Fan-girl Squeeeeeeeeeee


I've got back to school.....Virtual school that is. I'm taking an online class with Angela Knight. **Insert gratuitous squeeing**

The first book I ever read by her was Jane's Warlord. Totally rocked. I will admit, slightly ashamed, I first grabbed the book because of the cover. Personally I think there is a shocking lack of hot biceps, triceps, other ...eps on covers. Rock hard abs are very nice, but look at that that arm......*sigh*

Her writing is fast paced, funny, and really, really, sit in a cold bath while you read HOT! Tough Alpha slightly damaged males, Strong stand-up-for-herself females. My favourtie combination.

The class I'm taking is called FROM MILD TO WILD: CREATING SEX SCENES THAT ARE MORE THAN THE SAME OLD BUMP AND GRIND

Perfect timing as I polish my own story. I really find some parts hard to write. One person mentioned they almost felt voyeuristic while writing and yea I can understand that. Also I start worrying about what the people who know me would say, if they read it.

I have flown far under the radar when it comes to writing. When I became a finalist, my loving and thoughtful husband ran around and told everyone. Suddenly, I have people asking if they can read some of my work, or they are looking forward to reading it. Yikes Scares the hell out of me, because I know they don't have a clue what I am currently working on. This particular story has two heros and a single heroine.

So far I am been brushing them off with promises of later. I'll wait till I'm done and then let them read a heavily edited version.....um, well maybe I'll write a second story just for them?
