Character musings; writings in progress
Posted by Denise Kendrick under: My Brother's Keeper; writing.
Dex did something very nice for Malik last night. I was quite in love with him for a moment, and I thought to myself, “This story might actually work!”
RD and I have been turning a short story set in the future of the My Brother’s Keeper universe, Ciaran’s Gift, into a novel. When we first […]

Pink Present for Puppy
Posted by rdsolange under: Things We Like; writing.
You can’t seem me but I’m smiling THIS BIG right now.
Denise and I submitted a short story to this amazing website called “The Pink Chair Diaries” and they put it up today!
This story stars two of our long time favorite characters, brothers Tristan and Kane, who have a long drawn out story coming […]

I know it’s hard, but try following my train of thought
Posted by rdsolange under: My Brother's Keeper; Triangulations; writing.
Denise and I have a lot of books in progress. This is both a delight - as there is never a lack of places and characters to work on. And a despair - as we don’t necessarily want to start working on something new with so many other things still in pieces.
Denise is someone who […]

Writing sex for Skylar
Posted by Denise Kendrick under: writing.
Thinking about sex in an alternate future… condoms or no condoms?
Then I’m thinking no condoms because the safety of sex is not relevant to the story.
So then I’m thinking…degrees of realism in post-sex clean up? And with that come the memories of where I have, and have not, seen clean up written. Then I recall […]

Fun with gender
Posted by Denise Kendrick under: Ash Trey and the Aether Sprite; writing.
Gender confuses the heck out of me. I don’t give it a lot of thought, I generally just go by feel, but sometimes I wonder.
For instance, take that beautiful stereotypical yaoi bishie with the long flowing hair and the even longer jacket, for which the bottom is so flared it might as well be a […]

Radio Show about the Creative Process
Posted by Denise Kendrick under: Things We Like; writing.
I listened to this interesting radio show/podcast the other day on creativity and overcoming resistance.
It was in the archives at Hay House Radio, here. I believe you need an account to access it, but accounts are free.
The show is called You Can Have What You Want with Michael Neill. This is the blurb […]

yaoi inspired musings
Posted by Denise Kendrick under: writing.
I know this page has been around for a bit, but it’s so great That Japanese BL Scene Page.
I was reading the author’s comments with delight last night and thinking about the story I’m currently working on. I wanted a story that would definitely fit in the “yaoi” category, mostly for kicks. I was busy […]

Busy day
Posted by rdsolange under: life or something like it; writing.
Today started at six am when I pulled open the edits for our next book to be released, Triangulations.
Half way through the day I took a bath to see if I could relax a little and was struck by inspiration on a story we’ve been struggling with. I managed to get eight pages of that […]

When you get down to it.
Posted by rdsolange under: Things We Like; writing.
Really, when you think about it, pretty much the best book in the world is simply:
Boys meet. Boys fall in love. Boys have sex and it’s neat. The end.
I’d buy it.

The trouble with names
Posted by rdsolange under: writing.
Denise and I struggle over names.
It’s true! We agonize over the right names for our characters. W also get rather fond of a name and decide we want to use it always - in several different stories.
For instance, Dex. We love Dex. We might love him a bit more than we should. We’ve used […]
