Why do I write?
I have an idea that pops into my head. I've discovered I enjoy storytelling, creating characters, and spinning action around them. Yes, at times my characters take off with my story ideas and make it their own. That's an unexpected happening.
How do I write?
I'm what's known as a pantser. That means I write by the seat of my pants. I don't plan out a detailed outline of my story. I have an idea, start writing, and stuff happens. I do have a thought of where I'd like the story to go, but how it gets there is often a pleasant surprise.
What do I write?
My books are contemporary romances, steamy romances, to include a couple of romantic suspense stories. I enjoy creating the mandatory Meet Cute for my main female character and main male character, i.e., that's how they meet. I've had a variety of situations, such as a blizzard, an errant golf ball, the award of a contract, doing good deeds, and drinking bourbon in a neighborhood bar.
The genres of my short stories are varied, and only one contains sweet romance. I have a golf ball horror story, crusty grandpas, a guacamole failure, and family support stories. They're fun to write, but I've only done them for challenges. Perhaps I should write one on purpose just because I can.
Short and sweet, the way I like it!
