The one scene that made me cry writing it Hello Fabulous Readers! As authors, our goal is to evoke emotions when you read our books. If a scene is meant to be humorous, we hope to make you laugh. If it’s extremely sad, we want to move you to tears. We know—it sounds a bit mean of us, doesn’t it? Did you know that we sometimes cry while writing scenes because we put so much emotion into them?

Writing Sex Scenes Hello Fabulous Readers! Did I capture your attention? It certainly pulled me in at 1:30 a.m. while I woke, ready to write "that" scene. Crafting a sex scene demands that I tap into the right mindset, as it reaches far beyond the mere physical act. It involves a rich tapestry of emotions, intimate expressions, and the dynamics of connection between the characters.

Cat TV I recently stumbled upon Cat TV on YouTube and began playing it on my computer for my cats. It's the perfect little escape for them since they watch me tap away at the keyboard all day. I typically keep YouTube minimized, but every now and then, I forget to hit the mute button. When that happens, they come sprinting in, curious and eager to see what birds and squirrels are in attendance.
