Now that I’ve finished my first novel. Like finished finished. I guess I get to work on my next one.
If I’m being honest, I usually have about three working ideas in various stages going on all at once.
- There is a sequel to A Case of You that I’ve started to write.
- There is a dirty little roommate romance that has taken over my notes app.
- And there is the thrilling, stroke of genius, fantasy romcom that I am dying to get on the page.
I am a huge fan of campy, tongue-in-cheek, on-the-nose-type explorations of genres and tropes. I love A Knight’s Tale. I adored My Lady Jane and I will never forgive the powers that be for cancelling it after one season. The Princess Bride. Robinhood Men in Tights. Ella Enchanted. The cinematic masterpiece Stardust. Freaking Shrek. Even the Dungeons & Dragons movie.
That being said, I also spent 2024 reading the entire ACOTAR and Fourth Wing series.
I have my opinions- good and bad. I will keep them to myself on this website. Though my TikTok is full of those opinions, so view at your own discretion.
So, after a full year of non-stop romantasy consumption, what else is there left to do but write a trope-twisting hilarious romcom about a woman in her late 30s learning that she is the chosen one of a hidden realm. And I’ve called it Middle Ages. God I’m so proud of that title.
I actually have a 5,600-word outline and the first chapter completed, but I’ve gotten about a million new ideas since I first put pen to paper, so I need to sit down and decide on the direction I actually want the story to go in.
As I get more into this story, I’ll post updates on where I am. It’ll be a much more plot-driven endeavor than what I’m used to. And once I do get a draft or two of it complete, I’ll need a flock of beta readers to help me with it.
More to come ❤️
