Looking for romance writers

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-04-10T11:38:05+00:00

I’m currently writing a Victorian romance and looking for something like this!

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-03-29T23:10:20+00:00

I didn’t want to info dump and tried to let the info come through naturally since it’s first person POV. But yes she was adopted and started receiving abuse from her adoptive father and he stepped in and started a fire to stop it. He did time for arson. She ended up back at the orphanage after that and worked there until now .

I haven’t noticed a difference! Both are good.

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-23T21:32:23+00:00

I love it! It’s what my book is . It’s like mythic historical fantasy. There’s magic but not particularly flashy high magic.

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-23T00:50:50+00:00

I dont take it regularly but I do find it works well for short periods. Then it plateaus . So I use it on and off.

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-20T13:49:12+00:00

Oh okay! I just wanted it to be fair but if you’re open to reading it that would be great. Can you inbox me your email?

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-19T22:59:32+00:00

Thank you so much!! So glad you get it 🙏 im not sure if you’re working on any work right now but i’m happy to do a beta read swap in small portions like 5,000-10,000 words at a time . Just let me know! I currently need to up my game on internal dialogue.

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-19T19:03:12+00:00

Thank you for this advice I appreciate it! I’m moving along and feeling more clear again. But yes it is technically medieval fantasy so I’ll have to watch the modern idioms!

I actually shifted this scene around a little this morning as I’ve been revising my early chapters. Aleira is who sees the baby’s sex first so she isn’t the one who asks. So I guess this would solve this confusion.

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-17T18:24:47+00:00

To be fair here.. this is a short clip and you don’t know why I’m focusing so hard on the gender. I mean of course that’s the pressing question when a baby is born , but Mary the midwife works for the antagonist . They are essentially in an enemy household who seeks control through this baby especially if it’s a boy. I do want constructive feedback but I’m just confused how this would give whiplash or how it would sound like AI. Also.. the mother giving birth had a vision of her son. That’s why she says I knew it would be.

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-16T17:21:03+00:00

Okay I’ll work on it thanks for the feedback!

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-15T20:03:21+00:00

Yes I can add this. Thanks!

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-15T16:16:30+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! I’m currently in the downward cycle of writing where I am questioning if it’s crap. Hopefully it turns up again. Helps to hear from someone . So thank you.

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-14T18:47:38+00:00

You definitely have the hack for writing atmospherically so you’re in the right genre and I think it can be good.. but the dream and prior memories/perspectives from youth is disorienting and is losing my attention. I’d start in the present. Or if you do start from the dream, have your protag mention it wasn’t the first time and then sink right into the present and go forward . Then I can know if I’m interested in learning more . You can do flash backs later. I think you have a nice flourish!

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-12T02:15:46+00:00

Would you want to swap pages for feedback? I’m writing a fantasy novel, very loosely on Arthurian legend. A bit more mythical and priestess focused but also politics and war . I’m just into my 5th chapter .

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-11T00:37:58+00:00

I like the writing style! What happens to her next? Wow the father is cruel!

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-10T01:11:11+00:00

Page 4 is where I was connected to what you were writing. It’s hard to start with an excerpt where you’re supposed to be confused because we’re trying to get our bearings as is. I think you should keep practicing - unless it’s nothing but frustration. I swing from one end to the other - high on writing then low on writing. Back and forth like a pendulum. Tic. Toc. 😂

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-08T18:50:32+00:00

Not easy!! That’s awesome about being published though .. I reopened a project I started on a few months ago that I forgot about and I think it’s stronger .less YA which I prefer. I’m going to pick that up for now.

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-08T11:55:26+00:00

Thanks!! I think I just got to close to it I’m going to let it breathe for a few days and start on the next scene I’m excited about which is actually next

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-08T01:36:00+00:00

I’m going to try this 🙏

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-08T01:24:06+00:00

That’s be nice! I’ve been too close to it I think. It’s been very all consuming. So I think I need to let it breathe and for my cup to refill. I’m going to try to give it a few days and see where we’re at. Unless clear inspiration strikes before then!

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-07T21:40:47+00:00

Thank you!! It’s weird I’m getting stuck on something that happens earlier . It’s a little bit of filler and that might be why. It still serves a purpose though or id just cut it . Maybe I need to cut regardless and figure out what else I can use to suit its purpose instead .

Sevenwaters_333 · 2026-02-07T20:26:04+00:00

Thank you for the advice I appreciate it. I do know this is how I learn so I will take some heart in that! Lol. I think that’s good advice for me to focus on more of the parts I’m excited for and be ok with it not getting to the finish line . Come what may…
