I start a book in Word and continue in that form until the end. I use the Page breaks after each chapter and have a separate page page for characters and thoughts for plotting, etc. It's the most streamlined way to write. Using all those extra programs that other authors use is just a time crunch for me when I just want to get the book written. Mimi
Oh right... you asked how I generate ideas, etc. I watch the news and research a lot. The characters are already in my head and just waiting to take on a role. :-)
I write in three different genres. My first was a paranormal romance - "She's Me". That brought me my first contract. The genre I continue to write in-between my main work is the contemporary romance genre. But my favorite is romantic suspense - Undercover FBI Series, Vegas Series, Her Sweet Retaliation Series and the latest Land of the Free Trilogy.
