novella Archives - Reese Ryan Romance

Keeping today’s post sweet and simple. The novella is coming along nicely, thanks in large part to the fact that I planned most of the scenes out in advance.

Note to self: ALWAYS PLOT THE STORY OUT IN ADVANCE.

The encouragement and camaraderie of my local Romance Writers of America chapter has also been a huge part of my constant productivity this month. Incorporating yoga into my routine several times a week has also been quite helpful. I especially enjoy the energizing morning sequences. I just discovered a new one today, posted below.

Now the question is, will this story end up anywhere close to the 20,000 words I’d planned originally, or will it be closer to 40,000 words? We’ll see. But I’m betting on 30-40K at this point.

I can’t wait to reveal the cover and book title to my VIP Readers next month. 🙂

Meanwhile, I’ll keep chugging along on this story while the plot and scenes for Book #2 in the series begin to materialize. My goal is to finish writing the first draft of the novella by October 1st. So there will be lots of energizing morning yoga routines in my future.

Namaste,

Happy Friday!

For those of us in the U.S., we’ve spent the day rushing to get last minute tasks finished in anticipation of the long, Labor Day Weekend holiday ahead. For me it’s been a busy week, including finally getting the novella I told you about last week plotted. Tomorrow, before I indulge in the usual Labor Day Weekend festivities (i.e. eating) I will begin writing my novella.

I am so excited about this story, which will be delivered to the inboxes of my VIP Readers beginning Friday, November 6th. Doing my happy dance, and it’s awesome.

Seriously.

This story will be the prequel to my Playing with Bad Boys series and it features two characters whose story is an integral part of the history and outlook of the hero in the first book in the series, Playing It Safe, which will be released on my birthday, March 1, 2016. The serial story will be free to my VIP Readers and will run for twelve weeks, leading up to Valentine’s Day weekend, when the novella will go on sale and be available to everyone.

Wanna be the first to read the story for free? Be sure to join my VIP Readers list today.

I’ve got another surprise for my VIP Readers. Starting November 6th, they’ll have access to my VIP Lounge, where I’ll share exclusive goodies. Don’t miss out!

Have a safe and wonderful weekend!
