Started on Chapter 30 tonight, crazy to think this is the last chapter of the book! #mmromance β€οΈπŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

Samune is the location for the majority of #TheFalconersPrince. It's a sprawling town turned city that includes all walks of life and a mystery waiting to be uncovered. πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ #mmromance #WIPSnips

Chapter 27 is complete! With that, just one more chapter and we're done with the first draft! πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ #mmromance

Gentle reminder that ratings/reviews really help indie authors with visibility for their books. So if you really enjoyed a work, one of the best ways to show it is to drop a quick star rating on AZ, GR, or SG.

Finished chapter 1 of book 2 yesterday morning! It's an interesting experience to be writing Hari, who is completely the opposite of Indra. Eager to share more about our second pair of boys, but we might hold off on that until Indra and Tazzire's story is complete ✍️ πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ #mmromance

We just secured our first developmental editor! πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰ β€οΈπŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

This writing retreat has been so great for us! We've finished 2 chapters and started on the first chapter of the second book! Only have 2 chapters left to go for the first book~ And already planning a second series to be written alongside the first one πŸͺ½πŸ—‘️ πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

Joni here! πŸ‘‹ I finally created a StoryGraph and would love to follow other indie/romance/queer authors on there. I'm excited to check out the new platform and connect with readers and writers. #writingcommunity #storygraph β€οΈπŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

Would any writing trip be complete if we didn’t go to a bookshop and cafe? β€οΈπŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

Looking at getting at least 7K done for this month to finish up our debut novel! β€οΈπŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

Only a few hours into our getaway, Nylah and I have already done so much! It's crazy learning how much goes into a debut novel. There is also a little kitten that hangs outside the house we're staying at. Haven't been tempted to take him home...nope not at all...πŸ‘€ β€οΈπŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

Nylah and I are getting close to finished our first draft so we took a little writing getaway this weekend to plan and focus! I had my trusty co-pilot with me! -Joni πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

Today's #WIPSnips is a perfect opportunity to introduce one of our animal companions: Eleanor. She's based on an American Goshawk, but as you read, you might find there's something special about her 🦜 πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

A little taste of our two protagonists spending time together and /mostly/ getting along πŸ˜‚ #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #MMRomance πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

Chapter 28 is officially complete! Only 3.5 chapters to go! πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

Some days you’re able to easily knock out 2k words and some days it’s around 350 and some days it’s none. Progress not perfection. Just keep writing! ✍️ πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

Authors of #booksky, explain your story badly: Guy who loves birds is forced to return home by a stupid hot too snobbish prince that he definitely hates and is not in love with at all. πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

Another 782 words in the book tonight~ Getting there. A busy weekend meant slow progress but at least some progress is better than nothing ✍️ πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

Fun fact: a baby hawk is called an eyas (eye-es) Have learned so many things about birds while researching this book. Gotta know everything about our two companions~~ 🦜🐦 πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

Picked up this today! Joni recommended it but told me not to look up anything about it so I'm going in blind! -Nylah #EliotSchrefer #AmReading #TheDarknessOutsideUs πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™

"Why write Romance?" Romance= happily ever after. Life is full of heartache, open endings, unanswered questions, among other things. Romance, no matter how dramatic along the way gives me the satisfaction of an answer at the end. It's a balm on my anxiety in everyday life. #indieauthors #booksky

Ended up with 842 words tonight between the two of us~ Making steady progress πŸ’• πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

Managed 681 words of chapter 28 last night, trying for more progress on 23 and 28 tonight. Can't believe we're getting so close. We're gonna be able to start looking for alpha readers soon!!! πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™πŸ“šπŸŒΆοΈ

Success as a writer isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether it’s selling your first book, finishing your manuscript, or seeing your work published, it’s up to you to define what success means. Celebrate every milestone - big or small. Writing itself is already a victory. #WritingCommunity #writerslift

Taking it a bit at a time because that's all we can do right now. Trying to at least focus on personal goals and keep writing. #BookSky, what are your writing and reading goals for this week? Ours are writing chapters 23 and 28 πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸ’™

Wrote all day and got the chapters done! Only 4-5 left to go~~~~ #WritingCommunity #BookSky #WriteSky

Goal for today is getting chapters 21 and 26 done. Thankfully it's a holiday so we can spend today fully focused. We gotta~ πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜… #BookSky #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
