How to Handle Pressure: Writing Under Deadlines
This one is my hardest. I wrote Tears of Tess in 7 weeks. Now this wasn’t a few days a week, nope, it was 14 hours a day, dreaming about it, jotting notes while eating, and constantly immersed in my story world. My poor husband picked up all the slack and if wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have eaten and the house would’ve grown into a laundry jungle.
I set a quick deadline for Tears of Tess to see if I could do it. In hindsight I wished I hadn’t as those 7 weeks were extremely hard and I need a mental break more than I ever have before, however, it also gave me a huge sense of accomplishment.
My advice for writing under deadlines is to set realistic dates and stick to them. Don’t push them out. Announce your release date to fans so you HAVE to stick to it and make sure you book in editors and cover artists well in advance so you meet your self imposed dates. J

But lusty paradise is shattered.
Kidnapped. Drugged. Stolen. Tess is forced into a world full of darkness and terror.
Captive and alone with no savior, no lover, no faith, no future, Tess evolves from terrified girl to fierce fighter. But no matter her strength, it can’t save her from the horror of being sold.
