Entertains me, motivates me, and moves me. You've got this whole vixen shrouded in innocence vibe working in your characters and I love it! They have dimension, they have flaws, the men can be alpha yet still vulnerable...ugh I'm gushing again aren't I?"<br /><br />Hey, I gave you the green light to go for it whenever the mood struck you. lol Also, I was just talking to a writerly friend about how women are made to be "lady-like." Having a sex sex drive that is anything like a man's is looked down on. So to a certain extent I do find it a bit ironic that I tend to write heroines who are either reticent to bed the hero or trying to talk him into it first. lol <br /><br />So, the moral of the story is I miss WRITING. That I always come back to. No matter the circumstance. It's the editing, revising and publishing that I need to be talked into. <br /><br />"You have a talent/gift that's uniquely your own, so keep at it Mel Blue. Look I've even taken the opportunity to personally nickname you...(creepy)Lol..."<br /><br />Well, it wasn't creepy because most folks call me Mel anyway. lol But, I'll give you the *side-eye* Ok. That's done. Off to write. lol (You see I said write, not revise. Settle in for a wait. I know! But give a girl time.)Melissa Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04575640016746601582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22799621.post-36503791139782042892013-06-05T12:08:21.416-07:002013-06-05T12:08:21.416-07:00Girll....Girlll...Girlllll...*shaking my head* *ha...Girll....Girlll...Girlllll...*shaking my head* *hand on hip* I so feel you. <br /><br />Seeking inspiration, I have read...216 books off of Kindle in the last - hmm ummm since November- so thats what 8 months? I average a book a night. So when I say I can relate to the don't want to write, don't want to revise, don't want to edit feelings - TRUST ME - I can relate. I have immersed (hidden?) myself in books - including yours!<br /><br />And with that said, your site (oh, and Delaney Diamond's) is the only one that I frequent to gush. <br /><br />What can I say, I'm not easily swayed...your writing sways me. Entertains me, motivates me, and moves me. You've got this whole vixen shrouded in innocence vibe working in your characters and I love it! They have dimension, they have flaws, the men can be alpha yet still vulnerable...ugh I'm gushing again aren't I?<br /><br />I'm backing off...but If my comment any way lifted your spirits I am happy for it, because I sincerely enjoy your works and wanted you to know your books and shorts are appreciated. <br /><br />You have a talent/gift that's uniquely your own, so keep at it Mel Blue. Look I've even taken the opportunity to personally nickname you...(creepy)Lol...<br /><br />Now get to revising girl, my Kindle awaits book number 217!SOAPsDISH Author In Obscurityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337067476078617921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22799621.post-76680013028920105122013-06-05T07:51:07.150-07:002013-06-05T07:51:07.150-07:00You, my dear, have impeccable timing. The last few...You, my dear, have impeccable timing. The last few weeks have been a bit tough for me. So much so I haven't wanted to write, edit or revise or do anything writing related. I've pretty much threw up my hands and decided I was going to read every book in my Kindle and if I still didn't feel like writing, editing or revising or anything related, I'd get started on my physical book collection. Mind you, I have a gazillion books. Was on my 6th book in two days...And the only reason I posted this is because I've set up some promotion and needed a link for an excerpt pronto. <br /><br />Yeah, I know soooo emo, right?<br /><br />My point, thank you. Just thank you. I'm happy you enjoyed Bad Boy Next Door. Currently reading Halfway to the Grave (OMG so good), but I'm thinking I won't read everything on my Kindle. I'm getting that itch between my shoulder blades to write, well, finish revising Double Trouble.<br /><br />So, whenever you feel the need to gush... :)Melissa Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04575640016746601582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22799621.post-30171241068232280892013-06-05T06:54:35.380-07:002013-06-05T06:54:35.380-07:00Hey Mel Blue...
I feel like gushing again...I'...Hey Mel Blue...<br /><br />I feel like gushing again...I'ma try to rein myself in, but...<br /><br />I really REALLY love your voice. Books are just words but the way you string them together - I SWEAR- envelopes me every time. I'm feeling the characters emotions, the angst, THE LUST, the doubt, the insecurities. I hate reading a book and watching a character make a dumb move and then being PISSED off about it because I saw no motivation or thought behind the action - yet with your characters - stupid moves and all I'm engaged. I sympathize, I laugh, I'm rooting for "someone" to make the next move (bad decision or not) again- I JUST LOVE YOUR VOICE. The characters internal conversations - often hilarious- like guffaw out loud worthy but poignant. Said I wasn't going to gush, huh? Oh well. <br /><br />Suffice to say, I enjoyed this short Bad Boy Next Door...cant wait for the last book in the trilogy (like seriously cant wait would you hurry it up already- between you and waiting on Maureen Smith to drop her latest Im about to have a 2 year old temper tantrum type fit - I digress). <br /><br />Keep 'em coming. Keep 'em coming...But yeah like FASTER...Please?!SOAPsDISH Author In Obscurityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337067476078617921noreply@blogger.com
