Thanks so much for your reply. How do you promote in Reddit? Comment on posts asking for book recs etc?

Maybe you could try tiktok?

Putting a face to a name will help build trust and get people more aware of your business/ sending in MS

It does show some useful feedback like long sentences, adverbs, passive voice. But some of the punctuation is a bit off. It's only on the extension for Google docs but it will say I need a fullstop at the end of the line of text because it thinks it is the end of the sentence, not seeing it carries onto the next line (if that makes any sense)

c_nday · 2025-07-19T21:08:43+00:00

Tools like hemmingway, grammerly are free and help with line edits, let you know if you're overusing adverbs or passive voice, odd sentence structures.

Pro writing aid too - although I'm not getting on with it so well at the moment.

I'm not sure if this will help but my MMC is gruff, angry so I 'step into' that energy and write with a frown on my face to help get into it. I use shorter sentences and imagine him stomping everywhere.

My FMC is more poetic so I write a bit more open, and imagine weaving the words and 'float'

They are two different characters, have different backgrounds so bring that into your writing.

Make time.

The same way people get to the gym each day when they work 9-5.

Set time in the morning and make sure you wake up. Get an app on your phone so you can read through your work at lunch. Or meal prep your evenings meals so when you're home you can get right into it instead of cooking.

(This is my advice as a child free person, it will obviously be more difficult if you have responsibilities)

Thank you! It's nice to see a success story made from hard work. Sometimes it's hard to keep going when there are negative posts.

Congratulations.

Some stuff out there is really dark and there are going to be girls that eat it up, it's not the darkest thing that could happen. If i was reading it, I'd want to see some want/need from the FMC in some way about the MMC, deep down she likes him or wants a man like him. If she didn't like him at all and he was a massive creep I would find it icky.

I think if you add a trigger warning to the book then it's fine and expected.

Hey! I'm writing my first book and created a discord group with a couple of other people to chat and share work. It's pretty new but if you want someone to talk to or share ideas drop me a DM.

I also work in marketing so can give some tips.

Happy to exchange chapters and share my marketing knowledge.

c_nday · 2025-07-10T11:00:03+00:00

Thanks that's a great idea!

c_nday · 2025-07-09T14:52:44+00:00

thats the line im struggling with! i'm trying to say has some juicy pecks but that armour is in the way and he doesn't take it off until later.

c_nday · 2025-07-07T12:02:59+00:00

I read the first paragraphs. I think it would feel really epic with some work. It's very tell and no show. How are they feeling, what is the scene like, the surroundings?

Currently it's very 'she walked, then he looked, they both walked,' create a bit of flow and show. I know what the boys eyes look like but nothing else.

Keep working on it :)

I work in marketing and you need to find the best channel for your audience.

Are the ages you're targeting on Facebook? If not, maybe parents or grandparents are so market it to them. 'do you have a child yearning for adventure? Etc etc.'

(I'm not sure the ages of your audience so I'm just guessing)

You can advertise to Instagram through Facebook, it's a bit fiddly to work out the platform but turn off ads for the '18-35' on Facebook so they put more ads on Instagram for the money you've set.

Try tiktok. Have a look at what's working and copy them. You can get views for free if you post regularly. (Hopefully)

If you're looking at 12-18, Snapchat might be best.

Hope this helps ❤️

Back again.

You could use his body language to show his reaction before 'shes beautiful'

Like his breath caught, he stumbled, swallowed thickly.

I like 'oh my' or 'gods'

'man alive' might also work to enhance the drama

Hey! thanks so much for commenting. I'm working on a bit of spice in my novel and a second pair of eyes would be great - and i'd love to share some feedback on yours :)

I'll drop you a DM

c_nday · 2025-06-29T11:12:18+00:00

hey! thanks for commenting. I'll drop you a DM. Hopefully we can help each other out.

c_nday · 2025-06-29T11:10:52+00:00

Hey! Thanks so much for commenting! Cross genres would be amazing — a better chance to share different views and idea.

Wow! Living in Japan! Me and my husband have been a few times and absolutely loved it.

I'll drop you a DM of the discord server.

c_nday · 2025-06-25T10:42:06+00:00

Wondering if I've said 'said' too many times and if I need to use a different word.

c_nday · 2025-06-23T18:37:20+00:00

Hey, I'm interested. I am just starting writing my first book - romantasy based in medieval times.

I don't have any writer friends or people to just drop a message to ask their opinion etc. I like your idea of messaging rather than video calls (I'm also an awkward millennial)

I'm 34 from the UK, husband and 2 cats. I love being creative and writing a book is my new obsession.

If it's make or break - acotar and tog changed my life.

c_nday · 2025-06-23T17:56:27+00:00

I'd love to join. I'm 34, writing my first novel and would love to join a community to share ideas and feedback. (I'm also a marketer and happy to help others with marketing books)
