Announcing – RomTalk!

February 9, 2022February 8, 2022

I’m really excited about this little announcement! Thirsty Thursdays just got a LOT thirstier!

It started with a tweet by my friend Hailey, and after a flurry of DMs, RomTalk was born!

We wanted a Twitter chat for all romance writers, so we could hang out, talk about what we love and connect. So our first chat will be Thursday, February 10th (that’s tomorrow). We’ll have chats every other Thursday, and Hailey and I will alternate who hosts, and Hailey will be hosting the first one (so make sure you follow her @byhaileyharlow and me too @nikkihodum). We’ll be using #romtalk during the chat so follow that too. All romance subgenres welcome.

There will be 5 questions, and the chat will go all night / into the next day so anyone who wants to participate can no matter the timezone, work, kids, whatever.

We have some fun things planned, like maybe some CP/ beta matching, pitch contest practice, book chat. If you have any suggestions or things you want to see, make sure to let us know!

I am strongly recommending you get your mood boards and WIP blurbs ready!

So we hope you’ll join us for this new project. I think it will be really fun!

Write like a Mother: Finding Time to Write

A while ago, I wrote about my experience of being a mom and writing. And I got such a good response, I thought it might be interesting to hear from other mom writers. They are all at different stages, write different genres, have different age kids. Some work, some don’t. But the one thing we…

Writing with Littles

Today’s post is a very specific one, but not specific to romance. This one is for the parent writers, more specifically the moms (perhaps I should say primary care giver). Writing with children, especially younger children is so hard. I know because I do it. So I wanted to take some time to talk about…

Shitty First Drafts

Here’s something that no matter how long you have been writing, you have to constantly remind yourself- First Drafts Are Shitty. It’s just a fact. It’s like writing amnesia. You go along, work on a project forever. Then it’s time to start a new one and OMG WHAT IS THIS GARBAGE? It’s a shitty first…
