:)įor those of you who want to know about me-I must admit, that's a lot harder to write than creating a character. To me, it makes no difference if the walls are eggshell white or oyster white, or that the paint is textured in repeated scallop patterns. Is the character trapped? Then it might be a stark white room with no window to escape through. I want the details of the room that are pertinent in that moment. While I recognize the writing skill necessary to fill five pages with intricate details of an empty white room, I personally don't care to read that. I want the reader to FEEL as they read-to laugh out loud, to hold their breath in anticipation, to cry-not be bogged down with irrelevant details My goal is to provide enough detail to create a vivid image in the reader's mind without boring them. As a reader I want to get lost in a story, not be constantly slapped in the face with misspelled words, grammatical errors and plot contradictions.
Anything less is still a draft copy and should not be offered as a finished product. I strongly believe that a book should be well-edited and proofread prior to being released. Love scenes should be tastefully erotic and occur where they fit-after a buildup of attraction and sexual tension, not gratuitous random sex thrown in. I believe that a series should be a series of related stories, not one story chopped into multiple pieces to sell more books.
