Here's a question for my romance writing friends. Which one would you choose: one real night of hot, steamy sex (you get to write it) with your favorite character, or the promise of a having your book published by a dream publishing house in the next coming year?
Speaking as a man, then I can tell you categorically that the reason I have only had 3 books published to date is because I have spent too many nights as you describe as a youth.
Speaking as an old man, then I would gladly give up any hope of the same if someone would publish another.
I'm sensible like you and would go for getting the book published. Hell, then I could write all the sex scenes I want and get paid while doing it. Writing. That is.
Tom made me laugh hysterically!!! Then you blushing made me laugh even harder!
I would choose publishing please! Though I'm not writing romance so I guess I'm cheating but I still had the desire to comment! I can't cheat on my husband with a hot character of mine!
Me blog was acting strange last night and I could not, for the life of me, see any posts being posted. It was like . . . I knew you guys were having a party at my house, but I couldn't get in. Dammitt!!!
Locked out of my own fun thread. I'll get you for this Google if it's the last thing I do ; (
I'm going to buy a Stephenson lie detector and stick it on this here blog. It has a built in mind reader (will have to pay extra for that).
No, I have this all planned out. I get the book published with the stipulation in my contract that part of my wages be used toward the creation of my male MC (thank God for modern technology, yo) for hot, steamy sex. It would, of course, be purely for research, cause I'm not a slut. Also, a big suitcase of money and a free laptop. The Apple store beotches won't be happy to see me, but it's partay time!
Published. Because if I had sex with anyone other than my husband...my husband would not be happy, then I'd have to rebuild his ego all over again and dang-it that takes too much work. LOL.

Speaking as a non-romantic, you have lovely eyes.
Wow. Where did that come from? I'm literally blushing. But anyway . . .

As hard of a choice it is, I pick #2. haha. Great question, though. :) It was a hard choice, believe me.

I'm not a 'romance writer', and only 2 books so far. But of course it HAS to be No 1.
ReplyDeleteSex and damnation, Cro.
I'm not a romance writer, but I've had my fair share of romance and...I'd take the book deal. No question about it.
ReplyDeleteI was lying about having had 3 books published, but that is more because of 35 years of onanism rather than romance.
