My teaser for this week is from Dark Predator by Christine Feehan:

“Coming back for more, eh?” Felix grinned at her. “I like a little fight in my girls.”   

She grinned at him, causing blood to dribble down her chin. “Then you’re going to love me.” The voice was hers, but deeper and throatier than she’d ever heard before. It was a dangerous voice, and even Felix paused at the sound of it.

I'm in love with the cover, I can't stop looking at it! The book is very entertaining so far, I still haven't finished it though. And I've got to say this book has my favorite love triangle, mainly because for once the triangle makes sense considering Finley's double personality.

My teaser for this week is from Diana Peterfreund's wonderful Rampant:

"I found the hum of his computer rather soothing, but it was the complete lack of unicorn carcasses that really pulled the room together. "

This book has giant killing UNICORNS! I thought the idea a little ridiculous at first, but the book soon had me convinced unicorns were evil poisonous SCARY monsters. A great read, I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel!

I've finally finished Thrice Born, my YA urban fantasy, and am now in the process of editing, otherwise known as Hell. Also, discovered my main character is as bland as... something very bland. What to do, oh, what to do? I'm thinking of taking a hatchet to her, but am open to suggestions :D

Anyway, enough about my woes. I thought, as a first post, I should post some articles on writing which have greatly helped me, back when I was a beginner. By which I mean six months ago.

I'm not a seat-of-the-pants writer, but I don't like outlining down to the details either. However, I found Randy Ingermanson's Snowflake Method great. Didn't use all the steps, but I loved the first steps.

Also, Holly Lisle Scene Creation Workshop .All of her workshops, really. She's great.

Forward Motion and its back issues of Vision, A Resource for Writers have great workshops and articles.

Darcy Pattison has some great articles about pretty much everything.

Anyway, those are just some of the articles that got me started on writing. There were some great books too,  but that's another story :D
