• #AmWriting Writing Advice That Doesn’t Work For Me

  Posted at 7:05 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on February 23, 2018

  

  It seems like more than eight weeks have gone by in the year. February alone, for me, seems like it’s been at least eight weeks. It’s the shortest month! But we are in the eighth week of the Marketing for Romance Writers 52-Week Blog Challenge Blog Hop. Our #MFRWauthor topic this week is:

  Worst Writing Advice I’ve Gotten. 

  I modified the topic a little to suit my need.

  Week 8: Worst Bad Writing Advice (for me)

  Who am I to say this is bad advice?  It’s advice that doesn’t work for me. I’m NOT saying it’s bad advice for others. Or that it’s bad advice at all. We all have to write our own way. My way isn’t your way. My process can’t be compared to your process.

  What’s the advice or rule I’m talking about?

  “Don’t edit as you go.”

  This process works for other authors and some participants in NaNoWriMo. Me? I have to edit as I go. I have to. It kills me not to go back and rewrite. I can’t tell you how often I rewrite, rewrite, rewrite my beginning. This is how I write. I go back to edit. When I say I edit as I go, it isn’t like I type a paragraph and have to go back to edit it unless the BRAT nudges.

  I’ll do this when I’m finished writing for the day or if I need a break to think something through before continuing. Sometimes, I wait until the next day or next writing session. Of course, it takes longer to finish a draft this way, but it makes the revisions much easier.

  If I’m away from a manuscript, like a have been with my current WIP while revising one of my other books, I’ll go back to the beginning to reread and rewrite as I get familiar with the story again.

  

  Writing without editing as you go works for many, many authors. There’s nothing wrong with the process, for them. At times I wish I could sit down and write a draft this way, but if I try, I am fighting with myself. There’s a little BRAT sitting on my shoulder poking at me, whispering in my ear that I missed a word back there, or I needed to fix something, and it won’t let up. It’s as simple as:

  This process doesn’t work for me.

  My bad advice isn’t your bad advice. Do what works for you.

  We’re at Week Eight in the Blog Hop. Let’s click HERE to read what other authors have to say.

  

  Thanks for your visit today. Enjoy your weekend.

• Open and Closed Doors to the Future or Bedroom? #MFRWauthor

  Posted at 9:29 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on August 25, 2017

  Marketing for Romance Writers 52 Week Blog Challenge Blog Hop

  

  Week 34 Open Doors or Closed Doors?

  This topic has a couple meanings to me. First, I think of doors that have been opened in my life to let in good things. Bad things sneak in open doors, too. It’s the same with closed doors. Good or bad things get trapped, and you have to wait for the door to open again. Do you take advantage of the open door and all the possibilities? I have. I’ve also had doors slammed, and they stayed closed for years.

  

  But…

  Since I write sensual romance, I see open and closed doors as meaning something else. LOVE scenes in a book. Are the scenes open for the reader to see what is going on, or does the couple (author) close the door to the world?

  

  Since Marketing for ROMANCE writers came up with this topic, I’m going with what it means as this romance writer. I’m curious to see what the other authors have come up with for this topic.

  My doors are open. (Not in real life.) Sometimes the figurative doors are open in a pickup, barn, tent, HOT TUB, but yes, open. Do you think writing open door love scenes is easy? If you can’t picture it in your head, then you’ll probably have a difficult time writing them. With my tenth sensual romance coming out soon, I’ve become accustomed to leaving the door open and, yes, I see it as a movie going on in my head. I’m there. I hear the music, see the sway of candlelight and shadows on the walls, the warmth of the sheets and heated bodies. I’m not embarrassed to visualize this anymore.

  In my writing, I prefer to have “open door” love scenes, though some of them do happen off the page–closed doors. I like writing and sharing what my couple feels sensually. I don’t use descriptive body part language because I like my scenes to be more sensual and to make an impact with romance.

  I’m not saying writing descriptive body part words isn’t sensual, because I read erotic romance and it CAN BE sensual, sexy, and crazy hot, but I choose for my couples not to use them. I don’t publish or write erotic romance. However, in saying that, I have written two erotic romance novels, but they will never  see the light of day because it would go against my branding now.

