It’s August and I’m going to a music festival on an island. No fancy post this week, but here’s a compilation of Romance Writer Problems so you can snicker over the words of some funny people and, who knows, check out their books if you need something to read for your own vacation–or staycation…
This time we’re looking at the Romance Writer Problem of “Everything is Dirty.” Do we write smutty stories because we have smutty thoughts? Or do we have smutty thoughts because we write smutty stories? Chicken or egg, romance authors see potential sexy stories wherever they go.
