π β How NOT to flip a trope (I'm breaking it down!)

Hi Reader! Greetings from subzero Colorado, where breathing feels like inhaling a Halls drop! When your weather forecast says today's high is going to be a negative temperature (yes, in Fahrenheit!), you get real thankful for warm houses and work-from-home jobs. π₯Άπ₯οΈπ Luckily, I'm a romance book lover, and those are always sure to warm me up. Get your mind out of the gutter! Not like that. (Well, okay, yes π like that, but ALSO because happy endings are just so darn fulfilling. π₯°) And if you too are a romance book lover who also writes romance, π you should definitely sign up for the Writing Romance Mastery Summit! π€« It officially starts next Monday, but you can get early access and binge the sessions right now when you upgrade to the All Access Pass after registering for your free ticket. π€π (Psst!

β π β How NOT to flip a trope My session goes live (for free ticketholders) next Wednesday, January 29th, and whooo boy is it a fun one! I get REAL honest about the things readers despiseβwhen "flipping" a trope, specificallyβand how you can fully avoid pissing off your readers when you're drafting your story. π€ So what the heck is "flipping" a trope?

The conference officially starts next Monday, January 27th but you can skip the line... π When you upgrade to the limited-time-price $67 pass (just after registration), you will unlock... π IMMEDIATE (early) access to ALL sessions (including mine, which doesn't air for free tickets until next Wednesday morning!) π» Ongoing access to the replays (no expiration!) π A whole slew of goodies to help you master writing romance novels

After about 5 minutes of investigation, I realize that this π is the culprit... π Naughty Loki! The cork had exploded from the bottle, and the...
Hi Reader! Stories matter most when they resonate deep in a reader's heart. Right after recording my recent guest spot on The Author Next Door podcast with Angela Haas and Cassie Newell, my heart felt so full. π₯° For a whole hour, we dove into what makes writing romance such a special career niche. π₯ We got real about trends in the romance-writing industry, then went deep on what transforms typical snooze-worthy characters into unique, compelling, everyday people that readers connect with. π€...
Hi Reader! I spent a lot of years doing 1:1 work with authors, first as a developmental editor and now as a story coach. 𧩠And there's one conversation that I seem to have over and over. It usually starts with: π€ "Sue, something feels... off with my story. But I cant figure out what." The plot makes sense. The scenes flow. The characters are interesting.
