Colonel Mustard… in the Kitchen… with a Candlestick
I can’t help it. I must post this for all my procrastinating writer friends who might have, in a very dark period of their lives, read a few thousand Regency romances. (Unlike me, Heavens forfend! I only ever read the classics in their original languages, no matter how much angst or ennui I suffered as a teen. Okay, maybe even as a thirty-something.)
So, go to It Happened One Season, make up your mad lib-style Regency romance plot points, and let me know if you entered so I can vote for yours if it makes the finals.
Or post your idea here, so the teeming hordes of romance writers who visit this blog can steal your ideas and make millions from them. Whatever.
(You DO know that I’m working on a never-to-be-finished-or-shown-to-anyone shapeshifter romance between ACTUAL WIPs, don’t you? Email me, and I will send you scenes from “a love too dangerous to be published”…)
Have fun writing, Peeps! I’m finishing one of the WIPs this week. Woo Hoo! And then the Betas will feast.

I thought it was the nanny in the garden with the pool boy. Oh, wait, wrong game… man, now I have to go to that link and waste more time this morning, time I would never have wasted, if not for your bad influence, Nikki. You suckered me in with the title of this post. Once again, your evilness is all too apparent. 🙂

You are writing a romance between WIPs? How do you find the time? I’ll e-mail this link to the romance author in my critique group who is writing a middle grade. I wonder if there is some hidden connection between these genres because I just met a romance author at an SCBWI event who had recently pubbed a MG. Hmm. P.S. I am having FUN writing again. Finally.
