* Write From the Heart *

Callie Thomas is an indie author who loves all things fairy tales—including twisting tales of her own. Her favorite stories have a mix of sweet romance, laughter, and a pinch of magic. When she's not writing, she enjoys playing board games, reading at the beach, and traveling the world with her husband and two boys. Since she can't live at Disney World, you'll find her near the historical battlefields and lush woodlands where her family lives in Fredericksburg, VA. She recently published her first Vella series, A Forest of Stolen Memories & A Sea of Golden Chains, and has more stories on the horizon.

Most people would associate clean with boring--and that isn't the case at all. To me, I consider it a challenge. I write clean and yet still have to compete with other authors who don't. So, my story relies on having a solid foundation that will hook readers without all the physical stuff. Is there still romance? Absolutely, yes! There is still enough sizzle that will heat up the page and leave you wanting more. But I don't need to add the other stuff to make my story more enjoyable---it stands on its own. That means no cursing and only kisses, not just in this book, but in all my books.(less)

I also use description throughout, not just what they are seeing, but what they are feeling. Use all those 5 senses to help the reader paint the scene in their head. I hope that helps!(less)

Write, write, write. The more you do it, the easier it will be for your mind to flip on the creative switch when you need to work. Rough drafts are supposed to be messy! It's okay to make mistakes and have errors. Pick a subject that makes you excite See Full Answer
