Every muscle in Su’s body screamed in #protest the next morning from the carnal delights Jeff had treated her to the prior night.

Here's my real life "use the word in a sentence"... The weather seems to be protesting the arrival of spring with freezing temperatures!
I'm so ready to stop being cold!

I read a lot and read fast. But at times, prefer to slow down a bit too to savor the journey through a book.
A slow, slow reader. I used to be much faster, but writing has taken over everything, so these days I'm just a little slowpoke with a huge TBR. As for what I read: lots of fantasy, interspersed by classics and the occasional contemporary coming-of-age 🥰💙📚

I read a lot and read fast. But at times, prefer to slow down a bit too to savor the journey through a book.
In writing, the journey. It allows me to shift into my pantser tendencies. As a reader, I love to see how a story unfolds.

For me, the journey exists to bring the characters to their appropriate destination. If the destination doesn't fit, if the work doesn't "stick the landing," it often dilutes my enjoyment of the entire work, even if the journey was a pleasant one.
(I sometimes skip to the last page.)

A new week, a new #pretendpanel!
March 22nd: Is it about the journey or the destination?
You can answer for both reading and/or writing!
(with a side order of: what do you think about people who read the end of the book first?)

For Jeff at first, in 2001, when he first met Su...the idea that she was so young was a bit of an #ego stroke for him, being that he was far older. But as their relationship deepened, it became so much more.

Jeff realized early on that he couldn't #skate through this relationship with Su on only flattery alone, he had to bring more to the table, so much more.

I have written about domestic violence and child abuse in my books. I have also written about murder too. If it helps the plot along, it's included but it's not gratuitous or overly graphic. Generally my novels don't include violence.

Happy weekend to you, #pretendpanel. This Saturday, I would love to know...
March 15th: Since it is the Ides of March... what is your approach to violence or death in your stories?

Jeff had to release his #inhibition when it came to sexual practices around Su. She was always willing to take things a bit further. For example, copying every pose in the Kama Sutra book for starters.

I just keep moving forward, keep writing. I used to take it personally but now? Not so much. At least I'm doing something. Doing it, trying as opposed to talking about writing.
I also consider the source too.
