Seven Questions for Lexi Miles


The lovely Lexi Miles volunteered to be my first victim of the new year. Lexi's cheerful demeanor and positive attitude are a perfect way to get back into the writing frame of mind. So, without further ado, here are my #SevenQuestions for Lexi... 


Hi Gareth, I just want to say, I adored this opportunity to hang out with you for a bit. Thanks so much for having me over for a visit. Okay, I will jump right into answering.

1. Leather or lace?

I am a big fan of lace. Absolutely love to shop at Vicki’s Secret! (giggles)

2. If you weren't able to write, how would your creativity manifest itself?

Art, music, running a business, or acting. I totally dig those things!

3. One piece of advice for new writers?

Write the story you want to read.

4. Can you just sit down and write or do certain things like location, music, ambience, time of day, need to be right?

Yes, I can sit down and write pretty much anytime. But ideally, when I can swing it, I like an absolute quiet environment or to be lost in my headphones submersed in music when I do. Usually that is early morning or extremely late night. That music ranges from upbeat/sultry Kylie Minogue to classical/spa music. Just depends on the day and the tone of scene I am writing.

5. Sweet or sour?

I have to go with sweet. I have a definite sweet tooth. (giggles)

6. Which of your characters would you like to date?

This one is a tough one. I have to say that it is a tie between alarmingly handsome self-defense instructor Jimmy Jalin (Private Lessons) and crazy sexy lawyer Roger Collins (Convince Me). Between us, they are the same guy just a different version of him. In fact, all of my hot, strong, confident, and protective leading alpha gentlemen, even though sometimes traits are more evident, are versions of him. So I pretty much would date all of them. Do you see what I did there? (winks) But some of them, I will admit I might not want to date at the top of their stories, but by the end I think each one of them has turned into a dateable and wildly sexy prince. (giggles)

7. Favorite curse word?

Ha ha! They are like children. I love them all equally! *winks*

That was so fun Gareth! Thanks so much for having me stop in!

You're welcome, Lexi. Now...before everyone rushes off to the next blog, check out Lexi's links!!

    Great interview! And I definitely agree with Lexi's wise words - write the story you want to read. :-)

Selling your book or selling your soul?

Image
Snobbery and hubris from the traditional publishing world bred some hurt feelings on the self-published side of the industry. To ease the pain, "Selfies" like to point out that they maintain control over their work and don't have to sell their souls like the "Trads" do. I don't think many believe that argument completely, but there's a lot of self-satisfaction in the idea of being in complete control of your artistic vision. This mask of creative integrity has morphed into a widely held conceit that we Selfies can write anything we like and, once our genius is recognized, we can reap the benefits of redefining the publishing industry. Only, that almost NEVER happens. Sure, the internet is awash with stories of this person who made seven figures self-publishing, or that person who was writing a chapter at a time on their blog and now their book is a movie. Yes, it happens...to those two people. Generally, the rest of us struggle. One of the

Questions for Spartagus.

I'm trying to be a writer (you may have heard mention of this fact a couple thousand times already...lets just pretend this is the first time) and writers need an audience and an ability to connect with them. So, I'm gonna try something different in the blog this time. I struggle to talk about myself in any meaningful way to strangers. I don't know you and you don't know me so, for the most part we are strangers. I show up on Twitter and tweet some mundane fact about myself: "I like cheese!" or, find myself chiming in about movies, cracking wise or ruminating about the size of the universe.The bulk of what I "talk" about is in short, sharp blasts on Twitter and that's lead me to wonder how much of a connection I'm making to the people I interact with through the myriad of social forums. I'm not the most social of animals since I do not find myself in the least bit "special" or "interesting" so find it hard to fat

Bright Lights #1 - Valerie Haight - Happenstance

Image
 As promised, today I begin a new series of interviews with a diverse group of writers I've met on my internet journeys. The first head on the chopping block (volunteer) is Valerie Haight. Valerie is a prize winning, contemporary romance and suspense writer from Arkansas. Always supportive of other writers, she was one of the first people on Twitter to extend the hand of friendship to me and the first (and still only) person to ask me to post (guest blog) on their website. I am hugely honored that she has finally relented and agreed to come over to my wee blog and talk to you all (or y'all...whichever is more appropriate lol). So, without further ado, I'd like to introduce the first "Bright Light" in this ongoing series: Valerie Haight GUS: Hi, Valerie! This is a very exciting time for you in your writing career.  Now that you're nearing the release of your first novella, which part of the journey has surprised you the most? VALERIE: Hi Gareth!
