Tina Christopher asked me to be on this blog hop with her. Of course I said yes! Next week look for Serena Shay's post on her writing topic
So, my writing process. Here goes.
1) What am I working on?
Right
now I'm finishing up edits for my release with HarlequinE coming this
Sept or Oct. It's an erotic romance, menage. Set in a tropical climate.
Not only the weather is hot, so are the guys!
2) How does my work differ from others of its genre?
I
have no idea. We are all different. But to actually say how is
something I couldn't put my finger on. If anything though, my editor
says "your writing is on fire" :) meaning the sex scenes. *blushes*
3) Why do I write what I do?
It
was by fluke really. My first book was No Fantasy Required. I wrote it
without the intention of it being so hot. But, when it was accepted and
after edits, I started my second story, Being Ariana. It was also a hot
story and then it just seemed to flow organically and the rest is
history. Although a story I will be working on after the edits on She
Wants It won't be erotic. It will be hot though (can't seem to get away
from that :) )
My January 2014 release Four For the Show. An erotic adventure where our heroine is treated to sexual delights by three men and we have some male/male action going on too.
4) How does your writing process work?
Again,
it's one of those things that never seems to be the same. When I have
an idea for a story, and I do have lots, I'll send myself an email with
the title or scene or whatever it was the popped into my brain.
Sometimes I can't let it go and have to write a few thousand words to
get it out of me.
I try to write every day. Last year wasn't
that great though after my mom died and my writing just didn't seem to
be there. I'm getting back into the swing of things and hoping to get a
lot done this year.
If I focus, I can write 1000 words on my
lunch. When I get home, I like to write from 2 - 6 for another 2000
words. Then I've accomplished 3000 words a day plus word full time. If I
accomplish this then I feel a little better and less guilty for doing
other things in the evening.
I am a procrastinator. It's
really hard to shake too. Like I'm doing this blog at 4pm on Sunday when
I should have had it wrapped up days ago!
So remember to visit Serena next week when she tells you about her writing process on 17th March.
Serena
Shay took to writing out her fantasies in a desperate bid to bring the
voices in her head to life and as a way to indulge her
paranormal desires.
