Sprinkling Retellings With A Touch of Original
I love adaptations and retellings. There's something about the challenge of taking something classic and making it your own. My first attempt was The Beast's Redemption my Beauty and the Beast story. I'm currently toying with the idea of another retelling and was thinking about how to pay homage to the original. This got me to thinking about what elements I included from the original fairy tale

Too Little, Too Much, Just Enough - Adult Content Warning
Content Warning on the Post.
I wish there was a way to set an adult content warning on individual posts instead of the entire blog. Anyone know a way?
Back to the content warning. I'm going to discuss the steamy/sexy side of my Angie Derek pen name. So if you're under 18 please skip this post.

Okay, on to the actual post. My first paranormal novella The Beast's

Love What You Do
When I first start writing and learning, cough, craft. I hated writing. Seriously. I can remember hating the act of writing, but loving the stories. The characters lived in my head and wanted their stories told. I used to say I hated the act of writing, but loved having written.
I realized recently I hadn't thought or said that phrase in a very long time. Why I wondered? What had changed?

Withdrawal
Something I should have factored in, but completely failed to consider with my bubble experiment was withdrawal. I am going through social media withdrawal big time.
I go to my blogger feed - no new blogs. Go to Twitter - only five new tweets since the last time I checked. Facebook - I can actually find people in the feeds - wow.
What it amounts to is I now have way more time to work, but I

What's In A Name
Southern Belle and Me.
A reader recently pointed out that I tended to include the names of my pets in my books. Obviously a reader who knows me personally to make the observation, but it made me think. Do I?
Horse Charmer - Kali isn't a name of a pet, but she was inspired by my horse Kristy. I also had a pony named Cassie as a kid which is pretty close to Cassia. There also was in a previous

Coming Up with a Cover Concept
I've been working on cover ideas for my two upcoming books over the last two weeks. I'm still graphically challenged enough that I will probably be hiring my cover designer to do them. But I like to pick out the images myself along with the overall concept on the cover. Both have proved to be a lot more challenging than my previous covers.
Here's some of the images I've found in looking for

Author Photos
We just got back from the stable after taking some pictures of Prince Charming and I to be my new author photo. We've narrowed it down to four pictures which we thought were the best. I'm having a hard time choosing from there. Plus, should I use different poses for my two pen names?
