’s looking around the blanket in disbelief, and I’m a little in disbelief myself for a second.

Mother nature seems to love her just as much as I do because the sky is now the prettiest shade of pink and orange, like she’s the sun the sky is choosing to set behind.”

me when in the planning stages of writing: *overflow of ideas, high school au, canon divergence, character studies, unrequited love, one bed, ALL IN ONE*

vs

me when opening googles docs to write:

grumpy x sunshine, i hate everyone but you, four core female group, brother’s best friend, troubled girl x sunshine boy, secret relationships, poor girl x wealthy boy, small town romance, found family, childhood best friends to lovers, it’ll always be/it’ll never be you, dual/multiple pov, sapphic romance, slow burn romance, forbidden romance, one bed trope, fake dating… and more.

if you’re a fan of romance dramas that contain relatable topics but with a much needed healthy balance of comedic relief, love, and friendship, please give my book a chance<3

it is a romance drama book series that follows the lives and love stories of eight childhood best friends. tropes and dynamics range from:

grumpy x sunshine, i hate everyone but you, four core female group, brother’s best friend, secret relationships, small town romance, found family, childhood best friends to lovers, it’ll always be/it’ll never be you, sapphic romance, slow burn romance, forbidden romance, one bed trope, and more!

this is my first time tackling a fictional universe and characters like this as a self-published indie author. it’s been the most fun, fictional adventurous learning experience ever<3

i’ve always loved romance and writing. i love creating characters. i love being able to give them a story, name, personality, etc. not to sound dramatic, but it’s truly the most magical experience.

i just finished the second novel which should be out before the end of this year🧡🧁🦋🌙

idk if anyone watches the bachelor on abc but ooo i *need* to air out my frustrations with tonight’s finale somewhere!!!!

more so some of the audience’s reaction to the reaction of the woman who wasn’t chosen because oh my godddd it’s proving how deeply rooted misogyny is in some people!!!!

news flash: a woman can be kind and *still* have a backbone!!!! omg!!! shocking discovery right!!!???

god forbid a woman expresses frustrations over a man blindsiding her🙄 god i hateeee the internet sometimes😭

sometimes i wish it didn’t take me so long to rediscover my love for writing. it’s something i LOVED as a kid. i loved books and was so mesmerized by the fictional world. then that love got lost as i grew older and i only just started rediscovering it almost two years ago.

can’t help but wonder how much closer i’d be to my writing dreams had i rediscovered my love for it sooner or never lost it to begin with.

personal interpretations and preferences aside, there's no limit to what you can make a character say/do without taking them out of character. everyone has a breaking point that pushes them to do what they normally wouldn't. give me the circumstances and events that pushed the character. tell me what they're thinking/feeling. tell me how they're justifying their words/actions, both to themselves and to others. if you can argue it, it'll still feel authentic.

happy one year anniversary to what has become my go to album as a mentally ill girly who has literally never gotten over anything ever: the tortured mental illness- i mean the tortured poets department🖤🤍
