WRITING TIP: GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO BE WILD AND CRAZY

By Hope Tarr



Save any angst for later--after the love/sex scene is written. For now, turn off your internal editor to get the first scene draft done. I always give myself permission to be as wild and crazy, outlandish and 'out there' as I like on a first draft. Revisions are time enough to consider your target audience, the 'heat level' of the imprint or line, and beyond all, what you feel comfortable assigning your name to.
