Authors share their writing rooms

[zazie_toujours]

Russian-linked, Bannon-friendly and all around bell end Brexiteer Arron Banks decided to come for Joanne Kathleen on the twitters the other day:

Writing room ! Could you be any more pretentious .. https://t.co/mBO4gYLDqv

Which prompted a lot of writers to show off their writing rooms, or well, working

that's so exciting bb! I write f/f for a living if you wanna HMU when it comes out I can plug it for you! Is it trad or indie pubbed? (you said penguin so ??? wow)

[ladywolvs]

tell me more about writing f/f for a living, i have 2 unpublished f/f novels sitting on my hard drive bc i assumed there was no market for them

[senshicalico]

feel free to message me if you want, because I don't wanna get too word and particular in a public ONTD post, lol

but basically, F/F has the lowest income ceiling of all three traditional pairings, but it's totally possible to make four figures, even mid four figures. It does require a release every 1-2 months (can be a novella though) and being trope heavy will get you far. Luckily, lesfic is a lot less restrictive than M/M or M/F subgenres in that readers will read just about anything if they like your lesbian pairings. (So you could write regular romance one month and alternate it with idk lesbian sci-fi another and readers won't really care unless they just really don't like scifi, lol.) It also doesn't require a lot of marketing money because it's not as crowded as M/M and M/F contemp romance.

Thanks, boo! Just sending it in to the open manuscripts call though, it will probably be self publishing.
