Continuing On From Here My Personal Take On Writing Romance Is There Are Three Essential Components:

Continuing on from here my personal take on writing romance is there are three essential components: care/affection, profound mutual understanding and intense mutual admiration.

If you have all three you have the bones for something not just functional but aspirational. If you have the first and second but not the third, you have something that may be more of a deep, strong friendship but I can understand and appreciate the romantic overtones. If you have the second and third but not the first that's classic archenemy-shipping. If you have the first and third but are struggling on the second you have the bones of a painful tragedy. If you only have one, then what you have is probably not a romance, and my real quarrel is with people who think you only need the first.

Mini Review: In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado

Mini Review: In The Dream House By Carmen Maria Machado

Literally one of my FAVORITE books in 2024. This memoir blew my socks off with the level of craft. Highly recommend to read this is you are on the fence about reading memoirs. This is unlike anything I have yet to read in the memoir genre.

I really enjoyed rereading this series recently with my gf. It's so cute and wholesome, and really good coffee propaganda actually. Also! The audiobook is so fun! I love that the author got to do all the voices 🥰