  Plain and simply, I just don’t want to write erotic romance, but you can.  🙂

  

  However, I’ve considered writing without open door scenes and maybe one day I will begin a new series where the doors close at the last minute. UPDATE: THIS DAY HAS COME. MY MORE CURRENT BOOKS KEEP THE DOOR AJAR AND MOST TIMES CLOSED. THIS IS RIGHT FOR ME NOW. I hope you find it right for you too.

  How about you, authors? How did you interpret today’s topic? Am I wrong by choosing to discuss open/ closed door sex scenes?

  Readers? What do you prefer?

  Enjoy your weekend.

• #AmWriting ~Western Romance Teaser~ Lassoing the Last Dance

  Posted at 5:19 pm by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on April 26, 2017

  It’s been a hectic week but I still have to work. Here’s a little teaser for y’all. Roxanne  has strolled down to the barn with Trista Rose, a toddler and runs into Tristan, and eventually Randy. Do you remember Nora and Tristan from earlier in the series? Nora is Roxanne’s best friend. This excerpt is slightly modified from the original.

  

  ---

  “How you doing, Tristan?” Roxanne smiled to think of Nora with this handsome, good-natured cowboy, and she couldn’t help but smile at him.

  “Pretty good,” said Tristan. “Nora said you might want to ride. How about taking Betsy? You’ve ridden her before. She’s good to go.”

  “Sweet!” Roxanne had an attachment for this horse from the earlier times she had visited and rode with Nora. “I’d love to ride her.” Roxanne put her hand on his arm. “I appreciate you and Nora so much. Thank you.”

  “I’ll saddle her for you—”

  “No, I need to do it myself. If I’m going to start living… Well, you know what I mean. It’s something I have to do, Tristan.”

  “All righty, if you’re sure. Remember, the mounting block is right outside the barn if you need it.” Tristan wiggled his daughter’s hand. “Tell Roxanne you’ll see her later.”

  “Bye!” She waved like a little child actress.

  “I love you, Trista Rose. See you later. Tristan, tell Nora you have her now?” Tristan nodded. “I’ll text her.” She entered Betsy’s stall. “How you doing, girl? Ready for some fun? I’ll be right back.”

  Inside the tack room, she eyed the saddles, bridles, and blankets. Hmm, maybe she should’ve let Tristan put it on for her. Setting that old sissy idea aside, she gathered the blanket and placed it on the post near Betsy. “Hold on.” Running her hand over her long, black mane, she left for the tack room again. While reaching for a saddle, hands clenched her shoulders, and slid down her arms to entwine their fingers. She was bathed in heat as the weight of his strong body pressed against her. “Mmm…”

  “Let me do it for you this time, darlin’.”

  His hot body remained against her and his lips went to her neck. For sure, she wouldn’t mind having him right here in the tack room, if there were a guarantee Tristan’s ranch hands wouldn’t walk in. Her heart went thumpity, thump, and if she had doubted sweating earlier, now it was obvious. She leaned her head against him and squeezed his hands. The fact he cozied up like this excited her. “Hi, Randy. I saw you busy out there.”

  The scent of him wafted through her nostrils, and whatever it was in his makeup, it sucked the sense out of her. Her heart almost matched the cadence of his beating against her back. She turned in his arms and their lips immediately connected in a sensuous rage. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and gave the kiss everything it deserved. Roxanne wanted more when it came to an end. She peered up into lustful eyes. “What a nice surprise.”

  “Yeah, imagine that.” Randy glanced around the tack room, then rested his gaze on the opened door. “How bad do you want to ride?”

  “Oh, very, very badly, cowboy. You have no idea.”

  “I’m talking about Betsy. What are you talking about?”

  End of Excerpt

  ---

  Whew! I feel the same way about Randy…

  This might be the longest excerpt I’ve ever posted. If you got through the whole thing, thanks for reading. It could’ve been longer, but I deleted some at the beginning. Twice.

• Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse: Who Do You Trust?

  Posted at 10:53 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on March 8, 2016

  Trust yourself?

  If you don’t, who will? Sounds easy to see two little words scribbled out on a banner, huh? It is easier to say than to do. For many human beings, trust is only a word. The phrase “Trust Yourself” has a deeper meaning.

  

  To trust myself? How do I prove trust to myself? If you could see the inside of my mind and body when I prepare to put my written words–a novel–out into the public, those words disappear from my vocabulary…momentarily. Okay, in truth, for many minutes, hours, days… They are replaced with the word Fear.

  

  In reality, I need to have an inner trust knowing that every day I’m exposed to the public–the world, which is exactly what I’m doing this minute. But, as I said above, if I don’t who will? It doesn’t take much for that trust within myself to waver, but when writing chose me to spill out those ideas my muse throws at me, I force myself to shove fear/panic aside so I can trust myself. Trust yourself. Right. Easier said than done. Trust yourself anyway.

  Am I proud of admitting how “fear” can take over sometimes and blur that inner trust? No, of course not, but I’m only human. Am I the only one with that panic button lurking inside when it comes to exposing oneself?

• Short Snippet Saturday: Euphoric

  Posted at 11:29 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on February 20, 2016

  

  Do you love that word “euphoric or euphoria?” Mmm, I do. It conjures up all kinds of images for sensual, romantic love. I present to you Saturday’s short snippet. Today, I mean it when I say “short snippet,” but it’s sweet. 🙂 Maybe it’s a little mushy but I’ve been accused of that before. What’s wrong with a cowboy in love?

  Related to euphoria from Merriam-Webster (Synonyms) cloud nine, elatedness, elation, ecstasy, exhilaration, heaven, high, intoxication, paradise, rapture, rhapsody, seventh heaven, swoon, transport

  Y’all have met my bull rider before. Trust me, there is nothing mushy about him, but one thing can turn him to mush. His heroine.

  Italian class meets Bull Rider rowdy. Sparks will fly in the Bull Rider Series Books. Book Three is coming in 2016. More sparks!

  Enjoy the graphic.

  

  I set up a page for book three. Yes, it has a title now! It has for a while, but I kept it secret until I leaked it to my Mailing List.

  Enjoy your weekend.

• Short Snippet Saturday: Dane

  Posted at 12:12 pm by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on October 17, 2015

  Here we are! Another weekend. College football weekend in my neck of the woods. Two of our big rival colleges are playing each other and this should be good. Tailgating will be cold. This was the first day with frost on the car windows. My cousin in the upper part of the state had three inches of snow. EKK!

  Enough blabbering. Today is also Saturday so you know what that means. Yes, you got it! While doing my Wednesday thing on Twitter this week, I came across a snippet for today in my newest release, an Amazon #1 Best Seller: Of the Cowboy’s Own Accord.

  From the Double Dutch Ranch Series: Love at First Sight, a #Western #Romance series with gentlemen #Cowboys (with a touch of bad) and the heroines who know how to handle them.)

  Dane is my military cowboy, and the youngest Carlson brother. He’s home on leave and not necessarily by choice:

  Dane woke with a start and sat up in bed. His heart pounded when he didn’t have a gun. One deep breath led to another. Normal breathing didn’t come easy. Normal? What is normal? No gun. No Army. Not a damn thing was normal. His throat clenched as he tried to swallow while his gut twisted.

  A warm hand touched his back. Closing his eyes again, he remembered where he was…at her place. Safe. “I’m sorry to wake you,” he whispered in the dark. His arm draped over a bent knee. Think a minute. Breathe.

  “Did you have a nightmare?” She sat up and wrapped her arm around his shoulder. “Don’t be sorry. I’ve read about PTSD.”

  That word made him cringe. “I don’t have PTSD. Not a nightmare. I just woke up. Please don’t mention that again. It’s a habit… Wake up to check surroundings.”

  “All right, but you’re safe here.” She laid her head against his shoulder and smoothed her hand over his arm.

