Dear reader,
I have a confession to make: I just spent two whole weeks working on one scene in my book. Even for me, that’s extreme. And not just any scene—the first love scene. As some of you may know, this is my first book with “open door” scenes. That being the case, I really wanted to get it right. It has taken a while, but I’m pretty sure I’ve pulled it off!
A little sneak peek:
And another one:
How does one talk to their family about their books when they have steamy scenes, though? 🤔 With the holidays coming up, I just know I’m going to get a lot of questions. This is something I find really awkward.
Speaking of the holidays, on my Christmas list this year is a stack of writing craft books. Not ebooks. Physical books that I can highlight and take notes in. Please, Santa!
Lately, I've been trying my hand at beta reading other authors' work. What an eye-opening experience! Starting up as a freelance editor is something I’ve been thinking about for a while, and it might just be on the cards for 2024.
