I wish I could say I’m one of those super-organized authors with color-coded outlines, but I’m more of a chaotic creative with a plan. I usually have the big emotional beats, the tropes, and a few scenes I’m dying to write. And apparently, my brain doesn’t believe in “off” hours, because even when I sleep, I stay in author mode. I constantly dream up scenes or entire story ideas. And right before I fall asleep? My mind suddenly decides it’s storytelling time. I’ve learned the hard way that if I don’t write it down immediately, it’s gone within three minutes. So yes… my notes app is chaos.(less)

The editing phase

So then, after a year of pantsing, plotting, writing and re-reading for many hours, I finally finished my third novel. It feels strange typing the 'The End' sentence and then letting go.
At the moment my third baby is growing up and moving into the editing phase; a challenging but exciting new chapter in the process of writing a novel.
I'll let you know how this is going...

As a contemporary romance author, my books don’t require the same level of world building as, for example, fantasy or science fiction novels. That said, setting is still important to me. I pay close attention to small, purposeful details that give re See Full Answer
