Lately I have been doing some role playing on line to pass the time in between waiting on new books. I saw your blog and though why the hell not read it. I have trouble not putting in more detail in my story lines to "catch" the reader.I am hoping by reading your blogs they will help me to better write my story line. Thanks and keep up the good writing. And looking forward to your next Night Creature book.TanyaC4059https://www.blogger.com/profile/17050565481204724295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190272161363326208.post-16483600425008982372012-07-07T11:29:40.152-04:002012-07-07T11:29:40.152-04:00Thanks so much!Thanks so much!Rebecca Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00868406006575223127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190272161363326208.post-5010176892674989612012-07-07T11:25:37.156-04:002012-07-07T11:25:37.156-04:00Great blog on romance writing and the feeling a ro...Great blog on romance writing and the feeling a romance should leave you with.

I try to continue my writing education through reading (mystery and romance, with some general fiction occasionally) and taking classes, as well as writing books. Since I'll miss the Nat'l conference this year, this comes at a great time. Always wise to learn from the best. :)Megan Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06548791853823629555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190272161363326208.post-32525158646179924832012-07-02T11:36:29.638-04:002012-07-02T11:36:29.638-04:00JD Favor--I know what you mean.

And I've made myself an outline of the topics I want to cover. The project started w/ an article I did for THE WRITER on Romance Writing 101. I got a lot of good response to it and thought--I can expand on each of the points I made, and more. So I'm not doing it by the seat of my pants. As I said earlier, the hard part is breaking it up into small enough chunks.Rebecca Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00868406006575223127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190272161363326208.post-11816107987757777732012-07-02T11:08:18.946-04:002012-07-02T11:08:18.946-04:00Congratulations on your first blog post.

My favorite genre is romantic suspense and I read contemporary and paranormal. I'm sharing a glog (group blog) with two other authors and it's not that easy to come up with one post a week, let alone two. I will be checking back often to read your posts.

I love seeing the characters when the book opens and watching them develop into the people they were meant to be with the help of their hero/heroine. The heat and the HEA are real attractions too. <br /><br />As for reading and writing, I have the same problem--too much writing, not enough reading. But still, I read almost exclusively romance.Robin Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16262933225938609682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190272161363326208.post-68915716409116419462012-07-02T10:48:30.761-04:002012-07-02T10:48:30.761-04:00Love romance.

I suppose, that's why I'm writing romance, too :-) For some reason, maybe because I'm wired as a woman, I find these stories deeply satisfying.Dana Martonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946069211920587334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2190272161363326208.post-41716318365264962282012-07-02T10:45:30.434-04:002012-07-02T10:45:30.434-04:00Loni, thanks.

Your stories are what we as romantics dream of when we think of heroes and their heroines. <br /><br />When I write, I look to the 'what if...' equation and let my characters take over from there. <br /><br />I'm looking forward to hearing more from you in lessons to come.

I was completely taken in by the mini-scene you wrote. You are such an icon for me. I write in the romantic suspense genre, but my books are more romantic mysteries, without the driving hard edginess of the genre. I don't know how you have time to sleep with all you've accomplished. Perhaps your hands are typing as you sleep...

I tend to lean more towards suspense with romance and romantic suspense too. A really good blend of the two is what I love to read when I take the time. I read at doctor's appointments, and other places. I've even taken a book with me if I go to McDonald's alone to eat lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
