A BRUSH WITH LOVE x BUSINESS OR PLEASURE Local journalist Carrie is desperate for a story. When she sees Max vanish in plain sight, she thinks she's found it. But she never expected to fall for the man behind the headline that might jumpstart her career… #QuestPit #A #R #W

The temptation to pitch one of my other ideas in questpit is soooo strong but no! I must stay focused! Max and Carrie deserve their moment in the spotlight! ✨

Gonna start #FastDraftFeb (my wee personal accountability challenge for one of the shorter and less social-event-filled months of the year for me) this weekend, which means I should probably get some new graphics ready to share... ✨

I'm gearing up to do #FastDraftFeb again next month as I found it a really fun way of holding myself accountable to write regularly while also keeping the zero draft, it doesn't have to be perfect mentality - anyone want to join me?

Hit me with your best fake dating romance recs - for future-editing research, I'm embracing the chaos for now but I need to know if I'm pulling this trope off 😅

Crossposting here from the 🦋, so far the themes have very much been "trust the process" and "omg how do I make them stop flirting so I can end this scene already"

The fake daters are fake dating! The fun and games have begun! I read back a previous chapter and didn't completely hate it! (Yes I'm aware this is a first draft but I am an eternal tinkerer and cannot be stopped)

the agony of listening to a writing craft podcast and realising your last project hit every! single! one! of the points they are making soooo well, and your current messy first draft really doesn't... Well, not yet, at least 💛✨
