Fluff VS dark romance. Which is better?

Goodbye … we think? I guess we will find out. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about going from a reader to a writer. As readers and writers ourselves, we wanted to share what we’ve learned about writing with you guys. Here’s some not so professional advice, and hopefully some relatable author struggles.

Ever been in a slump?
A reading slump, a writing slump, or a life slump? We have, and we want to share our experiences with you guys.
Take a listen to a little more of a somber and semi serious episode where we talk about how it’s okay not to be okay.
A flop era…

Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction… and sometimes it’s just way more cringe. In this episode, we spill the wildest things guys (and girls) have said or done in real life and compare them to the over-the-top moments we read in books. Spoiler: one is swoon-worthy, the other is just 🚩🚩🚩.

Some tropes just hit different… and man pinning is the ultimate. In this episode, we gush about our undying love for men who pine, suffer, and yearn like it’s their full-time job.

In this episode, we compare the tropes that make fictional worlds addictive with the messy, awkward, and far less cinematic way they play out off the page. Come laugh (and cringe) with us as we realize life is not, in fact, a rom-com.

Wattpad. There’s nothing more to say. Let’s talk all things Wattpad — cause who doesn’t want to be sold to One Direction?

Would you date a mafia man? There’s no denying the very eager “yes”. There’s a cannon event that every girl goes through, and thats believing they want a mafia man. Explore the realities of the mafia with us and spend an hour sulking over the fact that fictional Dons are nothing like real world Dons.
