I am a pantser - read my stories

When you are reading a book, you will wonder how the story develops. Did the author know from the start how the story will look alike?

Two types of authors who writing stories:

Plotters - they know how the will story looks from the start to the end

Pantsers - they are spontaneous and have ideas, but they don't know how will story develop and what will be the end

I am the second type. Writing a new book for next year, I have 6.500 words and shaped characters, but I don't know many things. I don't know the end, what will be the plot, or whether will there be new characters and surprises are possible.

I am walking on the street and suddenly new ideas come to my mind, and then I am writing a draft, a reminder of what I will write next.

It happens I am deleting some sentences when I see a logical error, and some things are not matching. Sometimes I am in a trap, there is a void in my story. When the bulb turns on, I know how to get out of it.

All my books are written in this way.

What is common to my stories:

I love stories on a real basis. I don't have fairies, vampires, or monsters.

I love erotic scenes. It gave passion to the book.

I love adrenaline. The slow-burning story is not for me.

My characters are women with strong attitudes, villains, and people from the margins of society.

My place of action is usually an exotic location.

Someone dies. I focus on motives, to justify the death of my character.

A fatal woman keeps the story dynamic. The seductress, rebellious woman, black sheep.

Social media: how to react to negative comments?

The virtual world became a platform where people expose their frustrations. If you post something positive, you will not get reaction. Ignorance is mostly present when you express your happiness. If you post something that irritates people, you will get negative reactions. Many young users use internet to write negative comments, put dislikes and troll others. We are witnesses to young generation who is angry, passive and without a purpose. You Tube opted out dislikes for public. You can see in your private statistic a number of dislikes. Some people have a bad humor and don't have a clue how their reaction can hurt others. You will tell me this is a freedom of speech and free choice, but also as an owner of my profiles in social media I have right to restrict negative comments. I am against censoring and dictatorship and every critic is welcome, but I don't tolerate rude and abusive behavior. Besides, if someone leave a negative, rude comment, that gives an ugly example to ot
