Mistress Ann needs your input...
Mod
Do you ladies think it's too racy?
I think it looks fine, although I was going to suggest something cute like a stick figure boy and girl holding hands with a little love heart between them but yeah yours is much better so ignore me! I am cute obsessed, maybe that's why my day job is as a preschool teacher - cute kids, cute toys, cute books, and at home I collect teddy bears so the cute theme continues!! So, yes, definitely ignore me, I don't even write cute romances, so definitely ignore me, I don't know what I'm talking about!
Mod
(Skip forward a scene)
...it's a bloody massacre LOL!!!
Forgive me, ladies. Love. We're all about the love. Yeahhh.

Nope. Looks great:)

I have a whole shelf of bear figurines in our bedroom and it looks totally out of place but I will never get rid of them. Good thing my husband doesn't care!

Give me time to think. I have no idea at this point...lol Always wanted to be one of the first in a group. *jumps up and down with excitement*
Thanks again for the invite
Mod
What do you say, ladies?
And, yes, whenever you think up stuff, feel free to share. I'm good with big picture and doing stuff but...
Sooo bad with details hahaha!!
Big little group hug,
Ann
Mod
Teddy bears!!! I have a small collection of real fur ones. But don't worry!! They were made from old coats ^_^
Mod
Do you think we should be "Romance Writers & Readers" instead?
Eh?
Annie wrote: "Nah, thank YOU for accepting, Miss Amanda!! And yes, methinks the first 13 (cuz I like that number) should get a special title.What do you say, ladies?
And, yes, whenever you think up stuff, fee..."
Lol. What's not to like about the number 13! And I would love to feel special. *grins like a kid in a candy store* (And I really love candy!)
I'm bad with details as well. I hate to call myself a follower, but.... If I really have to take the lead I suck it up and do it.
Mod
Darn.

I had to switch to my computer. I really hate the mobile version doesn't let you reply to individual responses. Drives me nuts.
I have the furry kind as well. My collection has dwindled as I get older, but I've always loved them.

Eh?"
You're the Romance leader *we bow to you* *giggles* If you want readers as well, then definitely. Of course, we are all readers, aren't we? I barely go a day when I'm not reading another book.
My 6 year old today asked why didn't I read out loud like her. I had to explain she's still learning and needs to read out loud so we know she's reading the words correctly. Then told her she'd be reading the words in her head, like me, soon enough. Thankfully she enjoys reading.
Annie wrote: "Well, (I think) I'm good at leading. It's just that... *grins sheepishly* ...I don't always know where the heck I'm supposed to be going hahaha...haha...ha...Darn."
You're doing great. *grabs my pom-poms*
Mod
Kids are so darn observant, eh?
And I am definitely NOT the Romance leader. Unless, you guys wanna call me Queen Ann, then that'll work.
(I'm kidding! I prefer Mistress Ann anyway ^_~)
Annie wrote: "Annnd please tell me you like gummy soda bottles... *looks hopeful*"I have to admit I had to google that. lol. So I have to try it out first, then let you know. But I'm sure I would. Anything sweet and I'm sold. My husband will by some beer and I'm always like, "Grab me some chocolate."
Annie wrote: "Oh, man...Kids are so darn observant, eh?

Mistress Ann...love it! Sounds so seductive *cue bedroom eyes*
Mod
*nods agreeably**bakes all things chocolate**burns everything*
Oh, dear...Miss Jane...help...?
Mod
*genuinely begs forgiveness*
Mistress Ann, eh? *smirks* I'll have to work on my bedroom eyes, though LMAO!!
Okay, I just added you all as a friend because it said I had no friends in the group and that made me sad. :( Problem solved. Happiness re-instated.
Mod
Problem?
Yeah, I have issues. But, I mean, that was obvious to begin with sooo...
Annie wrote: "Amanda wrote: "Okay, I just added you all as a friend because it said I had no friends in the group I just love you ladies so much and that made me sad. :( there was no other choice, really. :)Pr..."
lol. I have no idea how to even cross out words like... your skills amaze me

