Writing a novel

A MM Romance Book Lives in my Head and One of These Days I’ll Write It.

So yeah. I got into writing fanfiction in 2020 around the time COVID locked us all in our houses. And then I wrote a lot of it. After a while I was like, hey, I’m pretty okay at this and maybe I could transfer this to writing about my own characters. And the goal was born in my head. I am currently in the beginning stages of writing a novel. But that really means I’m just wanting to write a novel. Limited writing has been done on said novel.

Writing a Novel? Sounds Easy… But there’s an issue

The issue being that my writing is stymied since I started on ADHD meds. But one of these days I will publish my own novel. I am getting started with the behind the scenes things like learning how to do Amazon’s KDP thing and learning how to promote my book through the ARC process and how the MM romance genre works.

Reading MM Romance Books for Research

I read over 100 books last year as “research” on Kindle Unlimited. Yes some research, but really, I just like reading. But I have written many many fanfics and I think my writing would transfer well to the MM Romance genre. It’s just, since I started taking Vyvanse, and my brain started working properly for the first time in my life, I haven’t had the need to hyper fixate on writing to get that dopamine fix. I think that’s the only explanation for it.

But boy can I read, and read a lot. Another thing I am wanting to do is write romance book reviews for some of the gems and duds that I have read. And there are a plethora of each sort, for real! I have so many book reviews I could post. I just need to get around to doing them.
