I was a late writing bloomer--I didn't start until I was thirty-five when my youngest child had just entered Kindergarten.

Hello! I have recently done a complete reread of all of your Maiden Lane books (wonderful!) and I have a question you may have answered this before, but I have not seen it. Where do you get the inspiration for the stories that start each chapter? Are they written by you or do you find them?

Elizabeth Hoyt:
And yes, another question, but what books [historical, critical, whatever] can you recommend for research on writing historical romance novels, especially those set on the Georgian/Regency/Victorian era? [It's a dream of mine to make a romance novel set on one of these eras, and I've outlines concerning this, but most research books I have about romance novels are contemporary]. Thanks a lot for answering this.

Elizabeth Hoyt:
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?
