Sharing a video on the importance (or impotence) of proofreading from Taylor Mali. Maybe it’s just the writer in me, but I found this worth a good laugh. Enjoy!

Guest Blog: What I Learned Writing Two Erotic Romances
I’m the guest at Tara Lain’s blog, sharing what I’ve learned from writing my two erotic romances, MORE and BREATHE. I’m also asking if you can tell when an author has passion (or not) for their story? Stop by and leave a comment. I’d love to hear what you think.

Video I Love: Life’s a Roller Coaster
Still love this movie! This scene reminds me of what it’s like to write, edit, release, and promote a book. There are many ups and downs to putting your ideas into a story — and such a rush at times.

Hope you all have a great week!

Quote I Love: Have Something to Say
Lately I find myself ruminating more and more on reader expectations, what makes a good story, and where I want my writing to go in the future. I believe it’s important for authors to write stories they think readers of their genre will want to read, as well as writing with a passion for the story they want to tell. Hopefully those two outcomes will cross paths more often than not. I guess that’s the ideal most authors strive for.
Today I thought I’d share one of my favorite quotes about storytelling:
“Having something to say, or something you wish us to experience, is what gives your novel its power. Identify it. Make it loud. Do not be afraid of what’s burning in your heart. When it comes through on the page, you will be a true storyteller.”
