#WritersCoffeeClub 2.17 — How do you write about ecstasy, in a spiritual, artistic, or sensual context?
I'm a romance author, so I feel called out by this prompt lol. Combine all three of those (spiritual, artistic, and sensual), and then you've got my writing. Because emotion should fill every page, and every single one of those words and what they mean should be included when you're writing romantic scenes, especially when it comes to the dark romance, paranormal romance, or romantasy genres.
#WritersCoffeeClub 2.6 — From start to finish, how much time elapses in your current WIP?
Well, I can't give away any spoilers to my readers here. I suppose you'll just have to wait and see. But I will say this, that it's a sizable chunk of time, at least.
#WritersCoffeeClub 2.8 — How imperfect is your pacing? Do you consider imperfection a sign of your humanity?
These questions are rather thought-provoking. Maybe that *is* a sign of our humanity, and mine, of course. No one can be the perfect writer. I don't mind my pacing, though.
#WritersCoffeeClub 2.9 — Do you subscribe to 'show, don't tell?' Why, or why not?
Not really. I never overdo the "telling" part, though, but maybe that's just because my writing style is a bit different. You can do both in moderation without giving away too much. As an author, we're "telling" the story.
#WritersCoffeeClub 2.10 — Talk about a work which subverted your expectations, in a good way.
This one's giving me a tough time of things. I do one of two things, either go into a book without expectations, or I'm drawn to something that everyone's talking about (and they seem to adore) and I genuinely end up loving it as well. So, that doesn't help. In general, I try not to get my hopes up or to have expectations.
#WritersCoffeeClub 2.11 — What time of day is most productive for you? Why?
Nighttime. I'm a little night owl. It's when I have my peace and quiet, when I'm all alone and can be left to my own devices (which is sometimes dangerous).
#WritersCoffeeClub 2.12 — How unique is the setting of your current WIP?
The year is 1890, and this story takes place in Moray, Scotland. It's the perfect spot in Scotland for a paranormal romance to take place. How could I *not* choose it? It's such a beautiful area. Sprinkle in supernatural/paranormal creatures, of course, and that's the premise.
