Excited to get into my new story, "Have A Nice Say" - it's about love and trauma in a world of voiceovers - from a Christian perspective!

Well my WIP is set on the California coast, so beachside sounds definitely play a part of the story. Especially since the MMCs live right on the beach. Makes for a relaxing soundtrack made by nature

Are there any unique instruments or sounds to your story's setting?

A made up instrument? A special sound in some region? A traditional instrument in a real world setting? The floor is yours, so talk about what you think fits best for your story~

In my current WIP, one of the MMCs is a musician so yes! So far I know that he can play the violin, electric guitar, and drums

Time for you to just talk--no examples required, but they're welcome if you want~

Are there any musical characters or plot beats in your story?

Don't forget to tag!

I would have either Austin Giorgio or Steven Rodriguez make a couple of songs (or more if they wanted to do more) for my current WIP. Their sound and vibes are perfect for this story.

If you could choose one band, singer, or composer to make music for your story, who would you choose?

Music is a very important part of my writing process & I make a playlist for every story that I share in the front matter. Each story has at least 1 central theme song. For my WIP that theme song is Body by Rosenfeld.

#SongsOfSeptember Day 2

What's a song you heavily associate with your story? It could be for the plot, the main character, the main conflict--just one you feel fits it well~

I'll add the full month list below if you want to make sure you don't use a song you want to save for later!

It plays no role. The 4 MMCs are all comfortable sharing the FMC. In my current WIP, I explore how each relationship builds between the FMC and MMC as well as the different spicy scenes.

Swoony and darkly possessive? Anxious and insecure? A healthy dose of something natural to work through? Not explored at all? If not, what do you explore instead? #SumLuv 🧡

All 4 MMCs are such good friends that they live together. I can definitely see at least 3 of them do something like this 😂 especially during their D & D campaigns

I would grow my own harem of book boyfriends 😂😂 just all of them. If I don't want to bang and be with them, then why would my readers? They need to become as feral as I do over them; it's the only way you know you've done your job and wrote great MMCs #SumLuv #Writersky #RH #CurrentWIP #Romancebooks
If they were datable, and available, would YOU date them?

What qualities in them make that more or less likely to happen?

No. There are 4 MMCs and 1 FMC and they all fall at different times. 1 of the MMCs is immediately head over heels and quite determined to persuade her to stick around the same day they meet.

and is there pining? please tell me there's pining 🙏

Oh definitely. 1 MMC is a musician so he could play music with one and we'd all have a sing along easy. Another MMC is a personal trainer which 1 of my besties is too so they could swap client stories. It would be a fun time.

A silly one today about how your characters might behave in the "real" world, and how "real" people might react to them #SumLuv

It depends on the couple. With some it's little, everyday things they do for each other. Others want to get to know each other. Sometimes it's their banter that shows their chemistry.
#SumLuv #Romancebooks #WriterSky #CurrentWIP #RH
How do you show that your characters have "it", have that somethin-somethin, that spark, that je ne sais quoi between them? It's not just finding each other hot, though that's big. It's that other thing...

That... 🧡chemistry🧡

remember content warnings for spicy snips, please #SumLuv

Well the only thing that stands in their way at the beginning is the FMC reiterating their first encounter is a 1 night stand. Then it's a matter of showing her they're serious closer to the end of the book.
#SumLuv #WriterSky #CurrentWIP #Romancebooks #RH
Even the coziest of romances has some tension, some aspect between them that must be unlocked over the course of the story to bring them closer

Is there some insecurity or some misunderstanding that must be overcome? Perhaps there is a very literal plot machination keeping them separate #SumLuv 🧡

Music is so important in my writing process that I make a playlist at the end and add it to the front of each book. Every project has 1 or 2 theme songs too. This WIP's theme song is Body by Rosenfeld.
#SumLuv #WriterSky #CurrentWIP #Romancebooks
Is there a specific song in your text that is "theirs" or that plays a role in their romantic feelings?

Alternatively, is there a song that reminds you of their dynamic?

I love that I actually lived where the story takes place. The first 3 stories I've written have all happened in Manhattan which I've never been to. But my current WIP happens in California, specifically almost exactly where I used to live and drive around in.

Sometimes it's a character unto itself in a romance!

We have subgenre prompts coming up where we can chat more broadly about types of settings, so for now I would love to hear about your *specific* setting and why it's fun/interesting to write a romance in 🧡
