Oooh. I don't need any free books (I've won plenty!), but heroes, please! I ask everyone about them b/c they are incredibly hard for me to write. How do you make them vulnerable but keep them heroic and masculine? How do you get inside the male head? Apologies if it's a repeat for you. I could always stand to learn more about this!
With the New Voices comp looming *eeek* perhaps something about the First Chapter - what makes it great, creating a hook, introducing your characters (to each other and to the reader), opening first lines etc.
I posted something over on the eharlequin site--it is about process. What is yours and do you use the same process for both your Romances and for your Presents/Modern Heats?

Noted, Jill.
ReplyDeleteI'll add that to my list.
Well, I still look at them even though I'm not a writer or aspiring writer, but if I can suggest - don't get rid of the weekend Book Club! :)
ReplyDeleteLois, who knows it's off the subject, but still, doesn't want it to disappear. . . ;)

ReplyDeleteThanks
Lois, you can breathe easy, the WBC is not disappearing :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Joni.
ReplyDeleteAnother writer asked for something similar on FB so I'll schedule that post for sure.
Great question, Nancy, thanks.
