For anyone who has checked out the Beta Reader link for Limerence, it will be (or try to be) updated every week! So far there are three chapters and a draft to comment. For anyone who wants it I will put down the synopsis and link to the chapters below.

(Thank you for reading!)

Synopsis:

Limerence: the state of being infatuated or obsessed with another person, typically experienced involuntarily and characterized by a strong desire for reciprocation of one's feelings.

Christian,

a recovering schizophrenic adapting back into her home-life after coming back from the psychiatric hospital, meets a very obscure type character, Ellie, labeled a felon by her peers. The two of them grow closer and eventually Christian comes to meet Ellie’s friend Riley, who seems to have a secret to hide behind his picture-perfect life. As she begins to uncover his secrets, she realizes Ellie has secrets of her own. When she finds out who Ellie really is, she does everything in her power to keep their gruesome secrets safe. In the end, is Christian better or worse than her enemies?

Happy New Year!!

I know I haven’t been active on here but I will say I have a lot planned this year and will possibly be sharing more about my book.

(Which I’m sorry I’ve been leaving you out on)

Anyways I hope this year is better than the last

[oliviaquinn-official]

Here to share my Spotify wrapped…

This is the first year Panic hasn’t been my top artist

But I’ll just say it’s rigged anyway to make myself feel better

And also wasn’t expecting Taylor swift??? I probably should’ve but idk

Anyway, enjoy my digital footprint

[oliviaquinn-official]

So uh, been awhile

Editing the layout of book is troubling, since I work so much now

But I’m almost done, and I hope to god it’ll be published next year (or at least finished)

I’m finishing up the plot holes and trying to make this actually readable

But my life is exhausting

I’m exhausted

[oliviaquinn-official]

Editing has been melting my brain

It’s like putting together an 2,000 piece puzzle

All the pieces fit but they don’t exactly go together

And they’re all one solid color

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

This book was beautifully written and I appreciated the writing style. But there was so many problems with this book.

1. The characters were so incredibly insufferable.

The book is supposed to be about friendships and the ups and downs of them but all that came from this book was how much they hated and tolerated one another.

To call this book a love story you’ve never read before is correct. Because best friends don’t usually start romantic relationships with one another and still call each other friends. (Not even talking about friends with benefits here it wasn’t even that situation).

Marx is probably the most tolerable character in this book (and even that’s pushing it)

Any time a character gets any growth it’s immediately watered down and ultimately makes you feel nothing for them.

2. The writing style

The writing style is great! It’s intelligent and thought provoking and is the only reason why I finished reading this wet cardboard quality of a book.

But I have also never seen “said” so many times in a book. It makes me think the author has never broadened her vocabulary during the writing and editing of this book.

3. Plot

Where is the plot? Is it even in the room with us?

The plot has been lost people. It is no where to be found.

Even though it explores some complex themes there still isn’t an interesting story behind it. You could say it’s a character analysis if the characters even experience a significant amount of growth to begin with.

The book is just a day to day of the characters

Which would be fine but their lives are not that interesting and the plot itself just gets very repetitive, even in the end.

4. Is friendship even in the room with us?

To say this book is even about friendships is concerning.

The book is a friends to lovers (including a love triangle) that is wrapped in unnecessary personal tragedies.

In the end it took me way too long to read this book and that is time I will never get back.

GIBBY 😭😭😭

[oliviaquinn-official]

You ever just feel something plaguing your brain but you can’t do anything about it? Like I feel like I need a grippy sock vacation

You know that would make me understand my characters better

I should book a vacation

[oliviaquinn-official]

I will always change the color of my aesthetic to what I’m working on or working on next

Not that anyone will notice or care

But no one can stop me

[oliviaquinn-official]

Before you edit or plan your book please do some research

Look into other people strategies for their writing

For some reason I dove into the deep end and just read and fixed what I did and didn’t like (don’t do that) and it overwhelmed me (obviously)

If you want my advice I’ll tell you do summarize your chapters one by one. And if it doesn’t flow then change what you need to

Editing is hard and stressful, so just keep your head up

[oliviaquinn-official]

I’m over the ecstasy of completing the first draft.

The realization of how many books I have to write has overwhelmed me but hopefully I can find the time to write like I’m running out of time

I somehow can’t stop screaming and looking calm on the outside

[oliviaquinn-official]

Very scrumptious birthday present my partner made for me

I’m very lucky to be editing this with them 🩷

[oliviaquinn-official]

“I HATE REWRITES!!!!” I scream into the void. Writing at 3am once again.

[oliviaquinn-official]

How would you guys feel about me posting the first few edited chapters of my book when they’re done?

I need you to know that what you read is the first draft 😭 I’m more than 3am thoughts!! I’m capable of more I swearrrrrr
