Writing Foundations Important To My Process

What is your process for writing? Plot, then write? Edit as you go or not until you've reached the end of the story? Figure out your characters first? Something else?

Questions like this week’s #openbook blog hop prompt usually excite me. Asking a writer about their process gives them a chance to relfect on how they get a story from idea to book, allowing them to analyze the different steps they may take to hone their plots and chracters into a narrative they want to share with readers.

I’ve published 8 novels and novellas and contributed to multiple-author anthologies, including short stories and novels. It’s been my experience that each story requires a unique writing process, wherein I use specific tools (I’ll write a post with the software I use another time) and methods to organize my thoughts about inspiration, plot, characters and editing.

Holding Back Can Feel So Good – A Peek At The Ex-Wife

#muslimromance #contemporaryromance #firefighter #ramadannights #ramadan

Hey, romance addicts! I have a great excerpt from my new release, The Ex-Wife.

Generally, Muslims avoid casual contact with members of the opposite sex, saving a few exceptions such as family members. Things can get tense if you fall for someone and want nothing more than to be casual, but that isn’t always bad.

I find those moments of restraint between a couple, where they have to fight their desire for each other, the most exciting. That’s when romance really comes to life.  

The more time Zaynab and Xander spend at their friends’ house at opposite ends of a long table during Ramadan, the more they desire one another. In the scene below, Xander can’t stop watching her and contemplates taking things to the next stage, if she’s interested. Is she?