This is me trying it just to see if I can get it right. *rubs hands vigorously before plunging in*
Let's see if I can do this right.
Late to this conversation but I do like the cover photo. Maybe have a thread for flash fiction where you post a photo and people write a short story based off of it in so many words?
Annie wrote: "Hahaha!!! I just pictured some cutesy, lovey dovey stick figures and...(Skip forward a scene)
...it's a bloody massacre LOL!!!
Forgive me, ladies. Love. We're all about the love. Yeahhh."
I was actually thinking hmmm my "I love cute stuff" comment didn't really go with my dark, disturbing romantic suspense writing!
Hahaha . . . you guys are so funny!
I absolutely LOVE teddy bears, I have over 200, my biggest is almost as big as me!
Ann, doing more baking today but I thought I should take a chocolate break, been totally obsessed with it since my surgery in May, so I am making oat slice, cos I love oats, and so I can prove I can live a day without chocolate!! Maybe! Not so sure, I do have Toblerone lying around!
Back on the topic of your original question, I am not a Facebook fan but did join earlier this year, and I do quite like interacting with other authors on there, especially for things like when someone tags me in something where I'm supposed to share 7 lines of my work in progress then tag other authors, but I don't have any other author friends to tag, so I was thinking while I know there are post your Facebook pages in other groups, I would particularly like to have other authors who write similar genres to look at their author pages, and add as friends if they'd like, so maybe a folder for that?
Mod
But that was a temporary one (it's actually the image from my cover for book four LMAO!!). I'm gonna whip up one with a title now...
Any requests?
Like should we be RWR for short? Or you ladies like the full name written out better? Might be small in the profile pick, though...
*ponders*
Shall add a facebook share folder (even though I'm terrible with FB haha) and a flash fiction folder too (LOVE this idea!!!)
Hugs,
Ann

Whatever works for the image. I know, that was so helpful...lol.
I'm terrible with FB as well. I do post on it for my own author page, but I'm not so good at interacting with others on it. I like Twitter for that. That's my go-to place for interaction for sure.
Mod
*crowns you**bows humbly*
Annie wrote: "You were the QoT (Queen of Twitter) during Hash's Bash!!!*crowns you**bows humbly*"
haha....I didn't think so, but thank you so much for the praise and title. I'm normally only the Queen in my house, and sometimes that's sketchy. *cue two drama queens-a 3 yr old & 6 yr old*
I don't even like Facebook or twitter, and resisted for years before finally giving in and going both earlier this year. I can't get the hang of twitter, but I try to regularly comment on people's posts on Facebook, I would be totally happy to live without both though!I'm also terrible with my website! Basically all I can do it write, everything else I have no idea what I'm doing!
Mod
@Miss Jane: Hahaha! Methinks that's most authors. Actually, before I started writing, I didn't have a clue about websites. Googled everything. Every step of the way. It was painful...
*sobs uncontrollably*

*bows to the mistress*
I still google everything. Lol. Maybe too much. My 6 yr old says, "Go Google it, Mom." That's so bad.
A queen and a mistress, can I be a princess? Princesses are way cooler than queens that's why it's Disney princesses and not queens, they're always evil! Except you of course Queen Amanda! Oh and Ann in the fun folder you should have an emoji thread so I can copy (and steal!) them for posting!
Mod
*crazy laughs*
And, yes, Princess Jane. I'll whip one up now.
Jane wrote: "A queen and a mistress, can I be a princess? Princesses are way cooler than queens that's why it's Disney princesses and not queens, they're always evil! Except you of course Queen Amanda! Oh and..."
*cackles and rubs hands together* I might like being a little evil. Never tried it before.
I love all the Disney Princesses. You have my vote as a princess.
Mod
Something about made me giggle snort. Just saying.

My work here is done! Lol.
And that's my cue. My Twins won the game and I'm off to bed. Night, night all. I will be having wonderful dreams as I hope you all have:)
Mod
Just ignore the post I made in whatever other thread I made it in haha!
Nighty night ^_^
Thanks for letting me be a princess, Ann!
Mod
You may choose, of course ^_~
Alrighty, ladies. I finally put up a new profile pic for us. Well, same old pic with some letters thrown on top haha! If anyone doesn't like the font or prefers something else altogether, lemme know.
Good night, my lovelies!
Hugs,
Ann
I don't mind Aurora, but Belle is my favourite cos she loves books! Totally love the Beast's library! I'm going to stop myself before I start on a whole 'I ♥ Disney' ramble!
Mod
I'm Mulan. For obvious reasons! Actually...
*ponders*
I really AM like her hahahahaha!!
Mod
Now it's square.
Lemme know if you ladies would like a different image or font or whatevs ^_^

Mulan is badass! I love her. And those songs are awesome. I really love Disney songs.
Mod
I'm your girl.
And, yeah, go figure I'm like the one princess who's not even a darn princess, eh?
#SuchABoy
The karaoke floor is all yours. I suck at singing. Mulan still rocks, regardless if she's a princess or not!
Mod
*takes mic**belts out Disney tunes**feels so happy*