  Dane pressed his head against hers. “The nights might get worse,” he said, hesitating before going on. “Especially when there are nightmares…” 

  More about this book can be found HERE.

  Side note:

  

   

  (You might also remember the struggle I had naming this book.)

  Two or more new books are coming in 2016. If interested in being notified of new releases or important book updates, my mailing list can be found here. Thank you in advance. 🙂

  Have a fantastic weekend. GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!

• Heartbreak’s Reward Deleted Scene Teaser

  Posted at 5:06 pm by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on September 6, 2014

  It’s only days away until the release of Heartbreak’s Reward. RELEASED and available.

  I thought I’d come in with a teaser. You won’t find this in the book though. This is a deleted scene. My own heart bleeds for this heartbroken cowboy. If you’ve read Cowboy Boss, you know the details that led up to this. Otherwise, it’s self-explanatory. This book can be read on its own.

  <>

  Jase Carlson rolled in with the empty horse trailer at 2:30 a.m., unhooked it, and took a stroll through the barn to check on the horses, maybe hand out a cookie or two. Before exiting, he patted his horse then gave him a cookie. He dragged himself into the house, tired, worn out, driving longer than he should have. Dropping into a chair at the table in the kitchen, he removed his dusty boots. He grabbed a beer, and set it on the table in the living room to regroup for a few minutes before going to bed.

  He went down the hall to kiss his kids goodnight. Turning the knob, he slowly opened the door to Joey’s bedroom. “What the hell?” He flipped the light on then ran down the hall to Jaelle’s room. Everything was gone. “She took my kids!” He burst through his bedroom door. Rebecca’s closet was empty. He pulled open dresser drawers. Nothing.

  Venturing through the rest of the house, the only things gone were the kid’s toy boxes and their bedroom furnishings, some items from the bathroom, food from the cupboards. He opened the door to the back—her car sat there. “She didn’t take her damn car?” He stumbled back against the wall. What hell did they go through when she took them? What did she tell them?

  Jase grabbed hold of his head with both hands. “Dammit!” He slammed his palms against the hallway wall to hold up his quivering body, lowering his head and pushing in and out, torn to bits in an instant. Sonofabitch! No… He backed into the opposite wall and dropped to the floor, his face going into his hands. My angel’s gone. My boy…

  After he quit shaking, he dialed his brother’s phone. “My kids are gone. She took them, Tristan.” And he hung up.

• Describe It To Me ~ MFRW Book Hooks ~ Heartbreak’s Reward Bk #2

  Posted at 12:35 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on September 3, 2014

   Join me for another week of #MFRWHooks and another sneak peek at Heartbreak’s Reward Bk #2

   I admit it. I’m here to entice you. To interest you. To HOOK you.

  Please visit the other participants at the LINKS below. Thanks so much!

  Book Hooks is a weekly meme hosted by Marketing for Romance Writers as part of the MFRW Authors Blog. 

  

  What is this book about? Oh, I’m so glad you asked…

  Jase made his first appearance in Cowboy Boss and his Destiny. He’s the oldest brother at the Double Dutch Ranch, and he has a story to tell.

  • Tagline: Sometimes a wrong turn takes you to the right place.

  Rancher Jase Carlson doesn’t understand the ache in the hollow of his chest, since his ex-wife ripped his heart out. She doesn’t follow the court rules where his children are concerned, making him even more pissed off. Harboring a bad attitude, he wishes he wasn’t a gentleman when he comes to the aid of a hot-headed, sexy blonde. He can’t allow her tight jeans and sweet smile to sway him, even after he’s coerced into spending time alone with her. If only he can remember that when he holds her in his arms.

  Brenna Page has too many of her own issues to deal with at the moment. Not to mention being guardian to her rebellious sixteen-year-old sister, and both of them are living with painful memories. The last thing she needs is a grudge-filled cowboy interfering in her life, but his intense blue eyes and muscles-to-die-for, say something she’s never heard before.

  • Set-up: Brenna and Jase have a few extra minutes before her sister returns. 

