Domestic Discipline is the agreement between a couple that the male is the head of the household and if he feels she has violated agreed upon tenants of their marriage/ relationship, then he decides the punishment and she agrees to accept. The parameters are only for those who trust and are trust worthy with each other. I can tell you that you never want a punishment spanking and yet in DD it is accepted because it is who you are together. You don't want punishment but do want it in your relationship and rather crave what it gives you overall. So, yes. But it is never forced. If she really means no, then there is no spanking.

Susan Stoker has a new one coming out and Lexi Blake does as well I believe but I read anything that takes my fancy. Of course, I want others to read my books.
Maybe some older Victoria Holt books.

Well, that doesn't happen often with me but usually it is because I have not done enough research or need to outline a bit, or need a break. So I read in the genre I am writing in, or watch movies in the same genre or go to a completely different sub-genre and work on that.
Often, to stop from blocking, I will stop when I know what comes next so have a place to start when I pick it up the next day.
Sometimes, a power-writing session is the best for breaking through any block.

Finally, I can share all of the little voices that are in my head trying to get out. They do so many crazy things in my head that just when I think I have told all I can, they do something drastic and more demands to be written. Actually, the best part is that writing and reading are not a "when I get my other work done" it is my work. There is nothing better.

Read. Write. Don't stop. Research, read, write, fine tune your writing and read/write more. I have been writing from the day I really could and have done so since then. I stopped to have children, work on my career, (the other one) but now am in a position to simply write and I love it. My English Prof in College wanted me to submit some of my pieces to an awards committee but I didn't due to my lack of confidence. I now wish I had but it is never to late to follow a dream. Just do it.

Another book in the Regency series that takes to what happens when a Minx marries her Lord, An East Texas Cowboy contemporary, and several others. I like to write about so many times and things, I have to get the research done so I feel prepared and off we go.

Easy, I people watch. All sorts of scenarios happen when I do that and one an idea is formed, the rest is filler...and fun...

I was watching several Regency/Victorian era movies and then a few books and I asked, what if... and if that happened, then what... finally, I went to England last summer and voila...here we are.
