    I couldn't agree more. Jacinda found a niche that was lacking and she filled it.

    Whew! So, I finally finished book one of Thicker than Blood, writing about 5k words today. I'm getting ready to send it off to the editor. I plan on starting book two tomorrow. Hmm... I might even start it tonight. Might as well keep writing while the story is flowing out nicely. :)

    The hot... male, librarian? lol, now there's a twist. :) I can't imagine writing without having a general idea of where I wanted the story to go. I like to write an outline and then let the characters decide how they get there. The events in the outline give me something to look forward to...

    Holy crap! Good job! You totally blew my writing efforts out of the water! If you don't mind my asking, what is your story about? I managed to write a synopsis of the first book for Thicker than Blood: Thick and Curvy nurse, Kenna Miller, had an average life and average job... until the...

    wooo hoo! Just had my first beta reader give me input on "Thicker than Blood": "I found no problems at all with the flow of the story. I cracked up when the nurses were talking about the hand size. I could just see them gathered around the nurses station gossiping like that! You've got me...

    I totally understand! I tend to do this with most FMC I write about... they are me, but as a few things are different in their lives, the might react differently than I would. (Total nurture over nature here, but it helps). Of course! I think it's always fun to just write and see how things...

    Alphas... no... I mean I think I have a good mix of strong men and strong women. If I write the same characters, or same type, it gets to be monotonous, you know? :)

    Thank you, and yes, I am doing my best to get my stories out there. :) As far as Fifty Shades go... I really didn't like it. To be honest, I had a hard time not just tossing it out. Characters lacked depth and the writing was mediocre, imho. I think the reason this book is so popular is...

    I hope everyone had a productive day! I managed to locate an editor for my rom-rotica and a couple of beta readers. In trying to finish up "Thicker than Blood", one of my characters made me stray from my outline. It made me wonder if other writers have that happen to them? You go along...

    Thanks Lauryn! (Love the spelling of your name, btw) I'm curious as to your thought process of "and things really did turn out exactly NOT as planned... then what?" That makes for an interesting twist to writing... or how did you meld that to your book? I've set a few goals for today...

    Aubrey - Thank you for the kudos on the covers and the advice! What you are saying does make sense, and I appreciate it. The stories I am writing are romance/erotica. Curvy Girl is the story of the woman that had the husband who cheated on her, they divorced and she meets a hot, younger guy...
