Writing Session 1: Lemon CreamAuthor/Genre: TM/erotic romanceWords written: 352 Total words: 14,298Time Spent: 15 minutes (break) Notes: *Sigh.* Fine. Be that way, Susan. Dang it. I get it, but at least hear the guy out, okay? I mean seriously. Don’t break your author’s heart. That’s just mean. No other writing today, I’m afraid. Busy afternoon […]

Writing Session 1: Lemon CreamAuthor/Genre: TM/erotic romanceWords written: 550 Total words: 13,946Time Spent: 30 minutes (after work) Notes: Super-busy day today, so no breaks, dang it. And it took me awhile to get into this scene because I didn’t really want to write it. Why? Because the decisions made here will determine a lot going […]
Writing Session 1: Jasmine BetrayalAuthor/Genre: JD/romantic suspenseWords written: 136Total words: 1093Time Spent: 15 minutes (break) Notes: Slow start today…I don’t often know so much about the background beforehand (this time it sort of just all came to mind in a huge plot chunk right away, which is odd), so I wrote out a lot […]
Writing Session 1: Cutting BackAuthor/Genre: AW/horrorWords written: 265 Total words: 13,479Time Spent: 15 minutes (break) Notes: I’m calling that good for this installment. Melanie’s got a head full of weirdness right now, and it’s kind of freaky, to be honest. It’s good though, because her character is evolving, and I have no idea how it’s […]

Melanie’s got an odd crisis on her hands…a mental disconnect that’s forcing her to reevaluate things like friendship while she deals with […]
Writing Session 1: Lemon CreamAuthor/Genre: TM/erotic romanceWords written: 855 Total words: 13,396Time Spent: 15 minutes (break) Notes: After a no-writing day yesterday (the day job was super busy, and after work I was just mentally fried, so I read a book instead) today’s been much more productive already. The rest of this scene just came […]
Writing Session 1: THDAuthor/Genre: JD/romantic suspenseWords written: n/a Total words: n/aTime Spent: 15 minutes (break) Notes: With revisions done, I decided to just do a quick spelling/formatting check and get this sent off to my editor, finally. Was going to do it last night, but got distracted by domestic stuff. Feels good to have it […]
Writing Session 1: Jasmine BetrayalAuthor/Genre: JD/romantic suspenseWords written: 182 Total words: 182Time Spent: 15 minutes (break) Notes: Ooo…this is going to be good. And freaky. It always takes longer to write the beginning of a story, because I have to get to know the characters, and explore the world they’re in. Well worth it though. […]
Writing Session 1: Mr. Mysterious Author/Genre: JD/romantic suspense Words written: 216 Total words: 10,347 Time Spent: 15 minutes (break) Notes: Not all that many words, but considering I have to re-read all three of the last holiday installments before I start writing these, not bad. And man, does it feel good to work on […]
