@kgrantwrites

(she/her) I write romcoms about women with good intentions and noble ideas, who inevitably screw up before saving the day and getting the guy. REP: Kiya Evans at Paper Literary Reading and writing in Vancouver 🇨🇦 Follow me on Instagram @kgrantwrites

#booksky #writesky What does a BIG BOOK mean to you? Large? Bestseller? Big ideas? Help me interpret my new sign!

Enjoyed some "me" time browsing in Munro Books in Victoria while on a work trip. #amreading #booksky #romancereader #romancebooks

I just received this in an email from IKEA. Yes, it says meatball flavoured lollipops. I can't be the only person who thinks this sounds disgusting. Please tell me I'm not wrong! #meatballlollipop

It’s been ages since I’ve shared anything I’m working on. This is from my current WIP. #amwriting #writesky #booksky #romance #romancelandia

Black and white picture of house with a turret. Text: last line of dialogue before first kiss from my current WIP

Black and white photograph of a house with a turret. Text: “Interesting,” his lips graze my cheekbone. “Then I guess I should get a proper kiss out of you before you say anything else.”

One is a reward for finishing work on a synopsis for my WIP and the other is for my bookclub. Looking forward to reading this Victoria Day weekend. #booksky #writesky

Today I read in the sun and watched a U14 soccer game. Good book. Good game. Good day.😊 Tomorrow I’ll write refreshed. #writesky #booksky #writingcommunity

Beautiful apple blossoms sighted on my walk this morning.

Here's the one that made me fall over laughing.

picture of the book WILD EYES by Elsie Silver with a quote of first sentence and commentary.

Katey Grant@kgrantwrites· Apr 8

As I re-write a first chapter, I've been thinking a lot about first sentences. Scouring my shelves I found a surprising gem in a book I didn't know I had. See the comments. #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

Black and white photo of a bookshelf with the words "I love it when a first sentence conveys voice, setting, and hint of the conflict or story line to come."

Visited Little Free Libraries in my hood this week. Found this gem for a word nerd: The Bedford Glossary of Critical and Literary Terms. It has a blurb on my genre ... #writesky #amwriting #writingcommunity

Photo of book page with following text highlighted: Romance: A term that has been used at different times to refer to a variety of fictional works involving some combination of the following: high adventure, thwarted love, mysterious circumstances, ardent quests, and improbably triumphs.

Better get to it … #amwriting #writesky #writingcommunity

Black binder with lots of post-it notes and a laptop computer. Text which says, “Today’s job: resolving 1/3 of the Post-it notes on my WIP.”

In the mood to listen to a little Kate Bush today (on a very old cassette tape) after seeing Wuthering Heights last night.

Cassette tape of Kate Bush, The Kick Inside, and a cassette player.

Looking forward to getting back into my WIP. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writesky

Photo of a forest by the ocean with text: "Write what you know." Okay, but ... how about we also write what we want to learn? Parsing life into words isn't easy. Doing it right teaches us as much about the familiar as the strange.

How nice could a romcom be without the word nice? Well, this instance unfortunately comes from the cut chapter I'm still weeping over ... so "less nice." #amwriting #Wipsnips #writingprompts #writesky
