Summer Time Blues

Summer vacation is about over. In a matter of a few days it will be like it was never here, but I have some pleasant memories to keep me reminded of the hot summer nights, full moons, starry skies, and late nights of writing romance. One story is completed and nearly through it's second editing. Summer seems so short in Michigan. Winter is so long, blah! We complain about hot days and muggy nights, and with reason, but when it starts to fade into fall, it feels sad. Life changes in many ways. Coats come out of closets, windows get frosted, the shovel comes out, and we have to make sure the window scraper is in the car. But, for now, I choose to remain in summer mode.

Labor Day will soon be here and I have to return to work.   No more late nights and sleeping in. P.J.'s are traded for work attire. Writing for hours will turn to writing when I can get it in. (Although I am going to force myself to get a writing schedule.)

My writing plan is to finish editing my holiday themed story and submit it. My other erotic romance is still waiting and I'm telling you my characters in that story are getting stir crazy. After that I have a few other things to work on, ideas to put together, and see where I can go from there. Plus, I'm still doing some writing under my other name. I have a feeling more and more stories will be written by Jade.

This is enough updates for now. Last night was a very late night and an early morning and my eyes are telling me how tired they are. Please visit my website at Jade Rose Madison, Erotic Romance Powered by Hot Heroes and Sexy Heroines.

Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Heated Love Scenes in the Summer

Jade Rose Madison The blog has nothing on it at this point to make it adult rated, so even though the title says Erotic Love Stories, it is safe to read anything on this blog right now. When that changes, this blog will be labeled adult only, but for now it is safe to read for anyone.

Summer heat is nearly upon us.  Living in the city in the summer can be scorching!  There are not that many tress for shade either.  Finding a cool spot can be impossible, and when I'm writing my heated love scenes, I definitely want to be cool.   A nice glass of cold, ice cube filled lemonade hits the spot, and it helps to sip between scenes.  You know, just to cool me down a bit.  I enjoy sitting in a park and writing with my laptop.  This summer I am going to sit at the beach and write.  Maybe I'll have some new inspirations!  

I love writing hot love scenes.  Someone asked me yesterday where I get my ideas, and then asked if it's from things I have done, or want to do.  Neither is true.  The ideas just come from within.  I have tried to explain many times that writers have all these ideas tucked away and they come out when we need them, hopefully.  Speaking for myself, I have no idea where this stuff comes from.  I've heard other writers say the same thing.  Lots of ideas come from just living life, that part is true, but because I write about a character's fantasies it doesn't mean it's my fantasy, all the time.  *blushing*  Okay, maybe sometimes it is. 

I'm working on my holiday story now, and it's near completion in the first draft. Once at the end, I can go back and revise.  I like to write what is on my mind and then I can delete or expand later.  I love this story, mainly because it takes place in San Francisco and that's my favorite city anyway.  It's easy to describe the places I've seen and the emotions or thoughts that go along with it.  When finished, I will submit to an ePublisher.  Time is running out for meeting holiday deadlines.  So, I have to get busy and finish, which I plan on doing today, if I can find a nice cool place to finish the most important love scene in the whole book!
