I've always loved Calamity Jane (who doesn't?), but I like Pillow Talk and Move Over Darling too, even though they have their silly bits. Please Don't Eat The Daisies is also a favourite, because the husband and wife relationship really works for me in that one.(less)

I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?

You're right - it's a competitive industry to be in, but just because it's tough, it doesn't mean you can't break though. I thought I might be seriously nuts thinking I could write a book that someone else would want to publish, but I went ahead and wrote one anyway, and I'm usually not a bit risk taker.

I always say that being a writer is a bit like being on a rollercoaster: there are ups and downs - and I've had plenty of both in my 12 years of being published: times when I was sure my career had just been flushed down the toilet and times when I felt I was on top of the world. I just have to believe that, even when I'm in one of the 'down' patches, that if I just keep going, eventually I will start to go 'up' again, and things oftenhave a funny way of working out. The only way I'm not going to get there is if I give up and get off the train. The only answer I can really give you is that you need to believe in yourself, ignore the statistics and dream big.

Quotes by Fiona Harper (?)

“What I’m saying is that you can’t run from it for ever, pretending you’ll always have another chance. Life doesn’t always work that way. Sometimes you’ve got to be brave and grab it while it’s there in front of you.”
― Fiona Harper, Make My Wish Come True

“He’d told himself that he was brave because he liked climbing high walls and tramped through rain forests and knew how to deal with leeches and ticks, but this was where it counted. Here. In this drab city hospital. This was where he would prove he was a man or not.”
― Fiona Harper, The Guy to Be Seen With

Our Mission Statement : Just what is WRR 2013? That’s quite simple to answer. It stands for ‘Writers, Romance, & Rainbows – A GBLT book fair for tho Our Mission Statement : Just what is WRR 2013? That’s quite simple to answer. It stands for ‘Writers, Romance, & Rainbows – A GBLT book fair for those in the GBLT Romance genre’. The explanation for that, however, is a bit more extensive. With all the different cons and such happening through the year, only a few were geared toward those in the GBLT romance genre. Not surprising since this genre is still up and coming. It has made great strides, but sadly, still not as popular as the het romances as far as being mainstream goes. It hasn’t stopped us though. The books are still getting out there and the authors are still writing them. Unfortunately, these cons can only allow so many authors to attend. Then there is the price of registration. Flights, hotels, and other miscellany are added as well. All totaled up, attending one of these events can set an author back thousands. And for a newbie or even a mid-author, sometimes that price is just too much to pay. Especially if you’re relegated to a lesser role than what you expected. And what of the other’s that are involved in the writing process? The pubs, editors, cover artists, photographers, reviewers, readers, and fans? What about them? Don’t they have a right to be a part of these events as well? So far, these events are for the pubs, authors, fans, and readers. But what if there was an event that could encompass everyone involved in the writing process? That could bring all these people under one roof to talk, meet, promo, and sell their work? That question had plagued Deborah and I for many months. Both of us had attended events, but none were geared for everyone. Then the wonderful guys at Bent-con invited us to share our media with their media in a conflagration of GBLT fireworks. Both of us jumped at the chance. What better place to have everyone involved in the writing process sharing knowledge, disparate experience, and their wares to those who will appreciate it. It was a win/win for everyone. ...more
