My Writing Process

My Writing Process Blog Tour ~ Michael Lorde's Bloghop #writingprocess #bloghop Today I'm participating in a quickie blog hop about the process of writing ~ basically, we each write a little something about our own process (answering the questions below) and then "tag" three more writers to do the same next week. I'd like to give a shout out to the person who tagged me, JC Andrejeski, who's a mega talented fantasy author(Allie's War series, Slave Girl Chronicles series). Thanks, JC!

       What am I working on?

I'm currently working to finish the forth Tolomay's World novel 'The Wall'.  Book 4 (of a seven book series) will delve more into Tolomay's World's coming war, has a few surprising elements involving new life there, more romance between Tolomay and the one she loves. There's even some romance between two others (who will they be?). The ending is shocking.

How does my work differ from others of its genre?

Writing romance fantasy with SciFi elements tucked in here and there can be tricky as my novels are obviously mixed genres. I love nature though and my characters seem real enough to me that I feel as if I'm watching a movie when I write. My books focus not only on the characters, but also on nature and the Earth. I hope that all of my writing will leave people thinking long afterwards.  

Why do I write what I do? 

 I have always loved fantasy. I like the escape into fascinating worlds.

How does my writing process work? 

I don’t have an actual process. I sit down in a quiet environment to write, letting the characters have quite a bit of input in their chapters. So, that’s my writing process.

 Next week, you can discover the writing process of some friends of mine:  They will each post on their blogs on Monday, March 24th.

S.L. Wallace, author of suspenseful books such as Price of a Bounty series among others and is an upper elementary Montessori teacher and life long writer.  The author is a descendant of the famous William Wallace.  You can find her at http://crossroadsofhumanity.blogspot.com/
 

William O'Brien, poet and author of the great novel, Peter: a darkened fairytale.  O'brien holds an honours degree in Geosciences, has studied Occupational Health and Fitness, and has a degree in Science Communication.  I'm grateful that he chose to write a Peter: A Darkened Fairytale.  You can contact him at http://peteradarkenedfairytale.wordpress.com/

 

I would like to thank JC Andrijeski again for bringing me on board the tour. Is been fun! Talk to you soon.

Loyal to his mission he keeps his distance but a missing girl brings them onto the same case.  Together Luke and Nicole unravel the dark underbelly of a small town putting their lives on the line.   Luke can handle criminals, crooked officials, and crazy town people but will he risk his mission for a chance at love or will Sage make sure the warrior walks a line?
