lol Fabio has shown his face now ;)
He's a strange mixture of disillusioned, resentful, and still somehow a little hopeful.

I discovered I do get writers block back in December. My wife watched several children's holiday movies while I was writing Bounty. And of course she chose to watch them as I was writing sex scenes. Fortunately, all I had to do was leave the room or wait until the movie was over.

Get over it and grow a pair :D

I run first thing, then chores, then I get to write. I don't have a routine about writing, although I do usually turn on music when I want to get good word counts, because TV distracts me.

wow, I'm late answering, lol. Hmmm, I'm probably most like Kellen in personality. I'm very opinionated and can be a jerk. Oh, and I have a dirty mouth, lol.

After some minor delays, and now a segment of my work schedule being freed up, my original plans will change. At this point, I anticipate a new release ever 6-8 weeks after the release of Bounty, as long as everything goes along the way it's supposed to ;)

As an editor, I was, naturally, familiar with the writing process, and I wrote a lot of short stories over the years, but never considered publishing any of my writing. Earlier this year, while collaborating with a friend, he suggested I should write on my own as well. Turns out, I'm glad I took his advice ;)

I'm co-authoring Dom Wars Round Six, the final installment of the Dom Wars story, with author Lucian Bane. I'm also working on my debut solo work, an Erotic Western, Big Game: A Hunted Love Novella, releasing September 2014. In addition, I'm planning a new solo project, a series of erotic BDSM sci-fi/military novels set in the near future, with the first release projected in early 2015. Lucian and I are also working on our next collaborative project, the White Knight Acamdemy series, the continuation of Lucian and Tara's story.

Write, and rewrite. Read everything, good and bad, and dissect it all to see what's working and what's not. Read heavily in your genre, but read as many genres as you possibly can. You might find that one element that makes your work entirely original for your genre. Write every single day, even if it's five minutes, and add words. Set attainable goals and increase them as your ability increases, and finish projects. Learn the rules of grammar, punctuation and good writing mechanics. Don't use poor grammar and call it 'style', it simply makes it harder for the reader to read. Stretch your vocabularly but use words in the correct form and the right context. Don't be afraid to cut huge passages from your work. The words aren't gold-plated and didn't cost you anything, and there are more where those came from, and making your work better is never a waste of time or work. Above all, write, rewrite, write some more.
