How To Ask For Writing Advice
Almost all of us are struggling with at least one writing related problem right now. (I know I am.) Thankfully, there’s at least one writer in Romanceland who has tackled that exact problem successfully. All we have to do is find her and ask her for advice. (This could be a him also but writing her/him all the time is tiring so let’s assume the writer is female. – grins)
The Question To Ask
I start with the question I want to ask. I make it as narrow as possible. Asking a writer how to write a book is a question that will take her ten years to answer. Asking a writer how to write a great first line for a cyborg romance is a question she can answer in an email.
I only ask questions I truly want answered. If I have already decided to write SciFi Romance, asking her if I should write Paranormal, Fantasy or SciFi Romance is wasting her time and will likely frustrate her (as she will know I’m not truly listening to her answer).
How To Find My Expert
Once I have figured out my question, I investigate whom I should ask.
It makes no sense to ask a contemporary romance writer how to write SciFi Romance. It also doesn’t make sense to ask a midlist writer how to break out of the midlist. Or a trad published writer how to self-publish.
If I want a range of answers, I might ask that question on a Yahoo or Facebook group relevant to my question. There are groups for every writer niche.
If I want a specific writer’s answer, I’ll reach out to her.
Should I Ask This Question Publicly Or Privately?
The more public the answer, the more generic and safe it usually is.
If I ask how much money writers make on their SciFi Romance releases in a group that is open to everyone, readers and writers, I will likely receive very vague answers. “I break even” or “I lose money on every release.” If I ask in a SciFi Romance writer-only group, I will likely receive more detailed answers. “My sales are between X and Y.” If I ask one specific writer in a private message, I will likely receive an even more detailed answer. “On release B, I earned Z sales.”
Note: If a writer tells me something in private, I do NOT share it with anyone unless I have her permission. That writer WILL find out I shared the information and that will be the end of that relationship. I try to be a writer other writers can trust.
Receiving Advice
I always thank the writer for taking the time to respond to my question, even if that response was “I’d rather not say.” If I ask in a group, I individually thank every writer who responds. Picking and choosing whom to reply to sends a message that the other writers’ feedback isn’t valued. I do NOT want to do that.
If the answer to my question is “I’d rather not say”, I try to think of a different way to approach the problem I have. Or I simply share the key problem. Maybe I don’t truly need to know how many sales the writer has. Maybe what I truly need to know is if my release will cover the XX costs of producing that release.
This Doesn’t Apply To Me
Sometimes my first reaction is ‘This advice doesn’t apply to me. I’m different.’ Sometimes (rarely) this is true. Often it isn’t.
When I first started writing, I was advised by a gazillion writers to stick to one niche, to become known for a certain type of story. I dismissed that advice because my muse had to be free. It couldn’t be locked down to one niche.
I was a dumb ass. (laughs) Every writer who gave me that advice had struggled with that same issue. They had merely figured out ways to work with their flighty muses. (I don’t publish every story I write, for example.) If I had followed up on their responses with “How do you handle the urge to write in other niches?”, I would have saved myself years of struggle.
Should I Apply This Advice?
Every writer is different and what works for one writer might not work for another (this applies to ALL of my advice in this and other posts).
If the advice isn’t something I feel comfortable doing, I don’t act on it. If I like the advice but I’m worried it might not work (because this business changes so quickly), I might test it. If the advice feels right to me, is logical, is applicable to today’s publishing world, I might act on it with everything I have.
I don’t argue with the writer about her advice. That doesn’t accomplish anything. I simply thank her and move on. I don’t broadcast that I’m asking others the same question (unless I mentioned that when I asked her the question). That can be interpreted as saying her advice wasn’t good enough.
Any writer who takes the time to respond to a question cares about the person asking the question. She is spending precious writing time trying to help me out. She still might give bad-for-me advice. That’s entirely possible. But her heart is in the right place.
This is how I tackle asking for advice. How do you tackle it?

Dark Flight
His mission. His challenge. His forever.
Orol, the Refuge’s second-in-command, has been given what he believes is a simple mission—escort two human females to the settlement. The winged warrior arrives at the meeting site to find one of the females missing and the other aiming a gun at his head. To rescue the first, he must capture the second. Once he has Rhea in his talons, however, he realizes he never wants to let her go.

Orol is dominant, edged with darkness, and determined to find her sister. Rhea will do anything to prevent that, even if it means playing sensual games of submission with her powerful enemy, seducing him into forgetting everything except her.

