(Watch your inbox for a beta request, coming soon.)<br /><br />@Barbara: Thanks for the kind words! I've read a lot of boring blogs in my time, and a lot of really funny ones. I'm hoping I'll fall into the second category for my readers, rather than the first. We'll see how long that lasts :-p <br /><br />And your language skills? Absolutely fine.

Have I ever said before that I love you...Hi Rachel,<br />Have I ever said before that I love your posts? I was never good with asking questions (it's the main reason why I don't see myself as a journalist in the nearest future), but I'll try :).<br /><br />1. Do you have any favourites authors that inspired your writing?<br /><br />2. How does look your typical writing day? Do you write in the mornings, evenings or it doesn't matter to you.<br /><br />3. Are your characters based on people who you know in "real" life?<br /><br />4. There was already a question why you've decided to write about male relationships, but I'd like to ask what draws you to BDSM genre (my poor language skills, I hope you'll understand what I've wanted to ask in this question :).<br /><br />BarbaraBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04548501618254822332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508393569905441472.post-75119444003714357042010-12-30T10:10:44.413-05:002010-12-30T10:10:44.413-05:00Hi Rachel!
{looks around}
Very nice, easy on my ...Hi Rachel! <br />{looks around} <br />Very nice, easy on my eyes too. Good job on the new blog.<br />Okay, I finally thought of some {rather lame} questions for you. But in my defense, I think I’ve already asked you most everything I had wanted to know. <br /><br />I’m always curious where people find their inspiration. So I want to know where you get your plot ideas. Are they just floating around up there in the gray matter? Do you sit in Central Park and make up stories about the people that pass by in your head…You know…Got an odd source of inspiration you feel like sharing?<br /><br />When you choose a character’s name does the actual meaning hold any weight for you, or is it just an aesthetic preference kind of thing?<br /><br />Are you an emotional wreck after you beat your boys senseless like you did in Counterpoint and Anchored? {can I say that I read Anchored already O_o} I’m curious because as a reader I have to take a deep breath, hold it, maybe chant ‘don’t cry-don’t cry,’ and try not to wince with each blow. That’s a pretty big emotional reaction for me so I want to know what it’s like from the writers end.<br /><br />And finally, because I really really want to know too, is Nathie is doing the cover for Crescendo: Book II of Song of the Fallen also? {crossing fingers}<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Ronnie <br /><br />Ps-Don’t put me in the drawing. I’ve all your books :D just asking silly questions because its fun.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06139101517749810636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508393569905441472.post-67733777950695976952010-12-25T20:08:13.520-05:002010-12-25T20:08:13.520-05:00Bleh, I never tried using my wordpress account ID ...Bleh, I never tried using my wordpress account ID before, and it didn't let me put my name instead of the domain, but yeah, it's Adara from GR. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508393569905441472.post-60798146577941673472010-12-25T20:06:12.746-05:002010-12-25T20:06:12.746-05:00I'm always interested in the research/time inv...I'm always interested in the research/time investment that goes into stories.
