Happy 1st June everyone, and welcome to our Advice From The Stars: RITA 2015 month!
As we all start to gear up for summer, conference season (and So You Think You Can Write!) is getting ever closer. So, to keep that inspiration simmering away, we’ve invited Harlequin’s *fabulous* RITA 2015 nominated authors to contribute their #1 writing advice.
Kicking us off in style is the wonderful, twice-nominated Caro Carson!
Caro Carson’s 2015 RITA nominations in Contemporary Romance: Short are…
Despite a no-nonsense background as a West Point graduate and US Army officer, Caro Carson has always treasured the happily-ever-after of a good romance novel. Now Caro is delighted to be living her own happily-ever-after with her husband and two children in the great state of Florida, a location that has saved the coaster-loving theme-park fanatic a fortune on plane tickets.

Congratulations, Caro, on your RITA 2015 nominations! What a thrill to have you on “Advice from the Stars.”
Thanks for that “shot” of “yes”! Such good medicine.
Excellent advice.
Good luck!

I spent the entire shutdown working. Had no time to wind down. I didn’t see my son much when school shutdown. My one co worker was told to stay home for 3 weeks so I picked up her hours. This year has been really crappy.
Ugh, Janell. Here’s hoping the rest of your summer is better.
Thanks for the info, Carol! Everyone is different in how they deal with the shutdown! I stay at home all the time since I don’t work so I haven’t been too effected but my shopping and errands sure have been effected!
Valri, I’ve been doing most of my shopping online. My local Target is still low on some items – mostly cleaning supplies. Grocery store is pretty much back to normal. Most of the dining in our town is outdoor. I can’t imagine have school-age kids!
Wow–getting your creative process on track must have been daunting–especially with “extra-large dog” glad to have you home. You don’t like coffee–I love coffee and have enjoyed my fortifying 2 cups in the morning even more than usual! How as COVID affected your story lines and characterizations? Best Wishes for all releases!
Interesting question, Virginia. You’ll have to tell me if the tone of my “COVID” books changed any! LOL
Life has changed so much! My dad passed Feb 2. The assisted living facility my folks were at went into hardcore lockdown the beginning of March. Mom couldn’t leave her apartment for 4 months! She was on the third floor, Will be 89 in two months & doesn’t use the phone. My husband and I remodeled the lower level completely and moved her in with us July 1. What a life change and difficult transition for the 3 of us! But we’re working thru it!
