I take in a lot of stuff from real life, movies, television, news and it all gets mixed in my head and somehow turns into a story idea.
We don't usually write up accidents involving rabbits. - Joe Morelli
I'm so busy writing and editing two books a year that I don't have time for painting anymore.
Since I write in first person and have no idea what goes on in men's heads.
I write to entertain. When people read one of my books I want them to finish with a smile on their faces, feeling a little bit better about themselves and the people in their lives.
Lots of times I'm not crazy about the writing, but I keep moving ahead and somehow it gets better. The important thing is to move forward.
When you get ready to write your novel, outline it first. There's nothing worse than getting halfway through and realizing you've painted yourself in a plot corner.
Since I can barely write two books a year the best solution seems to be co-author projects. My goal isn't to get another writer to clone me... it's more to produce a book that shares my vision of positive, fun entertainment.
By about the sixth romance I knew I wasn't in exactly the right place. I liked writing action. And I wanted to write a book with a little more edge than I was allowed in romance.
Somewhere along the line, I realized that I liked telling stories, and I decided that I would try writing. Ten years later, I finally got a book published. It was hard. I had no skills. I knew nothing about the business of getting published. So I had to keep working at it.
Respect and love your readers. Write for the reader.
When I was painting, I was painting stories I was telling myself. When I look back at it, moving to writing was a very natural progression for me.
