Writing Life
June 17, 2008 | Uncategorized
So far today, I’ve resurrected one character from the dead and killed off another.
I Thought about updating the word meter because, I’ve added a few paragraphs here and there and improved lots of the others. But then, I decided to print it out and have a read through before I do any more improving. There’s lots of revision still to go on the present set of words and no point in polishing what may be cut.
All of this makes me aware of my own writing process. Polishing as I write is second nature. This polishing is not to be confused with the final polishing that makes it ready for an editor’s eyes. Rather a more a nudging closer to the story vision that exists in my head. All the while the tale remains very much a first draft.
After the original shaping of the story concept into a plots that holds together, which goes very slow–a week or two. Then the words pour fourth, until the last act when new insights lead to revising amid the flow–a decision that slows the writing back to creeping. All told, Sam’s story is going to keep me busy all summer.
Then, I’m thinking back to the pirates.
When both Hunter and Tru bond with Amber their mating triangle threatens everything they hold dear.
Determined to help rescue the princess, Cassandra agrees to act as the dragons’ sex slave, but can she guard her heart from the dominant males?

Werewolf-whisper Daniel is the only one who can heal Scarlet’s broken werewolf connection. If he succeeds then the pack’s needs will eclipse his claim on her heart. But if he fails, they'll both die.
A lonely woman finds passion with a dominant much younger lover, when she tries to leave she learns her new master plays for keeps.
One dangerous warrior woman plus two rogue demon males equals a love to threaten an empire.
Getting paid to watch Eduardo is Desiree’s dream assignment, but when he reaches out to her, crossing the line, everything changes.
Deep in her secret heart, she lusts for a sexy pirate who’d be her master and commander in the bedroom. But, this man may be too dangerous
She finds paradise in the arms of twin brothers, but their law demands she chose one warrior to mate and one to die.
One woman, two men, three wounded hearts--though already mated their love is still forbidden.
