Status Updates From Tú puedes escribir una nove...

yeah. sorry. im dnf’ing. it’s a little bit too much for me, but also not enough. two stars 🥴

i think i need to stop cuz this book makes little sense to me ngl… like it’s different from other stuff ive heard and i am not sure i wanna try a shit ton of different practices…

i did like romancing the bears more cuz while it didn’t have examples, the actual info was way more clear and it made sense to me. this? not so much

taking a break…

wil continue ch3 tmrw… it’s a long one so might not finish, considering I’ll be busy at work and most likely won’t have time to read, but we’ll see

gonna go read the Japanese book now. if dnf’ing, I wanna do it asap 😂

all the messed up tables that make it impossible to read or even understand tf is happening…

I don’t think im gonna finish the book if im quite honest. its 9:35pm, so im giving this book another 30-60 minutes until i go to sleep and if its not better then im dnf’ing and starting another book tmrw

“You already know what your novel is about, so we must differentiate between the Main Plot and the Romantic Plot.”

??

mind u, the page before she says,

“We have a pretty clear idea of ​​what we want to write about, as well as differentiating between the Main Plot and the Romantic Plot”

why did she says that previously when we’re differentiating only now????

the list of questions to answer is helpful as hell!! definitely do this exercise later!

can we get to the useful information part or im gonna dnf…. i literally do not need to know how to write A book. i need to know how to write a ROMANCE book.

i will have books on story structure and conflict and dialogue later. i just want to know about the pacing and how to make the love believable, that’s all

“The main plot and prominent features function so as to imprint its character onto the entire work, whether it is a love story or not. This can be considered a romance novel and the object of this book.”

why are u trying to come into our space and take away from what romance rly is? wdym “whether it’s a love story or not” ?? THATS LITERALLY WHAT ROMANCE IS, A LOVE STORY.

pissing me off

im wondering if i need to keep reading because shes a latina and idk how different their market is yk? like after all, idk any best seller authors that would be writing in Spanish and then get translated

would say this is useful at all so far? it kinda goes against what romancing the beat mentioned and what Gina is saying about love stories so idk…?

also idk how relevant this all is. it just feels like an overview of information that doesn’t apply to me and my case?

I genuinely wanna know how to show progression of love and how to nail the pacing, so romancing the beat was more on point for me

either im too tired but this translation is terrible 😅 but someone on reddit mentioned this book so i wanna power through it. like if i get helpful insights and pieces of advice, whatever

but i def prefer the tone (the language?) or the person who write romancing the best, was sooo much easier to understand

starting this book at the airport on my way back to toronto 😁 cuz why not!

я настроена решительно, очень хочу написать книгу в этом году и найти агента!
дай бог 🥹🤞🏻
