Hello readers,

This week’s question was, “ASK DONNA! Ask me about this particular post, my research, about writing, about anything you want.”

I loved all of these questions. Many of you appeared concerned for my mental health while writing about tough scenes. Trust me, I thrive on that sort of thing. Like Susan Peterson, who asked,
“How do you handle writing the hard parts? Do you have to take a break from writing a scene like that, or do you just keep moving forward?”

My response?

I’m a rubbernecker at heart. Slowing down to gawk at horrific highway scenes – not to say I’m not feeling HORRIBLE if someone is hurt or worse – but they draw my attention and curiosity. I want to know what happened. Who’s at fault, etc. It’s the same with movies, or series, or various shows that might have viewer warnings. I get irritated at the blurring out of the worst.

It’s much the same with writing. When I’m writing a scene that deals with something tough, I tend to speed right along. And yes, I sleep well. 

Lucky, lucky readers? Again, this week it’s a signed Advance Reader Copy of #WomenofaPromiscuousNature! These are not the “official” box of ARCs I typically get, so at the moment, are VERY limited! And the recipient of this week’s copy is LENORA PICOLET! 🎉🎉🎉
