Hi everyone! It’s my first post in a month! I deleted all of my socials for February for a break & I’m going to be honest, ignorance has truly been bliss! While I’ve been away I’ve been taking a Stanford writing course & I’m loving it! I hope @charmstrong.bsky.social is ready for my next Query!😂🥳

I was just told it’s #youdeservepit so I thought I’d pop in with this dark romantic suspense I’m currently editing for QUERY this year!!! 🥳🥳🥳

I have stressed all day about which WIP to do for my Romance Novel Writing course. A) the taboo high heat already drafted work that I’d love to get ready for Query or self-pub. B) the grump/sunshine novelette I want to expand into a full length novel but have no idea how to.

Took my book friends to Moonshadows in Malibu back in August while visiting for a movie premiere… we had the best time—such a great memory. I can’t get confirmation, but I’m pretty sure it’s gone. It seems like most everything around it burned down. ☹️

Cannot believe what’s happening in California right now. So far SIL + fam are okay, but many people are not. They’ve lost everything. 💔

Dear future agent, pay no attention to the previous tweet. I promise I’m not that strange. Just a little bit strange.

You know it’s setting up to be a productive Monday when you and your writer friends have a group chat going about Hypnodongs, telepathy threesomes and how detached body parts can still useful. Thank you Nosferatu.

Officially have my first therapy session next Wednesday! I’ve never done this… Is, “my mom might be in a cult,” a terrible opening line? Asking for a friend, ofc.

46,900 words into writing/plotting what I thought was book 2 in my taboo dark romance series, I can finally visualize all 3 books and also see where I need to make revisions in book 1 and cut it. 🫠 Also, I’m never* writing a series again.💀 *famous last words

Just found a phone note that says, “The back & forth between Ali’s internal struggles & Henry’s moral delemma over the course of the book demonstrates elevated levels of bangxiety consistent to a slow burn forbidden romance with a burning-man-effigy level fire.” So that’s it. That’s the pitch.

accountability thread Okay folks, what are our writing goals for today? Lmk below & I’ll check in with you at the end of the day! I’ll be further expanding my WIP chapter outlines today and studying other romance book scene structures to help my “wordiness”. 🫠 #WritingCommunity

Spent a bit of the day studying plot pacing (Romancing the beats + sub plots) in other books that are similar to my style of writing. I tend to overwrite, so I’m trying to study how others efficiently make Romance + 2nd plot work.

Also, can everyone tell me what bookish and writer events we are attending this year (2025)? I don’t know if there are any spots available, but if so, I’ve got play money to attend two!

I got excited today about buying highlighters and colored tabs… What stage of life as a writer would we call this?

As we head into 2025, remember that 1980 is 20 years ago. We all agreed on this.

Me to everyone I meet: “I’m actually very boring.” Mom: joins a cult Me: “and now you know why.” Overcompensating is my toxic trait.

I hope agents are ready for me to be annoying this coming year… I’m going to be querying my high-heat Romance with high-stakes social drama, betrayals, and secrets in 2025!
