Romance Writers Weekly ~ How Do You Write? ~ #LoveChatWrite

 This week, on the Romance Writers Weekly blog hop, we're asked, "Do you write chronologically from the start of the book to the end, or do you write scenes and then piece them together?"

And the answer to that is a resounding YES! lol Seriously though, it depends--on the book, on my mood, on what kind of time I have. 

I vastly prefer to work chronologically--from start to finish. But sometimes it doesn't work out that way. There are some scenes that demand to be written and nothing else will work until they're done. Some scenes are too hard to write in the moment, so it's better to put a pin in them, move on and come back to them later.

And then there are times when you think you are writing sequentially, but then you get to a scene that (once you've written it) you realize it's in the wrong place--or even the wrong book, if it's a series--and you need to take it out and add it in later.

But, all things considered, and whenever possible, working chronologically is the best, most comfortable way of writing a book...at least for me.

Now, hop on over to Jill Haymaker's page to find out how she likes to work. And don't forget to check out her book, Ride into Love.

Visions Before Midnight

Oberon Book 7.0

​

Chay Johnson is a traditional man; and the educator, flute maker, apprentice shaman has a lot of traditions to uphold, especially when it comes to choosing a life mate.

​

 Erin Allridge is a modern woman, with modern ideas about relationships and a painful personal history she has no intention of repeating.

 

 When terror and tragedy strike the small town of Oberon, the pair are forced to re-think their visions for the future.

 

 In this world of form and spirit it can be hard to find balance and harmony, but sometimes, particularly when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest, love can find a way to bridge the gap.

 

Hungry Heart

An Oberon Halloween Story   

​

Cara Matthews is trouble—with a capital T. That's one thing that pretty much everyone in Oberon can agree on—parents, teachers, other students, her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Seth Cavanaugh. 

​

Well, if you give a dog a bad name they'll probably live up to it, right?

​

This Halloween, after one insult too many, Cara's hellbent on wreaking revenge—no matter who gets hurt in the process.

 

***Please note: This is a companion book to Visions Before Midnight. While it can stand on its own (and does contain scenes and material that does not appear in Visions) this is essentially Cara's version of events, which may or may not be accurate. Do you trust her?***
