Books Who Encouraged Me

  Hello all, first let me say I love this cover. What encouraged me to start writing my own stories was a cover like this. I read a lot of dark romance books & monster romance books. And all I see is one kind of woman represented in most of these stories.  You know the ones, blond, pretty, petite, either not too smart or gutsy. I need to see other women represented in stories like these.  Let me see some women of color take on the stalker or monsters of the world. I bet their attitude, and actions would be very different from the ones we normally read about. That's why I am writing short stories to represent women I want to read about in stories that I enjoy reading.  Before you say it, yes, I have read stories that represent women of color, but their characters act, think, and look like their blonde-headed counterparts. Like, who's writing these stories anyway? So that's one of my reasons for trying to write stories I want to read about.

Book Charters

  I love trying to picture my book characters in my head. I would say it's easier than writing the story itself. I have the characters that I want to write about in my mind. The hard part is putting it together, so I get the character that I want before I start writing my story. I start with a basic character idea, or sometimes I write the story first and then let my story tell me what kind of character it should be. There is so much to this writing stuff you just don't know.  But you know what I like It.  It's a new adventure for me that I am more than willing to learn about. I love creating characters and putting stories and different personalities with them.  Can you imagine the story you could tell with this picture?
