Do you, yes you, specifically YOU, think that a romance, short story, written entirely in a manner that uses cliches, overused tropes, and romantic hyperbole, would sell, with the understanding that it is written as a work of jest?

Screenshot of a Word document. Text reads: “Usul,” he crooned. He slid his hand down her belly to her lower lips, which had been split apart by his manhood, rubbing first one side of her slit and then the other. His fingers teased small flashes of pleasure from her body, lessening the burn of him easing his way deeper between her thighs. He groaned as he bottomed out in her, pausing only a moment before covering her hands with his. Then he pushed her forward, forcing the rest of her body down onto the fur as he pulled her hands further up the bed. She was lying spread-eagle beneath him now, trapped under the hard planes of his body. They were so close that she could feel him press down on her as he inhaled, and she tried to focus on his breathing, tried to match her breaths to his. It didn’t change anything, she told herself, that he had two members where a man had one. She’d already prepared herself to be taken either way; that he could do both at once meant nothing. Still, it felt so different. She’d thought she was full before, but now she was filled to bursting. How could she even fit all of him inside her? Her membranes were stretched thin, and she could feel his organs twitch against her. Bostik laced his fingers between hers, lifting his head to nuzzle the back of her neck. He alternated between tender kisses and soothing murmurs, though his voice was husky with need.
Happy Friday and thank you for the tag!

Excerpt from "The Dove and the Hawk": He nodded and entered, finding the room spacious and warm. The furniture was heavier and darker than he was used to, the rugs and tapestries richer, the heavy curtains thick to keep out the cold. He glanced over at the great bed, which was low to the ground and heaped with furs. “I grow cold more easily,” she said, seeing where he was looking. “But now that you’re here, you can keep me warm.” He flushed, though he knew her words were innocent. “Who has been staying with you?” he asked. “Lisse watches me at night and helps me when I walk,” she answered, sitting on a bench covered in pillows. He went to join her. “And how often is that?” he asked, taking her hand. “Not as often,” she said quietly. “But I… I’ve started to remember my dreams.” He held her hand more tightly, not knowing what to say. “I always realize I’m dreaming,” she continued, “but I can’t change anything. I just have to watch it happen all over again.” Her voice tightened, and he put his arm around her. She leaned into him, and they sat like that for a while. “You must stay here with me, im-uvnyan,” she told him, and he nodded. “As you wish, im-uvnya.”
Here's an excerpt of the scene being depicted above, when they reunite at the royal palace where she grew up and has returned to have her first child

As a therapist, many clients have asked me, “Is it ok I talk to myself?”
I tell them, “As long as a distinct other personality doesn’t talk to you back.”
Yet, in writing that’s exactly what happens with characters…hmmm

My writer's anthem is: Middle Fingers by MISSIO.
Why?
I write to subvert tropes, consumerism, sexism, and classism.
What's your writing/artist anthem?

Are authors ever really in competition?
If a reader reads a good book, it's probably the best incentive for them to consume another.

I meant to type "they stopped for beers and burgers" but instead I wrote "bears and burgers" and that would be an entirely different kind of romance.

And of course, there's a plot between the hero and heroine, or hero and hero, or heroine and heroine. #writingromance
And the first draft of Book 40 is complete! #harlequinMedical #MedicalRomance #romance #writingromance #amwriting #writingcommunity @millsandboon.bsky.social
Pushing hard on the wordcount this week and so far managed 6k words in 2 days! #amwriting #writingcommunity #writingromance
2 million words in 10 years is the equivalent of 2 full length standalone novels of 100k words each PER YEAR. And now I remember I actually took a year out, so ... it's even more! #amwriting #writingcommunity #writingromance
Realising today that as I'm nearing the end of my 40th @millsandboon.bsky.social #MedicalRomance, this means I've written 2 million words in 10 years! And that's if you assume I only ever did one draft of each one! #amwriting #writingcommunity #writingromance

Unfortunately, "Strangers Meet and Draw Blood" isn't pithy in the "meet-cute" way. Or nouny. Oh. OH. Meet-brute?

A book "wrap" design showing back cover, spine, and front cover. Front cover shows title "Not Too Late" in loopy script on a cassette tape and pair of rollerskating feet beneath, then the subtitle "A Gen X romance" by Samantha Bryant
Sneak peek: I'm planning to release this book for my birthday (April 2026) and I LOVE what my cover artist did for me. Isn't it beautiful? #bookcover #authorlife #writingromance #genX
