My book No Dream Like Forever is out in PAPERBACK now & I'm so excited abt it:
Both Blue Horizon + Cowboys and Djinn WIP focus A Great Deal on queer yearning. Blue Horizon has wild amounts of queer yearning, while Cowboys and Djinn WIP has a lot.
I craft all my WIPs (including others) around it bc I grew up w/ media where I thought the YEARNING part was rad. #QueerWritersChat
A4: I do! I think we all yearn for something, & touching on the many, many things we can yearn for helps us connect with our readers.

Oh yes. My 1st book, No Dream Like Forever, has lots of yearning, both physical & emotional.
In No Sky Like Midnight, there's less physical yearning (their 2nd meet is at a sex party, after all) but more emotional yearning.

In Blue Horizon—Antonio yearns for his parents' disgrace to not affect his family's lives. His life is shaped around "disgrace."
In Cowboys and Djinn WIP—Saber yearns to be freed of a scenario she's trapped in within the Realm of Djinn, Shahina to protect her kin, while Rehan...
A2: In No Sky Like Midnight, my FMC Paige yearns both for safety & for someone to see her fully. My MMC Leo yearns for a world where everyone is left alone to live as they wish, & for someone he can trust to be real.

If you want some yearning and mutual pining during an alien invasion you can get the ebook for Andi's Livestream: Apocalypse Edition shannonmassey.itch.io and the audiobook narrated by Tess Irondale is available via audible: www.amazon.com/Audible-Andi...
I do, but once I see the pattern I get quickly to the "KISS YOU IDIOTS!" Phase.
But admittedly, that's part of the appeal too. 😅

I yearn for readers if I’m honest.
I want to talk about my book with someone in depth. I want to see how things landed for them.
Would you be interested?
A3: My characters yearn for things all the time, and I think that's because I tend to write melancholy a lot.
In my epic fantasy, 🐲 Dinn has an entire chapter where he visits a schoolhouse and he wishes he had the same academic experience. 🥺

I think it can be fun to play with the various types of yearning in writing. It doesn't just have to be romantic.
"Hell Is Work" is a short-circuited romance. Virgil spends the whole book not being able to be with Lucifer.
In "Blow Me Down", Tack is in a 2 person love triangle with Quill and himself crossdressed.
He's terrified that the secret will push Quill away.
The only yearning in Balances is background noise: demisexual-coded protag Akieryon is in love with his aro time mage friend, but not too worried about it. He has other problems to solve.

A2: 🦌 Edwin says he yearns to save the forest, but what he actually yearns for is connection. To have people care about the same things he does. 🥺
#QueerWritersChat
Oh yeah, I have some sapphic and lesfic rom coms that are full of yearning and mutual pining. Andi and Adair from Andi's Livestream: Apocolypse Editon is full of yearning and it was so much fun to write loads of yearning in a non-traditional setting 🔥
