Thanks
so much for having me here today! So, I was asked to talk about why I chose to
write for the Honey Creek line of books.
Most
of the time, what I enjoy most about writing is the ability to go wherever my
mind takes me. If I need a fancy restaurant, then *poof* I come up with one.
Writing for Honey Creek was a little different. The town and cast of secondary
characters already existed. I couldn’t simply make up a restaurant or develop a
new street for my characters to walk down. I had to stay within the established
boundaries of the town.
There
was an upside as well though. Sometimes the hardest part of a scene is naming a
restaurant or deciding where a person is going to work. With that done for me, I
could focus instead on the wants and needs of my characters.
Writing
Nursing Second Chances certainly allowed me the opportunity to work some of my
writing muscles. I had to change my fly-by-the-seat of my pants approach to
writing and be a little more organized with my process. In the end, I think I
found a nice mix between the goals of my individual story and the needs of the
community.
