Harder and Harder

Written by Nina on July 18, 2012 - 4 Comments
Categories: Editing, Humor, Ramblings, Writing

Okay, for those of you tripping on this hoping the erotic romance writer is talking about some sexually fun topic … forget about it. Just get your minds out of the gutter. I’m just rambling today about writing. Because what I’m discovering about this writing gig is the longer I’m doing it, the harder it’s [...]

Sometimes It’s A Man’s World

Written by Nina on July 16, 2012 - 14 Comments
Categories: Curiosity, Life Observations, Men, Point of View, Writing

When I was in high school I was very active in drama. (I know … such a surprise right? LOL!) When I was on stage I got to become anyone. A fat Russian spy. A traveling dancer entertaining a MASH unit. A woman married to a murderer. I loved it! Being an author is a [...]

What Words She Used … What His Body Said

Written by Nina on June 27, 2012 - 14 Comments
Categories: eye candy, Writing

As a writer all I have is my words. Words to bring the reader into the setting. Words to convey danger or passion. Words to make the reader fall in love with the characters even as they fall in love with each other. It’s not like a movie where a well orchestrated soundtrack strokes the [...]

And Success Is ….

Written by Nina on June 7, 2012 - 15 Comments
Categories: Writing

I’ve been bouncing around the internet checking on writer blogs, publishing blogs and just general frivolity blogs. I’ve been reading posts on everything from the digital age writer to writer integrity to the pressures writers are feeling in this new age of publishing. *sigh* It’s so much to take in. There is just so much [...]

Description in a Word

Written by Nina on June 6, 2012 - 6 Comments
Categories: Editing, Invitation to Ecstasy, Writing

One of the things I love about being an author is the power I have to construct a setting, create a hero or twist a plot. And just a choice word here or there can make things dark and dangerous or sexy and passionate. Let me use a scene from my erotic romance, Invitation to [...]

Is it really necessary?

Written by Nina on April 18, 2012 - 6 Comments
Categories: Editing, Writing

I’m in the process of rewriting a book I’ve always loved, but it really just isn’t ready for public consumption. It’s hard. I LOVE this story, but finding the gold in the pile of crud is really a daunting task. Mostly because I love writing narrative. Long, flowing descriptions of people and places. Paragraphs of [...]

Ringing in the New Year with New Goals

Written by Nina on January 4, 2012 - 4 Comments
Categories: Curiosity, goals, Life Observations, Personal

*Nina slides in breathless* I know I’m very late getting back to my blog after the holidays. It just seems I’m having a hard time rolling into 2012. I don’t have any more excuses reasons than any other woman who has a family and holiday responsibilities. Yep, Mr. Nina and I managed to have a wonderful [...]

Just a Little Update

Written by Nina on December 21, 2011 - 2 Comments
Categories: goals, Kindle, Marketing, Self-Publishing, Writing

With so many authors jumping into the self-publishing pond, I thought I’d share my experience. First of all, let me just say, if you weren’t already aware … I found the trek from writer to publisher to be a very steep climb. We’re talking ice crampons, ropes and pick axes (can you tell I’m doing [...]

Another Reality Check

Written by Nina on December 12, 2011 - 10 Comments
Categories: Life Observations, Personal, Writing

When I approach something new I look at it from all angles. Analyze. Re-evaluate. Change directions and tactics as needed. I repeat this process until I’ve met the objectives I set out to achieve. Hey, I’m a scientist at heart. It’s how I operate. That being said, the whole thing seems to go out the [...]
