Mr Beta Male
Writing » Character Development, Work-in-ProgressAugust 27th, 2006
In your everyday historical romance, the hero is an Alpha Male. He takes charge, he’s depressingly sexy, and he makes you jealous of the heroine because she gets to touch those perfectly scuplted pecs. Don’t get me wrong, they certainly are fun to read. But my stories usually feature the Beta Male. What does that even mean, the Beta Male? Doesn’t that mean he’s a wimp? That’s he’s almost…too pretty to be a man? No, I don’t think so.

Writing Update
Writing » Work-in-ProgressAugust 16th, 2006
Did I mention that my current novel just passed the 70,000 word mark? Not to say that writing that many words means it’s any good, haha. However, keep in mind that most good agents/editors say a “developed” story should be around 100,000 words. If you’re reaching for novel length, that is. So yeah. I’m plugging away, even with my summer research (sort of an introduction to graduate school) coming to a close and multiple family emergencies. For those of you writing, keep it up. You’ll never get published if you don’t finish what you have.

Well. It’s been four months since I’ve written anything here. All right, well, let’s see what happened. For a while there I really didn’t have time to write anything. There were deaths in the family and in the families of some close friends. Then, I became really sick with a horrible sinus infection and we made an emergency hospital visit. I also became obsessively concerned about my grades. Haha so…yeah, I’ve been busy!

Well, summer classes took up a lot more time than I thought they would last month, but hey! I got all A-’s! I’m still researching a lot for The Winslow Charade, and at the 40,000 word mark, I decided I wanted to write in present tense. So, I’m in the process of changing everything over haha.
Scrapped Again

Changed The Winslow Charade main page, because right now, that plot isn’t cutting it for me. I feel badly for this story…I think this is the fourth time I’ve scrapped a main part of the plot. Therefore, The Winslow Charade has become the working title. Check it out to find out what we know so [...]
