Writing Process Blog

I was tagged by my dear friend Bella to give some insight into my writing process. Be forewarned: I have no process! Or, if I do, I am blithely unaware. :D

What am I currently working on?

I have several things going on at the moment. I just turned in my Book 2 in the Swift Justice series and that should be coming out very soon. I also am editing a new work, “The Marriage Pact” that I hope to have a contract for soon. Other than that, I’m writing “His Good Girl” the third book in the Old Fashioned Husbands series and working on a spanking legal thriller, “Big Heels, Bad Attitude”. 
 
How does my work differ from others in its genre?

I try to make each of my books very personal to me--often including a conversation I’ve actually had, or some hope or fear that is mine. It helps me get  on a deep-down personal level with my characters so that they feel real. 
 
Why do I write what I do?

Firstly, because I’ve been fascinated with all things spanking since I was a child. Secondly, because I truly believe in domestic discipline and its power to heal relationships and families. 
 
How does my writing process work?

Again, I don’t really have a “process”. I do try to outline my stories so I have some vague idea of what I’ll be writing about. I started at my publisher’s request, but it really does help keep me on track. Sometimes I have to go back to change some things, and that’s generally
OK too. My only process, I suppose, is knowing which book I’ll be writing next. Once I start, though, I do try to think on my character and get to know them, so to speak. 

That’s it for me and I hope you’ve enjoyed getting to know me a little better! Have a great
day!

"How I Spank My Wife" 04/12

Good morning! Happy Saturday, all you spankos! :P
This excerpt features Callie and Kurt talking about the roles they're playing in the movie "How I Spank My Wife". Hope you like it!

I was caught off guard, once again, by his way with words. No wonder he was such a charmer, I thought to myself. He could talk about things that most men scoffed at, and with such earnestness that it took your breath away. 

“And you want to know something? I am looking for my own Lori, for a woman who will accept me as I am, and be my best friend, my confidant.” I opened my mouth, but he cut me off. “And who, yes, accepts my correction, but knows that it is done out of all the love that I have for her.”

I couldn’t deny it, the man talked a good game. He now had me waffling on a subject that just moments ago I’d been ready to do battle for to defend my point of view. “That sounds nice,” I admitted. “But it’s just not real, Kurt. That’s why Richard is in a movie, not real life.”
