Okay romance writers — I tried Romancing the Beat to outline a surprise prequel idea that popped up mid-draft.
Do you want the follow-up video where I outline the same premise with 3-Act so we can compare them side-by-side?
Comment “YES compare” or “NO keep it moving.”

Question for romance writers: When you outline, what do you trust more?
Tell me why in the comment I’m testing different structures while drafting my WIP and I want to see what actually works for other writers.

I was drafting my WIP… and a whole new couple kicked the door in like “hi, we live here now.” 😭
Be honest: do you chase the shiny new idea or do you stay loyal to the draft?
(And yes, I outlined the surprise idea using Romancing the Beat. The video is up now 👀)

I tried the book challenge that asks you to find titles matching five prompts:
A Name, A Number, An Animal, A Color, and A Word.
Swipe through the carousel (or watch the short) to see what made the cut 👀
If you try the challenge, drop your categories in the comments!
I need new excuses to grow my TBR.

Update: That "standalone romance" I was writing?
Turns out it was Book 4 of a series I didn't know existed.
New video explaining how I time-traveled through my own story is live now 🕰️📚
Who else has written things completely out of order? 👀