Passengers And Character Motivation
Note: If you haven’t watched the movie, Passengers, please don’t read this post. It WILL contain spoilers!
On Sunday, the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I finally watched Passengers, the space travel movie with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. It’s a beautiful movie. There are some gorgeous views of space. And I enjoyed the premise – A passenger on a 120-year-long voyage to a distant planet wakes up from his hibernation pod 90 years too soon. What does he do? The action was solid, the pacing was great, and there were explosions (which I always enjoy).
Chris Pratt’s character, Jim, does some heroic things. He also does some romantic things. He’s NO romance hero, however, and that is the one thing that bothers me about this movie.
Why isn’t he a romance hero?
Jim wakes his future love interest simply because he’s lonely.
He doesn’t know Jennifer Lawrence’s character Aurora. At all. He doesn’t know why she is undertaking the voyage or what her goals are. He doesn’t know if she sexually likes men. She has no skills that might help him return to his hibernation pod or, heck, survive at all in space.
There are over five thousand passengers on board. I’m certain there are engineers on the passenger list. He didn’t wake any of those folks. He didn’t even look over the manifest. For all he knows, one of the passengers on board helped design the hibernation pods. That passenger could have been super hot also. Women CAN be attractive AND intelligent.
Jim simply sees Aurora, thinks she’s pretty, listens to her interview, and decides to wake her up, dooming her to a life spent with him alone. Yep, he forces that harsh future on a complete stranger merely because she’s good looking, not caring about her feelings or desires.
Stronger motivation would have made this action much more romance hero worthy.
How to do that?
Make the heroine more than arm candy.
Have Aurora work for the space travel company. Jim doesn’t know she is merely an accountant when he wakes her but she DID overhear some things that will eventually help both of them.
Or
Make her skilled with technology. Want that fancy coffee? She can hack the system and get it for him.
Or
Have her be okay with solitude. She has lived for years in isolation. Unbeknownst to Jim, that was because she was infamous on Earth, hounded by the media, and she hopes to move to the new planet and be able to mix with people again, but he thinks she can be happy on her own (the movie shows us the opposite – Aurora was extremely social before her trip).
Or
Give her a connection to the problem. Her family owns the space travel company so she shares a bit of the blame for the malfunction.
Or
Give Jim any one of gazillion other motivations for his action that could explain why he targeted her to wake up.
But the writers didn’t do this. Aurora being pretty was enough for them.
It wouldn’t have been enough for a romance reader or writer. We expect more.

Seeking Vector And Grueling Books To Write
When I was a new writer, I believed all I had to do was figure out how to write a story and then every story I wrote after that one would be easy.
Yes. Stop laughing. I truly thought that.
On Saturday, I finally finished the first draft of Seeking Vector. This cyborg story is supposed to be released in September. The release date is in serious danger because I am ONE MONTH behind schedule.
Why did it take an extra month to write?
I don’t know.
Vector is an established character. I love him, find him fascinating. His story made me cry a couple of times but it wasn’t an overly emotionally draining story to write. The plot wasn’t super complicated. I can’t point to any one reason why Seeking Vector was grueling to write.
It merely was.
I had to force myself to write EVERY single day and EVERY moment during those days. There were no ‘Woot! I’m in the zone. Words are flying’ moments (During the writing of it. Now, ironically, as I revise it, that is happening.). Every word was a struggle.
I was told if that ever happened with a story, I should discard it. It won’t contain the magic reading buddies crave. That’s not true. Seeking Vector is filled with magic. Not every reading buddy will love it, of course. I don’t think that’s possible for any story. But Seeking Vector will be the favorite story in the series for some reading buddies. I feel that in my gut.
I’m glad I wrote Seeking Vector. It is a story I’m proud to share with reading buddies.
If you’re struggling with a story, I’m not telling you to stick with it. Every story and every writer is different. But know that it still has the potential to be a GREAT story.
And there’s nothing wrong with you as a writer. Grueling stories are part of this wonderful career. They happen to all of us.

Dark Thoughts – Violent, bloody, gory, and … cute?
Woot!
Monique at Fresh Fiction reviewed Dark Thoughts and she loved it!
Here’s a snippet…
“DARK THOUGHTS is extremely dark: after all, we’re talking about two killers here, and yet, because of Dita, it is fun, light, sweet, because she truly is. Nothing fazes her, and she is one of the most innovative literary creations I have ever read.”

Can love redeem a monster?
The Refuge is home to some of the most violent beings in the universe. Kralj, its leader, reigns over the remote outpost with terrifying ease, ruthlessly squashing any rumors of rebellion, killing anyone who breaks his rules. Primitive, deadly, powerful, he’s a monster, scarred both on his face and his soul. He has never met a being he couldn’t control.
Until he meets her.
Dita has one mission—to kill the three targets claiming sanctuary within the Refuge. Or so she claims. For the first time in his long lifespan, Kralj isn’t certain of another being’s intentions. The tiny assassin is immune to his powers, her thoughts unreadable. He can’t predict her movements, can’t control her, can’t stop wanting her.
Dita is rare, as unique as he is, and, to keep the residents of the Refuge safe, Kralj will have to kill her. But first, he’ll touch her, taste her, show her how passionate the beast inside him can be.
Dark Thoughts is a STAND-ALONE SciFi Romance.
The hero might be tall, dark, and scarred but don’t be fooled by his appearance.
He’s truly a monster.
This story is not for readers with delicate sensibilities.

Balvan And Dark Flight
I’ve received messages about Balvan, the giant green gatekeeper of the Refuge. He appears in Chasing Mayhem, Dark Thoughts and Dark Flight.
He threatened to take over Dark Flight. I had to limit his scenes because he tended to steal them. Which wouldn’t be fair to Orol and Rhea. They had their own thrilling tale to tell.
Balvan’s story is next (Dark Strength – releasing early 2018) and I can’t wait to write it. Due to his size, the modified humanoid has spent his lifespan being misunderstood. Folks are scared of him. They don’t know he can be a gentle giant (when he’s not crushing skulls).
Balvan is deserving of love yet he doesn’t believe he’ll ever experience it. So he showers love on the tiny creatures he rescues. (The puffker in Dark Flight belongs to him.)
I’m looking for the perfect female for him. It won’t be Paloma, Rhea’s sister. She is much too young for Balvan. He views her as he views the puffker – as a being to care for, to protect, to dote over. Paloma, I suspect, being a self-absorbed teenager, might also unknowingly put another dent in that big heart of his. Balvan tends to become attached to the beings he cares for.
Which makes the hunt for his female even more important. Once he finds her, Balvan will never let her go.
