Writing Romance in the Big Apple! Tuesday, November 25, 2008. The Community of Writers. Last Saturday I, along with 3 intrepid fellow members of my RWA Chapter, trekked from Manhattan to Nutley, New Jersey to see a panel of romance authors discuss the e-publishing business. We passed a girls' touch football game attended by many from Nutley High. We kept track of the numerous bars and restaurants because we had already decided we REALLY needed a cocktail! With handouts from Cathy G. that provided a w...

Writing Romance in the Big Apple!: Where Do You Belong?
http://lisespeaks.blogspot.com/2011/04/where-do-you-belong.html
Writing Romance in the Big Apple! Wednesday, April 6, 2011. Where Do You Belong? I’m prompted to ask – based on my own memberships, as well as recent posts on an RWA chapter loop – what other writing organizations do you belong to outside of RWA and its regional chapters and special interest groups (which are very valuable on their own)? What other organizations do you belong to? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My Short Story, "Share and Share Alike". Coming Soon - Redux! The Soul of a Writer. My dog...

Writing Romance in the Big Apple! Wednesday, June 3, 2009. It's The Little Things. Sothat's what I was doing this afternoon. Going through four year old magazines, month old newspapers, and culling ideas. Inspiration. So never pass by the paper. The magazines. Don't necessarily stockpile (I'm going to be culling til the cows come home . and did I mention the story about the family that has happy cows and an organic ice cream operation? Oh, and don't forget: RECYCLE! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Be A Doobi...

Writing Romance in the Big Apple! Tuesday, August 7, 2012. The Moment Has Arrived! The moment every author awaits arrived for me last week. In the midst of a flurry of writing activity that included completing my current erotic romance novel (for a contest submission - fingers crossed! The madcap whirl made it tough to focus on my darling short story (okay, darling is probably not the right word - smokin' hot short story) that had been submitted for a menage anthology late in the Spring. Dig deep into yo...

Writing Romance in the Big Apple! Wednesday, January 21, 2009. So I've redesigned my blog site to reflect the basic fact that everyone I write is romantic. Even if it isn't romance. Not exactly hearts and flowers, but more in keeping with me! Dancing attendance upon my Mademoiselle. But no matter the heat level, her heart is always engaged. Whether it is a kiss on the hand or a super-hot flogging, she loves the man who does her so good. So if you'll excuse me . Love Awaits! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Writing Romance in the Big Apple! Tuesday, October 27, 2009. Publishing Waits for No Writer. And for the 2nd time I am suffering a bout of gnashing, wailing, grimacing and grousing over being beaten to the literary punch. In 2006 I completed a (very, very rough) first draft of a time-travel romantic thriller of a novel about Jack the Ripper. Never polished it or completed it in such a form as could be submitted (why? Maybe a part of the reason (if I'm not the first, why bother? Oh, silly girl! That's rig...

Writing Romance in the Big Apple! Sunday, May 3, 2009. The Lusty Month of May! There's a great song in the most romantic of classic musicals, CAMELOT, that extols the virtues of Spring as it impacts the romantic nature of men and women. "The Lusty Month of May" was great fun to sing when, as a Junior at Carle Place High School, I portrayed Guinevere in our Spring musical production. Romance novelists, like any other author of fiction, face the usual problems of craft, writer's block, coming up with ideas...

Writing Romance in the Big Apple! Saturday, January 10, 2009. When Bad Computer Things Happen To Good People. OK, so I will freely admit that I am technologically challenged. I'm also rather complacent because I have a day job in an office with the blessed IT department (read computer geeks who solve all the problems so all I have to do it email HELP and like magic it is repaired). Every day - mornings before work, evenings as soon as I arrived home from work, BLOG, BLOG, BLOG. All of a sudden. Then toni...
