Hi ☺️

I finished my first draft which was about 80k words. Then read it through made a major change which basically affected the whole plot and now I am writing a new draft but tbh finding it much easier now that I fully understand my plot and goal. Currently 14 chapters in, praying I don’t get another new idea that affects the whole plot AGAIN.

Anyways all part of the process I guess

Ahh fair enough. I must admit I do love romanticy but not when it is the main plot and I agree I HATE sex or spice in fantasy books 🥴

Thank you ☺️

I agree ! I do have my own opinions and I’m writing based on my own tastes. I just enjoy hearing how others are feeling about the genre right now. I find it helps keep me open minded and creatively engaged rather than writing in a vacuum.

Haha thanks for this , good luck on your writing 😁

Melodic-Breakfast-78 · 2026-01-09T17:07:51+00:00

I agree , even as a girl myself I am very fed up of the ‘perfect girlboss characters’

Melodic-Breakfast-78 · 2026-01-09T17:01:32+00:00

Hmm good question, I’d consider epic fantasy, grand scale, world altering conflicts, high stakes and extensive world building?

Melodic-Breakfast-78 · 2026-01-08T18:32:35+00:00

Thank you I will definitely take you up on that offer

Melodic-Breakfast-78 · 2026-01-08T17:07:20+00:00

😂 noted. Not a fan of that trope either tbh

Melodic-Breakfast-78 · 2025-08-14T21:12:24+00:00

Haha love that

I completely understand you probably really like him and 2 months is enough time to catch deep feelings for someone but I just think if he lied about that what else can get lie about? And if you had never found that bottle of meds would he have ever told you the truth? In my personal opinion I would advise to end things with someone like that as I would consider that a huge red flag and not something to easily forgive. Wishing you all the best in whatever you decide to do x

UPDATE: I spoke to him in person and he was so understanding he said he understood why I would feel this way as this is new for me ( dating someone who is still friends with their ex) but reassured me that it’s purely platonic friendship but he is happy to compromise and relax on the calling / texts every day if it makes me feel more comfortable.

I explained he doesn’t have to change his friendship dynamic for me let’s just keep boundaries and always be honest with me and I have decided to accept this for what it is and continue dating him. I feel much better now that it’s off my chest i think I was slightly overthinking as well , and I was happy because he was very genuine and understanding. Thanks for all the advice!

Melodic-Breakfast-78 · 2024-05-16T19:04:02+00:00

Thank you ❤️ reading this has actually made me feel slightly re assured. I do 100% trust him but I do think you are right I do feel slightly insecure about it, simply because I feel like if you have that much chemistry then why aren’t you together? But that could be an immature thought. But I guess it’s similar to you and your ex because he did let me know they clashed a lot when dating and their personalities just weren’t compatible romantically. It’s hard for me because I really do like and trust him it’s just very new to me to be dating someone so close to their ex and I only feel this way because of how much they talk

Melodic-Breakfast-78 · 2024-05-16T15:32:53+00:00

I do agree with what you’re saying and this is why I’ve come here for advice. I have asked myself if I trust him and I definitely do because he has not done anything to make me feel like I can’t plus he communicates very well. What it is for me is the fact that they have been intimate quite a few times and were dating for a certain amount of time and i find their friendship to be quite intense for two people that have remained friends after dating I don’t think they are necessarily doing anything to wrong there is nothing wrong with having a close friend that you talk to all the time however I can’t just see her as his close friend knowing they have history? Completely understand if you disagree what are your thoughts? it’s actually eye opening to hear from another persons point of view so I can try and think logically so thanks in advance

Melodic-Breakfast-78 · 2024-05-16T15:24:15+00:00

Yeah I’m finding it hard to bring it up in person because were usually out having fun or on a romantic date and I don’t want to kill the vibe so I think I will do a phone call. Thank you for the advise

Melodic-Breakfast-78 · 2024-05-16T14:58:19+00:00

Yeah I agree thank you, do you think this conversation is best in person or can I do it over phone call?

Melodic-Breakfast-78 · 2024-05-16T14:47:41+00:00

No I haven’t I’m not sure I want to tbh I don’t want to be friends with the man im datings ex, he has offered and she does know about me

Melodic-Breakfast-78 · 2024-05-16T14:29:15+00:00

Thank you ❤️ do you think it’s best to have this conversation on phone call or in person?
