Happy Valentine’s Day, Sweetie!
I am delighted to report that I am a recipient of the Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award. I’d like to thank Marilyn Wigglesworth for this award (*throwing kisses*). I am now supposed to share seven (7) random facts about myself. So, here are some random facts about my writing life.
1. I’m a reformed pantser. I used to write “organically,” but then I found much of my work wound up in the composter, so to speak.
2. I took course with Karen Docter on the “W” Plot and Alexandra Sokoloff on Screenwriting Tips for Authors and saw the light. I now think about my characters’ motivation and goals and plot before I begin to pour my thoughts into my computer.
3. I get ideas for writing from dreams, news reports, and life experiences. Then I wonder, “What if…”
4. I love the Readability utility in Word. Passive voice is my nemesis.
5. Coffee. Nothing more needs to be said.
6. If I don’t time myself, I fritter too much time away on Twitter and Facebook. Morning and evening check-ins and I’m done. Okay, well this is really more of a 2012 goal than a reality, but I’m working on it.
7. DESIRE AND DECEPTION was nominated for an RT Best Erotic Fiction Book of 2011 Award. Yeah, not random, but I HAD to share and pinch myself again!
To celebrate the RT nomination and Valentine’s Day and my Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award, I’m giving away a free e-copy of DESIRE AND DECEPTION to one lucky commenter. To read more and to enter to win go to http://bit.ly/AgSDin
