FROM SPARK TO STORY: Using Editorial Eyes to Draft, Revise, and Turn Your Book Idea Into a Full-Blown Novel

Dialogue tags are misused ALL the time. It’s okay. You probably didn’t learn all of these in school, and if you did, what are the chances of your brain holding onto this amongst giant-sized Cokes and emotional-support dogs? Buckle up, because we’re about to give you the brief

Quotes by Jolene Perry  (?)

“He’s the need and the sparks and the laughter, and he touches my heart in a way it’s never been touched before. It’s terrifying and so honest it makes me dizzy.”
Jolene Perry, Dizzy

“Because brothers don’t let each other wander in the dark alone”
Jolene Perry, My Heart for Yours

“As much as I should keep my heart in my chest, part of it runs away with him. And maybe that means part of his might be here with me.”
Jolene Perry, Dizzy

“A laugh jumps out of my mouth, surprising me. I can’t even remember the last time I laughed and it puts me on edge. I suddenly want to do the same thing to her. Let her see how it feels to teeter on that cliff.”
Nyrae Dawn, Charade

“Everything’s not always black and white, Princess. Sometimes we have to do shit because there’s not another choice. Maybe you should think about that before you snub your nose at me.”
Nyrae Dawn, Charade

“But when he smiles? Really smiles, it’s perfect. Like toothpaste commercial, boy-next-door beauty that makes it really hard to be pissed at him.”
Nyrae Dawn, Charade

“There’s no talking. No laughing. Nothing but eager hands and sad eyes.”
Nyrae Dawn, Charade

“Colt lies on my bed and pulls me down behind him. I expect him to go for my clothes, but instead he kisses me again.
“Blanket.” I mutter, between kisses.
“If you’re cold I’m doing something wrong.”
Nyrae Dawn, Charade

Stephanie I just wanted to say thank you so much for sending me the extra book because the original was a little late getting to me. It was absolutely unnecessary but I greatly appreciate it. I can not wait to read it. Spill over sounds just as good Manipulation.

Thanks for the add also!


Christina Lyn Thanks for adding me Joleen!

L Dear Jolene,
I would like to thank you for being my friend here on GoodReads, which is an honor and a delight. It is such a brilliant site where one is able to converse with so many likeminded people including authors and readers, writers and book bloggers. I look forward to future book discussions with you.
Kind Regards

Fred I just love you Jolene, and your lovely books, so rich and dark and deep and real. I honestly thought we were friends already, but I know you have a complex and systematic approach to Goodreads for your various personae, and am just happy to be part of it! xoxo
Fred
