guys i think i might dnf… and for once its not cuz the book is bad but cuz i didnt realize it was an overview of the genre and not a guide on how to write.

i dont think im gonna come back to this but it was still slightly entertaining and maybe a bit useful (to know what we left behind at least)

im now realizing this is an overview but not a craft book huh… im kinda tempted to dnf cuz while yes, could be informative just to get familiar w the history of the genre, i dont necessarily wanna waste time yk? i RLY wanna start writing soon and i want practical advice, not history yk?

“Simultaneous orgasm. n. Everyone has them but you.”

LMFAO
ok they funny 😭😭

honestly so far so good?
they’re openly criticizing those alpha males and the tendency to rape and assault women so id say this is already better than the 7 figure fiction??

let’s see if they have solid advice tho! will try to get to 20% tmrw!

js finished introduction!

the book ends on 92% so i have 84% left lol, it’s a lot 😅 i equally want to find this book useful and dnf it

this is the last romance craft book im reading, finally! after that i have more topics to cover so!!!

hoping to finish this one by the end of next week (it’s wed night rn) and i just need smth until i can start deep end! so why not this oneeeeee

it’s a long one, 455 iphone pages (😭) but let’s see if i find it helpful. it has quite a low rating so we’ll see…
