One of the issues I get frustrated with in #writing #fiction is a problem I think only #writers of fiction set in relatively present day in our world deal with.
It used to be that tech moved slowly. But now it's so quick. It changes in just a few years. And if your book takes even 3 years to write, edit, and put out, you worry about some of it feeling dated. And not just the tech; the pop culture references too. ;_;
Anyone else? Just me?

#PennedPossibilities 7 — Which bad habits would your MC like to change?
Marcus - Deflecting hurt feelings with humour and sarcasm instead of talking it out.
Ellis - Shutting down anyone who wrongs him. Being quick to judge and not so great at forgiveness. Getting into pissing contests - figuratively speaking.
Jack - His inability to say no to someone, even if it means he ends up doing something he hates or that hurts him.

"He feels a bond for me?"
"Oh yes," the cat said as it curled up at her feet. "He asks after you often and is quick to anger if your name is mentioned in unfavorable context. It may not be the bond that you wanted, but it is one nonetheless. Perhaps one day it will change into the bond that you do want. The bond between true life-mates."
(two chapters left til 1st draft is completed!)

Last night, I woke up to find my partner still awake. I rolled over to go back to sleep, but he had something to tell me. He told me he just finished my manuscript and thought it was amazing, and that he loved it, and even got teary at one of the main parts and then we stayed up discussing it and talking about plans for it and it was just such a fucking lovely moment of being seen.

I want to do a romance-specific version of #WritingWonders with questions like "In your MCs' relationship, who opens stuck jars?" "What was the worst date they ever went on (do they agree)?" "Can/do your MCs wear each others' clothes?"
Buuuut I don't have 28 of these things. I have five. Tant pis.

Finished my first novel and two full rounds of edits. Now it's off to beta-readers and I get to step away from it for a few weeks before finalizing it.
I made a mood board for my romance novel that I'm obviously supposed to be revising & editing. Instead, enjoy!
