Traditionally, I enjoy writing about romance. Will never wonder too far from that genre, but kind of leaning toward adding some paranormal sub-genres to my stories. Why? Please don't laugh, but I just finished reading the Twilight series and boy did that leave its mark! I haven't really read that many vampire romances, but that one takes the cake, in my opinion, of course. I truly believe she told a wonderful, and very long story...my turn! 

So now my question is, should I venture into the world of vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, demons, witches, or other fantastic creatures? Its like trying to pick out an outfit for your first blind date! hehe. 

I am leaning toward either vampire or shapeshifter. Those I could get very into. 

My next question: What are the best ways to go about building a world to house these fantastical creatures? Never really built a world before, always took what I read out of history books to create my settings for previous stories. 

Ahhhh!!! What am I getting myself into?  Oh, but I cannot resist the challenge of maxing out my imagination beyond the boundaries of comfort and knowledge. 

No worries, I am reading, reading, and reading books that are within the realm in which I am wanting to navigate. Still, the world building thing does make my nervous. 

Off to hit the books. Hugs!

Hello One and All!

I have joined this community in hopes to network with minds similar to mind, to get a tremendous amount of feedback for my writing skill, and to one day accomplish that beautiful dream of being published. Bestseller list one day? Maybe?

I have two wonderful children who keep me busy and give me every reason to procrastinate. My job as a manager is my second reason to procrastinate.  So, here I am doing everything I can to NOT give my self a reason to procrastinate and get my fingers to type the stories that I have trapped in my mind.
