Twyla Turner Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry Amaryllis! I haven't been on GR in a while, so I didn't see your question until now. I haven't gotten to Royal's story yet and now I'm going back and forth on whether I want to do hers or Mia's next. But I would love to be interviewed on your blog. Whenever you'd like. Again, sorry for the late reply.
Twyla Turner Royal's book is next. As of right now, Mia's book will be last because I want her sexcapades leading up to her story to be at the end of each of the first three books. At least that's what I'm shooting for.
Twyla Turner Hey, Caryn! I'm working on Royal's story now. I can't give a definite date of when it'll be ready for release. And usually, when I do and tell anyone, I end up jinxing myself and missing the deadline. Ha! Let's just say that I'm shooting for an early 2017 release. ;)
Twyla Turner I've read so many great lines that none stick out in my mind at the moment.
Twyla Turner Sorry for the late reply. I haven't had much luck on Valentine's Day so the best gift I've ever received was when I was in the 7th grade. My "boyfriend" at the time gave me a teddy bear that held a pillow that read 'I Love You'. And he gave me my first french kiss under his winter coat at the roller skating rink. You can't get much cuter than that! Ha!
Twyla Turner Aww thanks, Linda! I really appreciate that. :) And I will definitely try my best not to let anyone stop me from accomplishing my dream. But with the encouragement and kind words of readers like you...I doubt I will stop anytime soon. ;)
Twyla Turner I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner! Thank you, Linda. I really appreciate that and I'm glad that you enjoyed Lexi & Sloan's story! What do you mean by "Please don't get distracted?" :)
Twyla Turner Hi Princess!!! Sorry, I didn't see your question sooner. I think it's a little bit of both. Many times when an idea strikes, I quickly write down the characters' names and a brief description of where I want the story to go. But then after that I dive in. It's best if no one tries to talk to me or ask me to do anything. I barely want to brush my teeth, bathe or eat because it takes too much time. But I do anyway because I don't want to gross anyone out or die of starvation. Ha! Though, if I hit a roadblock, I'll take the time to write out an outline of exactly what I want to happen in the remaining chapters, and that'll usually help my writer's block.

Thanks for asking! Feel free to ask me anything. :)
Twyla Turner I stop and sleep on it. Sometimes I write ideas down in a notebook. Or sometimes I'll even skip ahead to a later part in the book that I know for sure how I want it to go and then that helps me connect the section I was stuck on to the rest.
Twyla Turner Immersing yourself in a world that you've created with your own creative mind.
Twyla Turner Don't over think it and don't worry about getting it out there...just start writing for yourself. And once you're done and you feel that others would enjoy it, then start researching how to self-publish and contacting literary agents. It's great that you can now get your work out there to the public and not waiting around to be discovered by a publishing house
Twyla Turner I'm trying to take a very short break before starting the next installment of the Damaged Souls novels.
Twyla Turner Just wanting to get my fantasies down on paper. And now that I have a few fans, they inspire me to write novels that will make a difference in the way they feel about themselves or a character they can relate to.
Twyla Turner I have no idea. I just built my story around a homeless man being more than what he seems. We pass by these desperate people everyday, but what if there was more to their story?
