Three or Four Observations about Writing Heart-Racing Love Scenes: Sweet or Steamy?
By Mike L. Downey
Posted 2/28/2025
We’ve all been there as a reader. The characters hungrily reach for each other and then . . . they’re mostly silent in the sweaty afterglow. Or your book (or tablet) catches fire from the sex. Or it’s somewhere in between.

WHY PLOTTING IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS
By Diana Georgelos
Posted 10/30/2024
When companies launch new products, they spend a considerable amount of time on research and development. I would know. I’ve spent a significant part of my career working to create consumer packaged goods products, otherwise known as the products you find lining the shelves of grocery stores and pharmacies. The first step in any new product development process is to conduct a brainstorming meeting to generate innovative ideas. Then the team assesses the desirability and viability of the options and picks the best idea to develop. As part of the process, the team develops early-stage prototypes which they test and improve before launching the final version of the product into the marketplace.

Write Your Christmas-Romance TV-Movie Script Today!
By Scott Kirkpatrick
Posted 10/30/2024
Ever thought about writing your own Christmas romance TV movie script?
You should! Christmas romance movies are cute, quaint and cozy. They’re also major business verticals for television broadcasters and video on demand platforms—which means there’s a huge audience out there.

And although no writing project could ever be classified as ‘easy’, I will say that film/TV executives are slightly open-minded to receiving Christmas romance scripts from unknown and/or non-represented writers than other genres. (Why? Simply because they need a lot of them.)

Next Steps After NaNoWriMo (Even if You Don’t Get To 50,000 Words)
By Ann Kellett
Posted 10/30/2024
I’m not too proud to admit it: after three NaNoWriMo experiences, I have yet to reach the 50,000-word goal.
Along the way, though, I have learned to flip that statement into a positive: for three years in a row, I have successfully benefited from NaNoWriMo in many ways, but the word count is not one of them.
In fact, I believe the word count is not the only—or even the main—thing that counts in NaNoWriMo. Here are five take-aways to keep the momentum going for those of us who might not reach the (arbitrary) goal.
