Coming Undone
Harlequin Blaze
April 2007
"[Tyler's] straight forward, dead-on writing style invites us to get hot and happy and bowled over by love right along with Carly and Hunt. Which makes being there when they do come undone one of the best things about the novel — next to just how great a romance it is."

“On a similar note, while you're free to think whatever you like about my life and death, if you think I wasted my life, I'll tell you you're wrong. We're all going to die of something. I died doing a job I loved. When your time comes, I hope you are as fortunate as I was.”

“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more.”

*snort* at tight writing but Yahoo on the progress!!!!!!!!! WTG Babe!

Internal conflict is so tough. I was writing a sex scene today and I kept having to intersperse the hero’s conflict in such a way that it was believable.
Right. Like any man is actually THINKING while he’s having sex.

Okay, good. You’ve solved your IC. Now could you get over here and solve mine? Please? I have boxes of girl scout cookies left and I promise to share.
July 5th, 2005 at 4:22 pm
Well rock on! Isn’t that a great feeling?! Too bad men are so stubborn and it took him so long to open up, but at least he finally did.
July 5th, 2005 at 5:29 pm
don’t you love it when things come to you like that? I had a major revelation about the heroine’s sister today…while driving the minivan schlepping the youngest around…:thumbsup:
July 5th, 2005 at 8:22 pm
WOO HOO on getting it solved! My characters are being pretty nice to each other right now — well, nice for them anyway — but the poopie’s about to hit the fan.
Enjoy that downhill slide!
July 5th, 2005 at 11:23 pm
Yaaaay on solving the IC problem! LOL about the tight writing. Turns out my sex scene has some tight writing just like that.
July 6th, 2005 at 4:09 pm
Okay, I have IC problems A LOT! My characters start out as antagonists, then end up being nice WAY TOO EARLY!!! It sort of spoils the whole plot, but I can’t seem to draw it out!
July 6th, 2005 at 4:55 pm
Yay! I love breakthroughs like that!! Hope to see you shouting “the end” very soon!
July 6th, 2005 at 6:18 pm
IC is one of my biggest issues. Ugh. Drives me nuts. So good for you for figuring yours out!!!
July 6th, 2005 at 7:45 pm
Hey Everyone!
Thanks Bonnie!
Cece - you don’t think tight writing like that would fly either, huh?
LMAO @ Michelle - cause it’s too true.
Jill - I’m on the way - especially if they’re Samoas. But could you make sure that the bears don’t greet me?
Hi Brenda!! All my alphas are SO damned stubborn…
Kacey - I guess it’s true that when you give the mind a rest to concentrate on other things, problems get solved.
Lynn - we’ve got to be MUCH meaner…
Amy - I say we try the tight writing technique…maybe you can pitch it at Reno…
Kellie - same here. I usually have to write it, show it to Katie (CP) or Larissa - they tell me I’m too nice. I think there’s no way I can possible change anything and then I finally go ahead and make them suffer. It happens every time. you’d think I’d learn…
Thanks Tori - I was so happy to finally get that IC, but even happier that I made my characters SUFFER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:shock:
