You should give her best friend a romance!!! Then you can also show off the first couples romance a little bit too!
Your ideas sound absolutely amazing 🫶🏻

So if I understand correctly, you want me to make an interconnected standalone and in the second book, I should give her best friend a partner and mention the first couple too. Correct?

“Irl”?? You gave an actual cheater a second chance even as a book girlie? I’m disappointed


message 16: by Kaylee (new)

Kaylee Garrett | 106 comments Mod
Yes!! Make an interconnected standalone and talk about the happy couple from book one! I love books that show after the relationship is working. Also, I’m someone who loves an epilogue and bonus epilogue even so that would just be perfect. That’s also my personal preference

Aayat Bansal | 52 comments what is the approximate number of words if I want my book to be around 300-400 pages long?


message 21: by Aayat (new)

Aayat Bansal | 52 comments The couple is out on a date, and the fmc orders something healthy because she is going on a diet on account of her increasing weight. What do you think I should make the MMC say when he finds out?

Kaylee Garrett | 106 comments Mod
Ex’s best friend sounds sooo good, like a whole he didn’t treat you good so now I will!!
I know there are some guides on Pinterest (yes they actually help) but I think maybe 200,000+ words is standard?
Ohhh, maybe be like, don’t you want something a little more filling?? Because we don’t want him to be a jerk


Rylee Shaw(book hoarder) | 3 comments when there ordering food make the mmc ask what she would recommend, he orders her recc and when the food arrives he could swap the plates(maybe) just an idea

That's a good idea too, but is it something that will send the readers SWOOOOONING? like OMG THIS GUY IS THEEE STANDARD swooning


message 26: by Aayat (new)

Aayat Bansal | 52 comments Is it cheating or copyright if I'm asking GPT to give me opinions and edit what I wrote?


Rylee Shaw(book hoarder) | 3 comments no as long as you write It own words


message 28: by Aayat (new)

Aayat Bansal | 52 comments Is it okay if I use em dashes and Oxford commas? They are often signs of Chat GPT but IT IS IS THE CORRECT ENGLISH. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO REPLACE EM DASHES WITH COMMAS??


message 29: by Kaylee (new)

Kaylee Garrett | 106 comments Mod
I would think your fine, I mean who’s really going to be paying attention to chat GPT references when reading a book? Also I really don’t care about em dashes and have read books with them

3 chapters... I know it's bad.. but only now do I have the time to actually write.. I was also on a writer's block.. I also keep editing so much I can barely make progress


message 36: by Aayat (new)

Aayat Bansal | 52 comments I let the water from the shower wash away my tears. I try to figure out exactly when our relationship began to end, what could have been the turning point? Did he lose interest in me or did he lose interest in me ? There are so many questions I want – no, need – the answers to. Suddenly, Sunday feels a month away. I can’t. I need to go on a mental health walk for a breather. Have I been breathing? I’m spiralling.

I don’t know how long I’ve been in the shower but it sure helped mask my hurt. I walk down into the living room in a hoodie and a pair of shorts.

“I’m hungry. What’s for dinner?” he asks.

Is he playing dumb or does he really not realise how the way he has been treating me could make me feel?

I put my hands in the hoodie pockets and go out without dignifying him with a response.

Ugh, men.

Xaden Riorson would never.

Should I have her be kidnapped/missing when she's out for a walk??
Then the bf's bsf will be more worried about her than the actual bf!!

Aayat Bansal | 52 comments “You’re crazy. The romance novels you keep reading have sent you into a virtual and perfect world. Let me do the honours of bursting your bubble this time, men like that don’t exist in real life.”

“Funny. The men in my books manage basic respect without needing a woman to explain it to them. That honestly seems like a very realistic standard to me. And you know what, and before you start another argument just to avoid admitting you're wrong, there is a lot that needs getting done before Ajaibhav gets here. So will you be a darling and make sure there are no dirty spots on any of the plates and cutlery? The table too.”

message 48: by Aayat (new)

Aayat Bansal | 52 comments “You’re forgetting I had a job before you made me quit.”

“You’re forgetting you had parents to back you up if you failed. We met long after they died. Who do you have now? Who do you think will support you if you fail? Give you a place to live while you struggle to find a job?”

Mentioning my parents’ death was a low blow and he knew that is what would hurt me the most.

Which is why he said it.

Not because he was scared of losing me.

Not because he loved me.

Because he wanted me to be scared.

Scared enough to stay.

Scared enough to believe that a miserable life with him was better than a happy life without him.

For years, that fear might have worked.

Today, it only made me tired.

“You know what’s funny?” I say quietly. “When you saw me about to leave you for good, instead of trying to make me stay, you tried to make me afraid to leave. I know I no longer have parents, but I still have friends that would love to hear I finally left you and support me on my parents’ behalf.”

For the first time, he doesn't have a response.
