Krista Lakes Then the computer died without internet backup. Her entire novel was lost.
Krista Lakes Ooh! I love the idea! I have a couple things I want to write first, but I will definitely give it some serious thought!
Krista Lakes The beauty of the series is that you can read them in any order you would like!
If you want the order I recommend then they can be split up into groups that make the most sense together:
-Saltwater Kisses, Rainwater Kisses, Freshwater Kisses,
-Champagne Kisses (Wishful Kisses and Mistletoe Kisses Novellas)
-Hurricane Kisses, Sandcastle Kisses, Barefoot Kisses,
-Sunrise Kisses, Waterfall Kisses, Island Kisses

Krista Lakes Not yet- I'm waiting for them to tell me what they want to do! I love these characters though, so I want to make sure I give them the story they deserve.
Krista Lakes I start with an outline so I can write out the parts I really want first and then figure out how to get my characters there. Then, I write off my outline. I go scene by scene (usually chronologically, but not always) when I get to that stage.
I found the book "2k to 10k: Writing Faster, Writing Better, and Writing More of What You Love" really helpful for getting started :)

When I got my mom into writing, she tried the chronological approach and hated it. So, when she writes, she skips all over the pace. (Typically, she does end>middle>beginning)
Krista Lakes I read. I watch TV (dramas)
I talk to friends and get random people to tell me their drama :D I love hearing other people's work drama (probably because it's not mine) and that always gives me ideas for characters and situations.
But if I'm really stuck, I read.
Krista Lakes I get to wear pajamas to work everyday. :D
Krista Lakes Read everything.
Analyze why you liked it or hated it. See what others have done. All the plots have been done already, but it's the characters that make them new. Find your new characters and see why the old ones work so well.
Krista Lakes Another book in the Kisses series. I'm planning on taking a little break from the Kisses world over the fall so I can write this idea I've had bouncing around for a while. I do love this universe though, so I'll probably come back to it :)
Krista Lakes Bills.
Sometimes I need a stick to get me motivated, but then other times I just have these words in my head that need to be written down.
I always try to have something to work on so that if I'm not feeling one thing, I have another I can work on.
Krista Lakes Ever After (the movie)
The one I'm working on right now is very Cinderella based, and I adore that movie. :D
