» LATEST BIG UPDATE-POST ABOUT MY BOOKS/WRITING

✦•♡ ↓ ABOUT ME ↓ ♡•✦

I'm a Swedish author in love with the English language – especially in its written form. I write dark and spicy romances with emotions at the forefront, weaving together twisted tales and the souls of broken people as they find love between bullets and sheets. I have a degree in Library & Information Science, with English and Religion as electives, and previously worked as a librarian (still do from time to time) before I created Deering Publications – throwing myself headfirst into writing and publishing independently after many years of writing for the pure fun of it (if you're here, dear fandom Tumblr, I love you!).

✦•♡ ↓ MY BOOKS ↓ ♡•✦

I write DARK/DARK THEMED and SPICY/SMUTTY romances with emotions at the forefront as well as layered plot, character development, and often a theme of trauma-healing (sometimes the healing is done through that sweet cathartic violence). My books are for ADULTS! There are adult themes and graphic depictions of sexual content, gore, bodily harm, trauma (physical/emotional), death, torture, alcohol consumption, etc. I am mostly in the "DARK ROMANCE" subgenre where morally grey rules - my novellas are closer to romance with dark elements (think escaping an abusive ex or overcoming a dark trauma).

I know adverbs are controversial, but "said softly" means something different than "whispered" and this is the hill I will die on.

[rosanarainhart]

I just found the funniest font ever

Like. What is this. Why is this. Who is the target audience of this?

[rosanarainhart]

to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

If you’re having writers block…READ!!!! CONSUME MEDIA

I feel like I don’t hear that given enough as advice for writers block..just read? Watch tv? Movies? Find inspiration in media.

Writers block is a lack of inspiration, so go collect more.

[rosanarainhart]

Going to start focusing more on Tumblr - I adore this site but haven't quite figured out this side of it and seeing what's happening with my current "posting place" I'm feeling like:

So, if you're part of bookblr, writeblr, readblr, and enjoy romance books with spice and character-driven plot - HELLO!

BLURB:

His violent little goddess, the beacon lighting him up from within, grows ever stronger as Rawler pushes Fiora to explore her darkest desires — violence is in her blood, a suffocated flame he fans with a fierce passion which only she can unleash within him. But what happens when a heartless mobster’s emotions run free? When his heart pounds and the challenge of caring becomes overwhelming; losing control is inevitable.

As war erupts on the streets of Kaine Bay, Fiora’s incessant need to claw at the world, the buried truths hidden in history, is soon to be let loose upon the world. With Rawler by Fiora’s side, forcing her to face the reality of who she is, what she is becoming, the only option left is acceptance of her true self within her newfound family of criminals. 

He liberates her violent nature. She captures his broken heart. Sometimes, violence is the answer.

I need everyone’s best character advice. STAT.

[rosanarainhart]

I hate to say this, and like, rain on everyone’s parade, but after scrolling past three posts about it on a writing tag …

If you are looking up synonyms to exchange words out in your story with the purpose of sounding smarter, more sophisticated, or complicated to your reader, you are probably abusing the thesaurus.

Now, if you *want* to do this, I mean, you can write whatever or however you want! But I just want you to know that this is frowned upon if you are trying to write at a professional level.

I have an old article on this somewhere …

If you want to look at the original article…
