I'm doing a writing seminar and autocorrect changed Setting in my notes to Getting. Half the time, I have to correct autocorrect. I appreciate spell check - I can no longer spell long words - but I'm considering turning it off to keep it from rewriting me as if it knows better. Yeesh!

AI is making all the little things I do online, like internet search, worse. Definitely enshittifying the internet. It’s also offering random and annoying spellchecks when I type. “Talk” becomes “Yellow” or whatever. Truly dystopian.

So I set myself a goal to write one trope-heavy #romcom short story a month in 2026, because I had so much fun with holiday tropes last December. Then I decided I'd write one novella a month, then expanded the concept even more and...I'm not done with my January story. It turns out that doubling the

Coming Soon: The 12 Tropes of 2026
Also - Happy New Year!
There's nothing better than writing when it pops, and that's how I felt writing The 12 Tropes of Christmas stories. So I'm going to extend the challenge to myself: a new short story every month in 2026, each one centered on a different trope.
What's your favorite romance trope?
