Susan Stephens' Writing Diary

Hey, girls, don't miss the chat on www.accessromance.com All-A-Blog.

And for those of you who are writers, this may be especially relevant.

I say this because I have compiled a list of questions to ask my characters so I can find out what makes them tick- and my interview with Zara Kingston, the heroine in my November release Bedded By The Desert King is printed in full over on Access Romance.



I've rec'd a few messages to say this looks like a helpful writing tool, so take a look and see what you think.





Meanwhile I am giving my characters heart (real heart/even more of it) in my second draft of my first Modern X-tra. In my first draft I get the story down as fast as I can, and in the second draft I start taking a look at what's going on inside my characters heads.

I can reveal that the village where all the fun takes place is called, Hawkshead, and here's the emblem I have chosen for the village.



The hawk certainly mirrors the complex nature of my alpha (Oh, yes he's alpha)
I find images as well as words help me to develop a novel- we all have different techniques. Bottom line: we love what we do, every second of it.

Have a good one, ladies!

Hope to see you over at Access Romance. I won't be announcing the winner of today's AR All-A-Blog prize until Monday, so you have plenty of opportunity to chat over there.

Hugs all round
Susan
