the To Do List post
<div class=\"postavatar\">the-to-do-list-post</div>

<div class=\"postavatar\"></div> So…yesterday I finished spanking a book into shape, along with a couple synopses, and sent that off for perusal. I cleaned my desk, did laundry, watched some X Files (while working), played some pinball, caught up on some episodes of Lost (I’m on Season 4) and generally accomplished a lot. Today, I think [...]

By any other name…
<div class=\"postavatar\">by-any-other-name</div>

<div class=\"postavatar\"></div> I’ve been thinking about something. Names for characters. The last book I finished was erotic fiction for Spice; now I’ve flipped to a book I wrote a few months ago which is…honestly, not sure what it is. Suspense-ish. And after that, I’m going to write my second book for MIRA, which is also [...]

Hello! And welcome!
<div class=\"postavatar\">hello-and-welcome</div>

<div class=\"postavatar\"></div> *waves* Hi, everyone! I’m expecting some new traffic here today, so if it’s your first time stopping by…THANK YOU! And welcome. My name is Megan Hart. I write books. I’ve written a lot of romances and erotic fiction, and I also write literary/mainstream/women’s fiction – the first of which, Precious and Fragile Things, [...]

I don’t review books.

I read books. I love many of them. Some of them I do not love. Some of them I don’t finish. Some of them I tear up and put through a shredder because they are so awful. But I don’t review them. Why? Because I write books. And while I am a reader too, the [...]

On why I love Netflix

One word. Streaming. Since yesterday I finished the book I’ve been working on (not entirely, it needs another good read through and feedback, but it’s mostly done) today I’m devoting to cleaning my office, wrapping holiday presents, packaging up books to send out and other assorted organizational duties. I also started watching Californication. I always [...]

Woooooo! Awesome!

If you asked me for a sneak peek booklet for Precious and Fragile Things (read an early review here) they’re on their way — if you sent me an email about it and didn’t get a “on its way” message, please let me know, as that means I didn’t put them in the mail for [...]

First day of School.

Exercised, which was good. Made coffee in my new maker, to replace the one that broke. Also good. Wrote! Very good! But didn’t write enough. Was stalled a little bit. Sort of playing around with where the story’s going, what it wants to be…this one has no contract or deadline and I have the tiniest [...]

Upon being called gritty and horrific…
<div class=\"postavatar\">upon-being-called-gritty-and-horrific</div>

<div class=\"postavatar\"></div> I actually had an entirely different topic to write about today, but got derailed after receiving a rejection from my agent. Via my agent, I should say, as it wasn’t my agent rejecting me but an editor who’d sent an email to my agent. The editor said the project was “incredibly compelling and [...]

THE SKY IS FALLING….!
<div class=\"postavatar\">the-sky-is-falling</div>

<div class=\"postavatar\"></div> Okay, so all of a sudden, print publishing is circling the drain, right? Ebooks are taking over, thus creating the demise of foine lit-ra-chur as we know it. Right? Ummm….wrong. Look. I’ve been digitally published since we called it e-publishing. Waaaaaay back when in oh…2001? 2002? Somewhere around there, and I wasn’t even [...]

Back to work.

Ahhh. Summer’s on the downhill slide and I’ve only just come into the “fuck this, it’s summer” mindset which means I spend my days doing things other than work instead of saying “fuck this, it’s summer” and trying hard to work every day and doing other things instead. Of course, having said that, today I [...]
