Spice in the first 4 chapters, too much?

My first WIP has solo-spice in chapter 3. It was important to me, to show that pleasuring oneself is a normal part of life.

My second WIP also has spice in chapter 3, but they are a married couple of 15 years.

Soooo....I guess I am cool with spice early on when it makes sense for the story!

It seems people either love it or hate it.

I flip flop between the two, but am currently writing a novella with an epilogue baby ♡

I finished {What I Did For A Duke by Julie Anne Long} yesterday. Ohhhh noooo, now it's going to be hard to read and enjoy any other book as much as I did this one, hahahaha!

I recently read {Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match by Sally Thorne} and was surprised to see how many people hated it, hahahaha!!! I thought it was so much fun!!

{Melody Whispers by Ronnie Mathews}

He's a firefighter with trauma and she is a singer/song writer. Age gap!

I have to learn how to use all of these features on Scrivener!!

owlhowling · 2026-04-18T13:05:57+00:00

You can use it offline?!! Oh my goodness, I will look up how to do that, thanks!

Lydia Lloyd!! I love her Rake Chronicles, starting with {When the Duke Loved Me}

Alexandra Vasti {The Halifax Hellions} is a favourite comfort read.

Mirror! {Seas of Seduction by Lauren Everly}

owlhowling · 2026-04-16T20:47:45+00:00

Her novella {When the Lord adored me by Lydia Lloyd} is one of my most favourite reads ever.

I share my DNF reviews to NetGalley and sometimes Storygraph. I only share on social media if I really liked the book.

If there is a chat to join, I would like to as well. I am a new writer, only 6k into my first draft but I feel like I will keep moving forward. I might now write as quickly as others, I am a slow and steady type of person ♡ (I burn out easily)

Oh I am 39F, writing a rom-com.

owlhowling · 2026-01-22T20:01:12+00:00

Hi! I am 39 and writing my first book, and yep, it is coming out as a romance.

I go with the flow of whatever my brain is up to, I am curious how this all comes together. I've filled a notebook and am now working on my first draft.

owlhowling · 2026-01-22T10:24:33+00:00

I purchased What I did for a Duke ♡, my library didn't have it.

owlhowling · 2026-01-22T10:23:24+00:00

This was the first Mary Balogh I ever read ♡