  Brenna nodded and went into the room ahead of him. This time his bed was made and the room was bright. Jase removed his boots and crawled into the middle of his bed, holding his arms open. She kicked her shoes off and lay beside him.

  He pulled her close, tight up against his body and held her. She relaxed in his arms, yet, a part of her wanted to draw away. At least the shuddering was only on the inside. “You’re amazing, Jase…your touch, smell, everything about you. I can’t wait to know all about you.”

  “Baby, you can’t wait? Come inside my body and see the torturous battle going on.”

  “Mmm, I’ve fallen so hard for you.” She slipped her arm around his waist. “Please explain how this happened.”

  “I wish I could.” He nuzzled his face against her hair. “Let me hold you and dream.”

  Brenna whispered, “I want to be in your dream, doing things I’ve only imagined.”

  “You’re in it. It’s all about you.” Jase lowered his voice. “It’s you and me making love in my dream. Join me for now in the dream world. See it in your mind’s eye first.”

  She cuddled closer. “Describe it to me.”

• Heartbreak’s Reward~ MFRW Book Hooks ~ Alone With Him?

  Posted at 12:39 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on August 27, 2014

  Today I bring you a short “hook” from my upcoming release Heartbreak’s Reward, Book Two in the Double Dutch Ranch: Love at First Sight series. Coming early September 2014.

  It’s Wednesday again!
  Welcome back for Book Hooks.
  This is a weekly meme hosted by Marketing for Romance Writers as part of the MFRW Authors Blog. 

  Don’t forget to visit participating authors listed below.

  #MFRWHooks #MFRWAuthors

  Come on. Take a chance. Get HOOKED on a new author.

  

  Tagline: Sometimes a wrong turn takes you to the right place.

  Setup: They haven’t known each other long. Jase invited Brenna for dinner. He hesitated to tell her where they’d be going…
  

  Excerpt:

  He placed his hand over her arm, playing two fingers over her skin. “Is it all right with you? I would have asked sooner, but I feared you’d say no.”

  “Um…um.” Oh, damn, now what? Alone with him under the stars. In front of that big Superstition?

  “Brenna?” He stretched over and stroked her chin, turning her face toward him. “You can trust me. I’ve had more than one chance to ravish you. I could right now, right here.”

  But what about trusting herself? Her insides tumbled like an offset dryer. “Okay,” she managed to get out. “I like homemade steak—especially the badass kind.” Her voice was higher than she recognized as her own. Was it fear? Kind of—but maybe not the kind of fear she had expected. He wasn’t the one she was afraid of. Her body’s reaction to him is what caused her fear.

  Sensual Contemporary Western Romance

  Coming Early September 2014

  What is this book about?

  Rancher Jase Carlson doesn’t understand the ache in the hollow of his chest, since his ex-wife ripped his heart out. She doesn’t follow the court rules where his children are concerned, making him even more pissed off. Harboring a bad attitude, he wishes he wasn’t a gentleman when he comes to the aid of a hot-headed, sexy blonde.

  One wrong turn. Two broken families. Brought together by chance…and need.

  SEVEN Paragraphs (Maybe Eight)

  Cowboy Boss and his Destiny

  This scene didn’t make the cut. I removed it in my final revision. Consider it a deleted scene.

  Set-up. Anticipation.
  

  Nora wrapped one arm around his neck, seeking his lovely mouth, caressing and moving her fingertips over him.

  “Mmmm, what are trying to do, baby?”

  “Distract you. How can we take the chance again?”

  “Do you think I’d let that go undone a second time?” He lifted her to the bed and reached into his jeans pocket.

  “Shh, listen,” said Nora. “Someone’s knocking…” She grabbed the blanket to cover herself.

  “Just a sec.” Tristan hurried into his Levi’s. “Who is it?”

  “Me,” said a tiny voice.

  “I’ll be right there.” Glancing at Nora, he pulled a t-shirt over his head, leaned down and kissed her. “I’ll be back.” He unlocked the door and went into the hallway to tend to his daughter’s needs.
