I wanted to talk a little about my writing..
The way this all started was as short stories written in blog form. It was a kind of half task, half game I started with my Daniel. I would start writing a piece, and send him a message. he would go into the blog and continue the story, wrote his part and took us wherever he felt the story would go. It was like dancing, and it was wonderful. The stories read like a his and hers journal.
One day, he told me about NaNoWriMo. I was excited and planned to write a novel in the month of November. I used one piece from one of our short stories as a "seed" to write a novel around it.
After I was done with the novel, I inserted some of Daniel's writing, because I think it has so much passion in it.
The novels I wrote are not classified as erotica; they are not all sex scenes or BDSM scenes. They have a story that you follow. They do not qualify strictly as romance, because apparently romance has certain guidelines to follow. The people int he novels must be beautiful, affluent, problem free. They must meet casually, and then you are supposed to build the tension. They finally get together towards the last third part of the book or so, and have a happily ever after ending.
I hate cookie cutter novels, it is my personal taste. No offense, but I rather be taken on a ride where I encounter the unexpected. I wrote as I would like to read. I wanted to take the reader, and put him/her in the protagonist's shoes. i want the reader to feel what the protagonist feels. I want them to feel joy, pain, passion; I want them to feel alive!
