#Romancelandia, check out this tongue-in-cheek (but very valid!) vid with writing tips from @authordariav.bsky.social, who cracks me up. (Plus her books are pretty great too.) #AmWriting #WritersBlock

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I once described an Ann Stuart book with H/H on the run by saying "They don't stop for ice cream!" & now that's my metaphor of choice. I usually want the angstier version of these stories, where there's no stopping for ice cream along the way. #Romancelandia

Look if we’re ignoring Supreme Court rulings then every American woman has a right to an abortion again

Harlequin authors, THIS INCLUDES YOU! #Romancelandia, this is your bat signal!!!

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

This is a desperate plea to Authors on substack at this point. We all know what it's like to have Amazon as a dominant body we don't want to deal with but for many its the only option - we still look for alternatives. Substack *isn't* the only option. There's loads. Ditch the Nazi bar.

Substack is a Nazi bar but it’s also keeping more of the gate than competitors. Financial dependence on the platform has kept many creators from leaving—this article details the advantages elsewhere: digiday.com/media/former...

I'm just figuring out how to use Pagebound but come join in & friend me—I'm JuliaEdits there. #Romancelandia #AmReading #AmEditing

Hey, Fated Mates listeners - help out our #Romancelandia friends by taking the survey!

I've finished my extremely basic normie tariff discussion. Here's what it looks like.

IF YOU'RE IN LINE TO PISS ON STROM THURMOND'S GRAVE, STAY IN LINE

I just read a GREAT book: @oliviawrites.bsky.social's Second Chance Romance. I always rec her books for #Romancelandia folks who are writing/wanna write, & this one is an absolute masterclass in character voice—the h/h are completely distinct on the page. 2nd in a series, but stands alone. 1/x

Hi! It’s me, with a periodic reminder that I will never join a paid tier of any Substack, by any creator, because Substack platforms and promos white supremacy. If you’re in #Romancelandia & you’re trying to get me to subscribe, you’re gonna have to switch to a different platform.

Disgusted by this entire situation, and doubly so to see so many books I edited on this list. Outright thievery. #romancelandia #AmEditing

"There are few people in England, I suppose, who have more true enjoyment of music than myself, or a better natural taste. If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great proficient." - Lady Catherine de Bourgh

A special sort of hell for readers: I just lost all my library holds. 😭 Truly, a tragedy.

Vivian Stephens needs some help. Let's help her. #romancelandia

#Romancelandia, we absolutely must show up for industry heroine Vivian Stephens—legendary editor, first to pub categories by Black authors with Black characters, founder of RWA. (please share)

Ooh, this is a book I always recommend to folks who want to analyze story and/or are aspiring romance writers. Great book, with a really amazing third act, in particular, that does a great job differentiating between what characters think they want and what they actually need. #Romancelandia

Hey #GenX, have you had a measles titer test? I did, and I had zero immunity. So got a booster, easy peasy. Knowledge is power; find out! slate.com/technology/2...

I called. You should call. You can google for your senators’ direct phone numbers.

Come for the planets/aliens, stay for the Ellora's Cave flashback! (Also: was EC the 1st to try the "we're not paying royalties bc we switched accounting software" thing? Which obvs meant they stole the $ then declared bankruptcy, ripping off authors. Fun while it lasted tho!) #Romancelandia

I'm just one lowly person, but yes we've been flying Southwest almost exclusively for the last few years because of the free checked bags—getting my kid to & from college, for example. We've earned a ton of miles & considered ourselves pretty loyal. Guess that's over now.

Love the words inside just as much as I love this cover! @susannaherwin.bsky.social #Romancelandia

The world is a disaster but I’m having a mammogram today so I’d just like to remind you to have your mams grammed when it’s time. Knowledge is power.

If you're still on Substack but want to make the move elsewhere, I highly recommend Ghost. Email [email protected] and they'll take care of virtually everything. If you're worried about hanging onto subscribers, they kept everything in place from the old place. I've added 100+ new ones today.

👏👏👏 Please do this. I had no immunity!!!

#GenX, how's everybody holidng up after this week's #Severance?
