Talking today about time management - is it true that "the more you do, the more you can do? - and also why authors might need to let go of that one book and move on to another.

Sex: Always, Extremely, and Profoundly

Our topic at the SFF Seven this week is “Sex in Your Novels: When Do You Use It, How Graphic Do You Get, How Does It Change Your Character(s)?”

I answered the question in my post title, so I guess I’m done and go finish trimming the tree!

All right, seriously, I suspect I’m fairly well known for writing the sexytimes into my stories. I sometimes teach classes in Sexual Tension and Sex as a Tool for Character Transformation. I think I’ve written maybe one or two fiction works with zero sex. Some of this is because my readers expect the sexytimes from me, sure, but it’s also because sex just always works its way into my stories. Come on over for a breakdown of how I use sex in a story like THE SNOWS OF WINDROVEN.

Touching back to yesterday's discussion of dealing with agents, how publishing is a small community - and how your agent might listen to your podcast when you complain about her! But all is good, and a shout-out to Sarah Younger of Nancy Yost Literary Agency for being awesome in all ways. The other agent mentioned is Joanna Volpe.

Talking today about dealing with agents and editors, changing agents, querying agents - and how no one will ever love your work as much as you do, or will care about your business as much. So I have advice on standing your ground and advocating for yourself and your work. Also thoughts on getting into story headspace, ramping up wordcount, and asking for title suggestions for Sorcerous Moons #5.

A bit of a departure today as I talk about intermittent fasting and health stuff, but then I talked about the release of WARRIOR OF THE WORLD, some upcoming bonus content and secret, exclusive stuff. I also touch on the three qualities you need to be a successful traditionally published author, and dealing with fire-drills from editors.

I'm back at it today, musing on vacation, taking time off, and learning to listen to your subconscious voice on whether to work or relax.

Jeffe’s Favorite Holiday Book

Our topic this week at the SFF Seven is our favorite holiday book. I have a Christmas tradition that involves my favorite seasonal books. I keep them in the bins with the decorations and bring them out only at Christmastime, when they occupy a pride-of-place position on an end table. Come on over to learn more about my favorite.
