Dear me! I'd better get to it! LOL
When writing your first story there are things you need to do.
What was the first Romance story you read?
  •   17 comments
Harlequin Romances from the 1970s.
OkieGirl Author Icon - I loved Victoria Holt and those gothic themed plots.
It was an interesting novel about a Madame and her back story. It was called Butterfly, but I forget the name of the author. It wasn't a bad read at all!
Homophones seem like small potatoes in the grand scheme, but improper usage can negatively impact your writing.
Do you have a favorite? *Smile*

Kotaro Author Icon - 4. To, Too, Two... and Tu, which is archaic, but still there...
Favourite himophones?

Beak oars ewe asked... know. Knot reely.
Onomatopoeia and... what's the other one...?

Seriously, I think it's "bear" and "bare." For some perverse reason, I get a kick out of transposing one with the other when I read it, just to see how goofy the context becomes. Also, I like to mess with people who say "bear with me" by telling them I will NOT get bare with them!

Strange how I don't have many friends...

🐕GeminiGem🎁 Author Icon - I just looked at the preview. It sounds like a nice, little story. The illustration is cute.
         I downloaded the Kindle Unlimited freebie to Bren's Kindle. We'll read it later today and I plan to buy a couple paperback copies for our two youngest grandkids. (Ebooks are more Bren's cuppa tea than mine. Sorry. I doubt you'll mind selling a couple paperbacks. I suspect you earn more for those than for the electronic copy.)
Humble Poet PNG Author Icon - That would be fabulous, thank you!
I use it to find small mistakes in my stories.

What's your favourite mode of travel?

That depends on where I am going. When I travel abroad, I use a teleportation device. It's not the best way, but you mostly get there in one piece.
No preference, just as long as someone else - preferably a professional - is doing the driving.
Tannus Author Icon - Oh I would love one of those.....

dragonwoman Author Icon - this is another one i'd like to read, if it's available on WDC. 🤔🤔🤔
Boulden Shade (fka Jeff Meyer) Author Icon - It ended up that the 8 balls was loaded and exploded(in my story) One of the few stories I wrote on napkins!
dragonwoman Author Icon - I forget the author, but I read a sci Fi story where two physicists were playing billiards around the obstacle of a tiny, contained black hole. One of them got pissed and used physics to shoot the 8 ball THROUGH his opponent.

That's theoretical physics, with a capital T, and that rhymes with P, and that stands for pool!!

I'm working on a new draft of "Rage of Envy Rewrite Project" Open in new Window.. I feel like cleaning out my port of everything but what has awardicons but I'm hesitating. I also want to wipe my laptop which would make me lose a lot of what I have stored on it. So many things pulling me this way and that. I feel like I'm running in circles and I didn't mean to run track.
Humble Poet PNG Author Icon - Thanks. I need at least fifty pages!!!
I’m writing in my head. I started my life story a few years back after both my parents died (I wish I knew more about their lives), have it mostly finished but I’m stuck. I need to learn a new computer program to format the book and it’s holding me back. But in my head, I’m doing it. Now, if I can get it out of my head, sit my butt down in front of the computer and just do it, I’ll be OK. But - my husband is in front of it playing a game and I fear it’s just another excuse for not doing it. I’m a great procrastinator. I bought a book on procrastination about ten years ago - I still haven’t read it.
