My Favorite Part of a Romance

2/11/2012

39 Comments

Everyone, writers and readers, have their favorite part of a romance. Some love the first look, the first meeting, or the first kiss. Some love the ending, when the hero and heroine are happy and together, but my favorite part is the black moment. That moment towards the end when the hero and heroine know they love each other but don’t see how they can be together. I’ve heard other authors say they hate this part, they hate torturing their characters that way, but I love it. Maybe it’s my sadistic streak coming out.

The black moment is the most powerful part of the whole story, if it’s done right. This moment is full of conflict, emotion, and longing. It pulls on your heartstrings, and makes you wish you could change the whole story to make everything right for the characters. And sometimes it makes you want to crawl into the book and slam their heads together for being so stupid or stubborn. It’s the moment that makes the ending so sweet.

Picture
The black moment is my favorite part of a romance to read and to write, which is why Heart’s Ultimatum, my February release, is my favorite stories I’ve written so far. The whole story is essentially a black moment. The story doesn’t include James and Krista’s first meeting, first kiss or first night together. It starts two years into their relationship, when they’re already in love and already having problems.

As a result the whole store is filled with conflict, with emotion and longing. And hopefully it makes the ending that much sweeter. But you’ll have to read the book to find out for yourself.

What’s your favorite part of a romance? Leave a comment below letting me know what your favorite part of a romance is and be entered in to win a $10 gift certificate to bookstrand.com.

The return of WIP Wednesday

2/8/2012

0 Comments

 
January has been a crazy month and as a result I haven’t gotten to blog as much as I want. On top of not having  any works I was actually making any progress on. My December close out plan went very well. I sold two stories, both contracts coming in January, Snow Day and Serving Madame.  And I got some really great comments on Wandering that will help me revise it for resubmission. All in all I’m very pleased with the progress, but it does mean the last month has been a little chaotic. Snow Day will be out on March 15th, and a lot of January was spent on those edits along with the final edits for Heart’s Ultimatum.

Now that all edits have been turned in, and promotion is in full swing for Heart’s Ultimatum, it’s time to start moving forward, onto a new project. I’ve got a little down on several new works. I’ve written a few thousand towards both of the last stories in the Naughty Holiday List series, a few thousand toward a new ménage, and a few works in various stage of edit.

But the story I want to focus on finishing is a BDSM idea I’ve had for almost a year, entitled Chocolate Submission. It should be fairly quick, only 15000 words, and lots of fun. Plus it stars one of my all time favorite foods, Chocolate.  I’ve only ago about a thousand words, but here’s a little snippet to get you tempted.

 (Unedited excerpt)

“I never understood why you liked these [chocolates] so much.”

“I don’t know,” Jillian shook her head, a tendril of her hair falling down over her face and obscuring a section of her vision. “It’s the only thing that’s ever made me feel better. Besides…”

Jillian swallowed, the rich milky chocolate truffle melting down her throat. She dropped her eyes to the golden box in her lap, her cheeks heating. She fumbled her fingers around the chocolates not wanting another, but needing to focus on something besides looking up into the eyes of the man next to her. The one that seemed to be able to read her mind. Who knew all her wants and needs before she even had the notion herself.

“Besides what I do to you,” Cole finished. His voice was husky and dark, curling through her like liquid fire.

So my goal for February is to complete this story by the end of the month, possibly for submission as part of an anthology in March. That will require me to write at least a thousand words a day, for the remainder of the month, which sounds like a lot with all the promotion I have going on with Heart’s Ultimatum, but I’m so hungry for new words I hope it wouldn’t be that hard.  We’ll see. Wish me luck.
