Eureka! Finding the Voice - Update
Jul. 18th, 2011 08:01 amGreetings fans!
Welcome to Taboos and perversions and um, I'm really excited about my revelation this week.
Wow, took me forever to discover it.
*bangs head on a desk*
Anyway, having 3 pseudonyms its hard to keep up with voices or styles. I'll be blogging about this somewhere this week. Forgive me, I did 6 yesterday so I cannot recall which one it went to. 0.o
Just keep up with me on Literary Triad or Twitter and you'll see.
anyways, yeah so, as me and the Wicked gal were working on You Don't Ask i figured out what all 3 of them like to write as well as their voices.
Do you recall a post I did sometime ago about splitting them up as far as genre?
Well, just throw that out. Its one of the fab things about being a writer is you discover more about yourself and your craft and since I have 3 personalities, I need to find the correct styles for all 3.
Now, Michael first - Michael is my gay man, loves doing stories about manlove right? As do the others. However, my gay man will only do tales where the men are already comfortable being gay. they are looking for that special someone and well the voice? Michael is eloquent, long winded, has a dry sense of humor.
Rawiya Also loves gay male fiction/romance will do MMF, hetero as well. She is my more sensual voice, might spend a bit more time with the characters in the bedroom. The way she speaks is more romance novel like. I discovered this while writing her most recent stories, lessons in Ink and the new subcall story Perfect Day. Rawiya also like stories where the men in her tales are still unsure and part of their tension is finally discovering themselves and how much they love one another. She loves that struggle
BL she does everything with humor as you know. She'll also tackle anything, more so than Rawiya. Her voice is a lot more of the wham bam type. Some rough sex with bondage or control element. Some sensuality but more of the extreme goes into the types she writes.
Now, all will use the styles if the characters and or story ask for it. For example, in A Second Chance by MM, his character Daniel Declerc is a smart ass.More of a BL character but it fit the tone of the story and brought it to life.
In AS, Michael gets more sensual for his love scenes, using Rawiyas style because it is an erotica romance.
Get it?
LOL I know, its hilarious but I feel this is what will help me when I submit as well as what subcalls or storylines appeal to me. Now I truly know which one will write what but there will always be a little bit of all in each one if necessary.

UPDATE
Oh yeah, recall the order of priority I put up last week. *throws paper behind back* Scrap that
Here is the one that should stick!
You Dont Ask/BL - 20K in, EEK almost done. Should be done today and will be in edits the rest of the wk b4 it goes to the publisher I have written 12k on this story since last Tuesday
Lessons in Ink/Rawiya - Next to be finished. 2 more parts to write then edits
Trois/Rawiya Real close but I have changes to make. so I'm making this 3rd
True Meaning 2/MM Not nearly done but I feel I should get it done by mid august
Taming Wild Horses/MM About 10k in.
Sugar Daddy/Rawiya Just sent the Synopsis for this to my publisher. One of them anyway. We'll see if she'll like the idea
Closely Guarded/MM You recall this was supposed to be for a call. Wont wk! I wont make it. More writing to be done and I need to really focus on this one.
AS/MM 30k in. I see it at halfway. I havent worked in it in a while. I do plan to get back to it this week.
Mi Familia/MM 20k in. I do see this close to halfway done. I wk on this weekly since its followed on my blog and on Gaydemon and Literotica
Alrighty then...so...there you have it! I have also figured I wont be doing this again. To keep the voices st8, I just cant have this much going on at once. If I have 3 MM stories, meaning Michael going on, I really cant work on the others effectively.
Thanks for listening to my rambles!
