About Brit...

Brit Blaise grew up with a deep and abiding love for books. She believes in dark and dangerous heroes; strong women who aren't afraid to think for themselves; head-over-heels love; fairy tale endings and that it's more fun to laugh than to cry, but doing both at the same time is best of all.

Master Storyteller

Brit Blaise is a master storyteller. The characters in Time Thieves jump off the pages and the storyline is both action packed and exciting. The love scenes are so hot you'll be challenged to catch your breath. I hope that this is the beginning of a wonderful new series because I would love to hear Peck's tale. Or Lawzard's. - Two Lips

Goals

As I stated on the butterscotch martini girls blog, I finished a first draft today. This is the second short I’ve finished this month. One at 18,000 words and right now this one is 13,000. However, it’ll easily grow another 4,000 in edits. I also did the galleys for the Avalon book this month. So I think I’ve done well, but I still can’t project with clear accuracy what I’m capable of producing in a year. I’ll see what I end up after I go to the Roadrunner Saloon in the morning to write. I’m thinking 35,000 words a month is reasonable. 40,000 would be a stretch goal.

I also said it’s not just about quantity. The quality is as important and even more illusive. The two EPPIE nominations give me hope I’m on track with quality, but I want every story to show my growth as a new author. A new author trying to set clear goals.

40,000 a month would equal six full length manuscripts or 18 short stories, or four full length and maybe 6-8 short stories. That sounds like a worthy goal…
