@jane-maree @daeus Wait for meeeee!! *dashes in, wondering what she is actually going to do*

@jane-maree Ok, I’m back.

@Daeus okay! I’ll be around still. 🙂

@jane-maree I have to get my little brother ready for bed, but I’ll be back soon.

@Daeus I’ll definitely be doing this sometime and poking it at a handfull of friends too!

@jane-maree Great!

@jenali That’s exactly what I was looking for. Great analysis!

@Daeus you can include me in. 😀

@jess @jane-maree @kate-flournoy @winter-rose @that_writer_girl_99 @graciegirl @overcomer I’ll be writing till nine.

@hannah-krynicki Absolutely you can announce it on your blog! The only official disclaimer I would have is that respondents typically read at least a handful of novels every year, but I would also prefer respondents be at least in their mid-teens.

@theliterarycrusader Yeah…when I brainstorm, it’s almost like there is a storm over my lake, crashing waves over to the shore, water-flinging ideas into buckets. 😛

I plan (and am) writing in the young adult fiction area, and none immediately come to mind that don’t have a love interest. Particularly ones that are cliche (like @daeus…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy 😛 Actually, my wall could use it too.

Seek truth, not trends.

@Daeus with or without your permission I am putting that on my wall.

@that_writer_girl_99 Btw, I love The Force Awakens too. 😉

@that_writer_girl_99 Love the question.

We’ve actually got a resource coming out that you’ll hear about tomorrow that covers this topic (among many other things).

Personally, I’ve never been a romance reader and I never planned to write it either. My position on writing it, however, is shifting. In my current WIP, I included a love interest…[Read more]

KeePers everywhere!

1,000 strong. That’s my goal.

I am thrilled to announce the launch of the new Reader Behavior Survey. If you haven’t already read through this thread, the Reader Behavior Survey is a survey I put together that asks readers detailed questions to probe into how they think and what influences them. “Why?” you ask. Well, these…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 this is a good question, and @Aratrea has a good answer. I’d just like to add that first, it is possible to write a good romance without experience if you’re looking on it as essentially a really, really deep friendship. Obviously romance is more than that, but it will be easier to let the character’s slip into romance if…[Read more]
