Every book is a journey that begins long before the first chapter is finished. Like many authors, I am often juggling the quiet work of writing with the noise of real life. Lately, I have been working behind the scenes on a new project, polishing scenes and making sure the emotional arcs land exactly where they need to.
One of the things I love most about writing romance is watching the characters grow beyond what I originally imagined. Even at this early stage, they have started talking to each other and revealing pieces of themselves at unexpected times. They are already arguing with me, and I am finding that a messy chapter is still progress. I cannot share their names or the title just yet, but watching them navigate their world has been a total surprise.
I have learned that writing in short bursts still counts. A paragraph on a busy day is a win. Those small steps add up beautifully, and I am currently brainstorming how these tiny details will spark the next story in my new romance series. Thank you for being part of this journey with me and for allowing me to share these small glimpses into the process.
