I used to but I saw this blank look come over there faces. lol They didn't understand a thing I was talking about. <br /><br />But I do talk about the business end of writing, and non-writers seem very interested in that, especially readers.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01843816981385732033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3986523092898008409.post-29266590093327870492010-06-21T08:01:09.872-07:002010-06-21T08:01:09.872-07:00Cat-

It's kind of hard to be like 'Well I'm in Chapter 14, ending a story ARC and heading to the end of the action.'

If they want to know what I write, I tell them it is historical romance. If they want to know what type of historical romance, I'll tell them it is Regency-set. That's about the extent of what I tell them, other than perhaps keeping them up to date with how things are going in terms of finding an agent or editor for my writing. Even that, though, I try to keep to a minimum. They just don't understand the process and it is too much to explain.Catherine Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830640955594808304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3986523092898008409.post-43749172992094644942010-06-21T07:19:43.759-07:002010-06-21T07:19:43.759-07:00LOL!

How do you go - the plot is this v/s this and the character arc takes her from this through this to this and there's the romance external/internal conflict that blows up to this big black moment before it gets resolved that her character arc is now complete and she can-- See what I mean?<br /><br />My surefire answer now when asked 'How's the writing?' is to go 'penning the next Bend It Like Beckham.' Which is not a book, btw, lol, but it gets people the info.<br /><br />Hugs!Zee Monodeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709226882459365836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3986523092898008409.post-5033701306679594472010-06-21T05:12:52.778-07:002010-06-21T05:12:52.778-07:00Oh god, I never discuss the sex!!Oh god, I never discuss the sex!!Rebecca Roycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556741805325106199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3986523092898008409.post-35767597679838354092010-06-21T04:42:23.272-07:002010-06-21T04:42:23.272-07:00I think my husband is secretly hoping I'll gro...I think my husband is secretly hoping I'll grow out of this 'phaze'. LOL I love talking shop with other writers but that's about it. Discussing the nuances of my stories is difficult unless the person's read it. The easiest people for me to discuss my books with are my sons, they genuinely seem to be interested in the monster and alien aspects. Oh and no, we don't discuss the sex.Annie Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06016425791073062800noreply@blogger.com
