The Diva Challenge
I told you all I finished that Romance Divas ebook challenge. I managed to bang out 1800 words on a very short scene called "The Ties That Bind". I was talking on the phone with fellow author Crystal Jordan and I asked her how different my voice was in this piece.
"Ties" is written in my pen name and it's erotic romance. I wondered if my style changed very much when I write in the erotic genre. It was a little hard for her to tell, since she knew it was me. I'm still wondering. I notice my mood changes when I write an erotic romance in comparison to when I write romantic suspense.
I know when I've read an author's work that spans several romance genres (Sara Dennis for example. "Fortune's Fool" vs. "Dragon Undone") that I can tell it's their writing by the style. But does the same hold true for me? Sara's romances were both "sensual" romances, not erotic. The heat level is the same. Does it change when the heat levels are significantly opposite?
Well, you'll all be able to make that decision. I'll be writing something in my Jennifer McKenzie name as well, so you can let me know if it still seems like "me". What about you? Do you notice a change depending on what genre you are writing? Is writing like music? Are there "moods"? For myself, I notice I can't write "funny" to save my life. I leave that stuff to Shelli Stevens and Tawny Taylor.
What do you think?
(Like the picture? It's a hint about "Ties". LOL)
