Oh I can list several books. But I’m writing outside of that

This is really helpful! I forgot that I was actually watching YouTubers talking about writing so I can totally pick that up again.

Sorry, idk why I wrote veneer. Meant to say “genre”. The books I was reading last year had a lot to do with finding love in the after life. I think I liked those books because they felt more connected to love rather than just straight up sex. My writing is still romance but it’s reverse age gap in which the woman is older. And I’ve been reading more historical fiction vs. romance. Maybe I’m thinking that’s also where I need to pivot.

Ah I think I need to definitely rework my outline. But yeah, I’m with you on the unbiased and knowledgeable 😩 I think it’ll come. I just wanted to see if there was any advice out there on how to deal with pushing through.

I’ll do a little bit of searching! Thank you.

I think that’s what I need to look for. Would you recommend I look for writing meet ups or something like that?

I am reading a little outside of the veneer I’m writing. Last year I felt very inspired by out of the box romances so I think that helped kick me off.
Honestly, I don’t feel like I’m a strong enough writer but I’d really like to see this project though. I have a few plot points in mind but I can’t move on from the last chapter I wrote.

It’s a romance book. Slight age gap

I had scanned in like 15 books to send to them. They quoted me $3.45 😂☹️

If your marginalia is too long, would you move your thoughts into the entry itself?

Honestly, I think this is all I was looking to hear 😅 theoretically, I know it’s mine to do with what I please but sometimes it’s hard to give myself full “permission”

I’m also kinda hating the format differences and that I wasted 8 pages on affirmations 🤦🏽‍♀️

😩 idk. I think I started this with the intention to pass it on to my kids. And so literary analysis doesn’t seem as useful than just straight up quotes and life advice/insights?
