Okay, beautiful people, let’s get honest today. You know those DMs I get asking how I consistently create steamy BWWM romances? Well, here’s a truth bomb – sometimes the words just don’t come. Yes, even after writing stories like “Prejudice & Passion” and “Dangerous Intimacy,” I still hit that dreaded wall.

Writer’s block. It’s like having a hot date with your laptop but your creativity ghosted you.

Want to know my secrets for pushing through? Here’s how I deal:

First, I step away from my desk. Sometimes being chained to your writing spot just makes everything worse. I’ll take walks in my neighborhood, people-watch at my favorite coffee shop, or just lay in my garden. You’d be amazed how many plot twists I’ve figured out while watching clouds roll by.

Music is my second weapon. Each of my couples has their own playlist. When I’m stuck writing Raya and Daemon’s scenes in “Prejudice & Passion,” I blast their songs and let the music paint their story in my mind. Sometimes a single lyric can spark an entire chapter.

Here’s something nobody talks about – I read my negative reviews. Wild, right? But hear me out. Sometimes seeing what didn’t work for readers helps me understand what needs to work better in my current story. Just don’t get caught in that spiral – read, learn, move on.

My secret weapon? I write the scenes that excite me first, even if they’re out of order. Who says you have to write linearly? When I was working on “Dangerous Intimacy,” I wrote the spicy scenes first (don’t judge me!), then built the story around them.

And sometimes? I just write badly. Seriously. I give myself permission to write the worst possible version of the scene. Because here’s the truth – you can fix bad writing, but you can’t fix blank pages.

But my absolute favorite cure for writer’s block? Reading your messages. Your excitement about my characters, your theories about what’s going to happen next, your connection to these stories – it lights a fire under me like nothing else.

So next time you’re stuck in your own creative rut, remember – even your favorite authors battle the block. The key isn’t to fight it, but to dance with it. Take breaks, find inspiration in unexpected places, and most importantly, be gentle with yourself.

Now, I’m curious – what do you do when you’re stuck in a rut? Drop a heart emoji if you want more behind-the-scenes peeks at my writing process!

Back to my latest work in progress… if these characters will cooperate!
