Bad Boys Back to Blog

I’m blogging today over at The Bradford Bunch–talking about Bad Boys and giving away an ARC of Everlasting Bad Boys.  So, if you didn’t win an ARC in my newsletter contest (and those ARCs have all been mailed, by the way), then hop over and leave me a comment for a chance to win.

In other news…I’m working on a new project now.  When I write a book, the beginning is always the most challenging part.  Often, I’ll have two or three false starts as I try to get a beginning that really works for me.  If the beginning doesn’t “feel” write, I’ll write an alternate introduction–and if that one doesn’t work, then I’ll write one more.  After that, I take a break from the story a bit and go back later and read each intro.  At that point, I pick the one that flows the best and go from there.

If you’re a writer, what’s the most challenging part of the story for you?

And if you’re a reader, what kind of beginning really grabs your interest?

    Usually a funny scene or as a complete opposite, a scene featuring some kind of dramatic event or the after effects of one. Those usually grab my interest.
    Best of luck with your new project!

    For me definitely the beginning. Once I get into the voice of my characters it gets a little easier.
