Why I write what I
write, by Jennifer Conner
1) What am I working
on?
I am working on a new
series called, The Love List. The
title is, Uncorked and In Love. I am
writing the first in the series. The other 3 books will have a common theme but
written by different authors. I always have fun with a new series to get it off
the ground. I just finished with the first in The Places to See series, The
Empress of Ireland.
2) How does my work
differ from others of its genre?
In many of my stories
and series I like to tackle heroes and heroines who are dealing with bigger
life issues. In my Dog Tails Christmas
series, The Christmas Gift that Keeps
Wagging the hero had a little boy who has grand mal seizures and needs a
seizure dog to predict when the seizures come on. In my Regimental Heroes, the
men were struggling with PTSD which would not have been diagnosed in Victorian
England. In my novel, Shot in the Dark, the police detective has been shot and
his leg crippled.
3) Why do I write
what I do?
I write romance,
because in the romance genre you have a happy ending. The end. J There is
too much unhappiness and grief in the outside world. I like to bring people a
bit of escape and happiness. Let them escape and know that not everyone is
going to die in the end.
4) How does my
writing process work?
I don’t have a ton of free time to write, so when I
do I need to stay focused. I am a linear writer. I have an idea with the
beginning, middle and the end. I start and write through. I read, reread, then
reread, send through my critique group, rewrite, have Beta readers read it,
then send it to the publisher’s editor and then rewrite again and start the
editing process again!
I keep a list of story ideas I may hear on TV or
newspaper and a list of character’s names to pull from Ask anyone, I TRY and
come up with unique character’s names.
