I saw one of your A/N where you said you watched a video of voices fighting to write it realistically. I really appreciate that. Too many people don't research even the simplest thing ( blood type C, really?).
I enjoyed Riley, and expect to enjoy your next book also. I have plenty of story ideas myself...fleshing them out is far harder. Even if I have a general idea of how things should play out, it can be hard finding all the pieces I want to include. The easiest part can be the first chapter or so, and perhaps a theme.
There are lots of werewolf stories about abuse, but I haven't yet done the research I need on some of that. Some of my stories need informed details about therapy, stages of recovery....
How else can I write realistically about a young Luna rescued from horror and needing a therapist...? Psych majors or trained psychologists who don't think the supernatural is all in her head may be hard to come by. If the only one available was of a race she now had a serious phobia about....
Another story demands that I learn not just why women stay in abusive relationships, but - perhaps more importantly - why some decide to leave.
Self-centered studs are easier to describe than the process of growing out of it fast when brutal consequences hit a guy in the face. Recognising he did/was wrong is not the same as opening his worldview to embrace other viewpoints and the value of people he had dismissed as beneath him.
The status concious cliques are sort of like racism, aren't they? Being anti- toward members of a group simply because you were taught not to like the group is the same, isn't it?
Getting to know an individual(s) can change your opinion of them....and of the group. What sorts of personal experiences have the most impact?
I have lots of story ideas, and want to have something finished and in the bag before I start posting any chapters. A hard part is deciding what to finish, or finish first.
