The Small and Curious Storm

I brainstorm scenes. Always have.

Once I get my characters fleshed out in my head, I build small, curious scenarios in which the lads can show their true selves. Quiet, fleeting moments that are rarely caught in most romances.

Like I said, I’ve always done this, but I’ve never written these brainstorms down… that is, until yesterday. Let’s see if this helps or hinders a novel’s process, shall we? I’ll keep you updated.

Until tomorrow…

Always Count to Three

“Jack” is rather ho-hum. “Jill” is nothing but a yawn. But “Jack & Jill” are magic… admittedly, tragic magic but that’s a whole other post.

The pairing becomes a character, an entity all its own. It exists separate and apart from its halves. It becomes more than its pieces. So, in my opinion, a successful romance novel will always have 3 leads: Character A, Character B and Character AB.

Bottom line: The story’s not done until you can count to 3.

Until tomorrow…
