I’m so glad you found your way here from Susan Scott Shelley
Beth Carter dished up our questions for this week. I hope you are enjoying getting to know the author’s of Romance Writers’ Weekly.
1.What’s your favorite aspect of novel writing? Dialogue? Setting? Conflict?Narration? Explain.
My favorite aspect of novel writing?
Hmm.
I’ve narrowed it to setting and dialogue.
But, when I really considered how I feel about each, I love writing dialogue.
Which is ironic, because I decided to never write a romance novel because of the difficult dialogue.
Seems I was wrong about that.
2.How do you choose the setting for your plot? Are they always similar settings or does it vary? (i.e., small town, big city, castle, etc.)

The same is true of my Highland Heather Romancing a Scot Series, my novellas, and
short stories.
My characters determine the settings, and since all my stories have been related in one way or another, there are shared settings.
For instance, Triumph and Treasure (Book I in the Highland Heather series) is partially set at a ball. My novella, Bride of Falcon, and a short story, A Kiss for Miss Kingsley take place at that same ball.
So far, none of my books has a single setting throughout. I might give that a try someday.
3.I’m a big six-word memoir fan. (Hemingway even wrote one.) Describe your writing day using just six words.
Just six words?
I can do this. Maybe. Here goes.
Write until I get it right.
Okay, let’s meander over to Victoria Barbour and see what she has to say, shall we?
