Update on The Trouble With Demons
Tomorrow, I'll continue my series on "Things I didn't know until I got published." Today, it's a quick update on how the edits are going on The Trouble With Demons. I say "quick" because thanks to the generosity of the advertising agency where I work, I don't have to be in the office until 10:30 (I'm usually there at 7:30). They let me use my vacation time in snippets when I'm under the gun to get a lot of writing done. Yes, this place is workplace Shangra-La. : )
I'm in the toughest part of the edits now. It's going great, but hot & steamy scenes ain't easy to write -- at least they ain't easy for me. Got a demon running amok in police headquarters? No problem. The words flow like water. Get a hot & steamy chapter just right? Jeez, brain cells die by the thousands. ; )
You guys are gonna love this book when it hits the shelves. And it's like you all are standing over my shoulder while I'm writing -- yes, my office is a triffle crowded. I know what you want; and I'm doing my best to deliver. ; ) Tomorrow I'll talk about advertising for your book, but for now, the clock's ticking and I've got to get back to the writing.
Coming up this week: I'll continue my series on "Things I didn't know until I got published " with advertising and book promo that you have to do for yourself, and more.

Wow; for some reason, steamy scenes flow like water for me. Whether its just a nice kiss or something more . . . involving, I have no trouble whatsoever.
That said, I only have one or two sex scenes in my novels, and they are very brief.
I finished my third novel!!!
We all know your not Nora Roberts now eh? I can't write them realistly
Yea, Tia!!! (on finishing your third novel). I'm so proud of you! : )
I don't normally have this much trouble with those kind of scenes, but there are other elements involved (the Saghred, for one) that complicates the heck out of things. In addition, getting the nuances of a developing relationship just right as well as the "hot & steamy" (and a soul-sucking rock) is really tough for me. I want it to be as realistic as possible.
Hi Kara! Nope, I'm definitely not "La Nora". ; )
Thanks! And yes, I imagine the Saghred could muddle things up quite a bit!
Theh pile of books I 'need' to read before starting yours is diminishing. Which means soon I'll be eager for the next book! :D Glad to hear the editing is happening....:)
haha, if i was actually standing behind you while you were doing your edits, you know i'd be going "go tam! go tam!" every time he showed up :-P
*perk* Steamy scenes?
*peeks over Lisa's shoulder*
Ohhh, is Mychael in them?
No, Tam.
No, Mychael.
No wonder Raine can't make up her mind.
LOL! Yep, Laurie, the chapter I finished last night is definitely steamy. ; )
