I've been working on a project for a while now, and have had a few people look at it chapter by chapter and then all together to make sure the plot flows. I'm using first person point of view, but want to keep some things a mystery and I am having a bit of trouble with that. Do you have any tips? I'm welcoming all of the help I can get. P.S. I love your books and can't wait for Eternal Kiss of Darkness! -Kristin Hi, Jeaniene.

Thanks for the info. The only thing is I've been through this damn story about a thousand times and I have about six other projects on hiatus because of my lack of writers block cure! I feel like a right idiot because of it and, even though my best friend and editor is upfront with me, I still can't find anywhere I need to revise it. I've gotten everyone I know - even people I hate - to read it and they say there needs to me more talk and less action. I don't get what they mean because there's pleanty of talking ,too. And good luck with the next three Night Huntress books! Can't wait as long as eleven months for the next book! --Cassie Hi, Jeaniene. Thanks for the info.

Re-"I don’t know how to fill the gaps between action moments." All writers struggle with this. Sorry, but there's no magic formula to utilize - you write and revise until you're satisfied, and then you get a critique from a friend/other writer and revise again. Good luck! Hi Cassie.

I adore your Night Huntress/World books - First Drop Of Crimson was absolute GENIUS! I've emailed before about writers block - which is now thankfully cured after rereading ALL of your recent work - and I have a HUGE problem: I don't know how to fill the gaps between action moments. I have all the explanation stuff down to a tee but there are spaces in between where my two main characters (A young female demon and a powerful demon king) are actually doing something worthwhile (as well as funny) and I realy don't want to fill it with idle chit-chat as I believe that makes the heroine look a little like a 'Mary Sue' - or a Bella as I call them after the Twilight saga heroine I cannot stand - and yet I can't put any more explanation in. Can you help me? --Cassie Hi, Ms Frost. I adore your Night Huntress/World books – First Drop Of Crimson was absolute GENIUS!

I really appreciate your sharing some very valuable insight from someone in the business. FYI - I just ravished 2 of the Night Huntress books and can't wait to read the others. Please keep them coming! ~ana Jeaniene:

I love your books! I can't stop reading once I start one. I have always wanted to write my own books, but I am not very good on grammar or spelling.Your Q&A blog is really helpful for after the book has been written, but what about the writing process? Is there any tips you can give me? If there is I would really be welcome to them. I hope you have a good day, and thank you for taking your time to read this! Hi, Jeaniene! I love your books!
