CONVERSATIONS WITH BOBBY

Ever wonder where romance writers get their ideas? What made them decide to be writers? Are the hot sex scenes written from personal experience? Are the characters based on real people? Is there a formula to writing romance? How does a writer keep on keeping on, creating one book after another?

I wanted to answer those questions and many more, so I’ve begun posting a series of interviews on YouTube. In these first videos, my dear, irreverent friend, Joanne, asks the things she’s most curious about, and I’ve told the entire, unabridged truth, so help me God.

Do you have questions about the writing process or what it’s really like to be a writer? I’d love to do my best at answering anything and everything you’ve wondered about. Just post your questions in my comment box, or email me at bobbyhut@telus.net and I’ll do my best to answer. And for those intriguing, naughty questions you’re too shy to ask, Joanne will undoubtedly ask them for you in upcoming videos!

WRITING, PUBLISHING, ADVERTISING January 7, 2013

As a writer, I’m often asked to address groups. It always puzzles me, why anyone would believe that because you write, you can also talk. The two are totally different abilities. In fact, if a writer is deep into a project, friends and family will readily report that spoken communication is well nigh impossible. Now [...] Tags: advertising, bobby hutchinson […]

A SHORT SHORT CHRISTMAS STORY November 20, 2012

Holidays are nostalgic for me, making me remember celebrations from the past. I grew up in the town where I now live. It used to be called Natal. Now it’s Sparwood. The name may have changed, but the industry remains the same. It’s a coal mining town. My Grandfather came from Scotland to work in [...] Tags: bobby hutchinson, christmas, christmas story, free […]

AMAZON BEST SELLER LIST September 5, 2012

The dream of any writer is to make a best-seller list. That dream came true when I published The Baby Doctor on Amazon’s Kindle. Within 24 hours of launching the free download for Amazon’s KDP program, The Baby Doctor hit the best-seller list for Romance. To my amazement and delight, it stayed there for the [...] Tags: amazon best seller list, bobby hutchin […]

BIRTHING A ROMANCE July 31, 2012

When I was a little girl, I didn’t dream of becoming a romance writer. My big dream was to be a mommy. I announced regularly that I wanted twelve kids. (I settled wisely for three.) But even now, I can’t pass a baby without feeling that old familiar attraction. So when I began writing [...] Tags: babies, birthing, bobby hutchinson, doctors, romance writin […]

CAN I GET THERE FROM HERE? July 10, 2012

The idea of writing a book can be a daunting proposition. Even if you’ve done it many times before, it still sometimes makes you want to go to bed until the urge goes away. That’s when an outline helps. Granted, outlining can take almost as much time as writing the damned thing, but it’s like [...] Tags: bobby hutchinson, how to write, on writing, outlining […]

WRITING AWAY FEAR July 5, 2012

Is writing a discipline, a compulsion, a joy? It depends. When I first began to write for publication, I was terrified, and terror doesn’t do much for creativity. I’d written a short story in my head while training to run the Vancouver Marathon, and I copied it down and sent it to a major woman’s [...] Tags: Del.icio.us Facebook TweetThis Digg StumbleUpon […]

LET’S PRETEND June 29, 2012

You’re on the sixth chapter, and your creativity has gone on holiday. You stare at the screen and you haven’t a clue where to go or what scene should come next. This is what you do to prime the old pump. Depending on what genre you’re writing, think of the writer you love reading in [...] Tags: Del.icio.us Facebook TweetThis Digg StumbleUpon Comments: 0 ( […]

WHY DO WRITERS WRITE? June 22, 2012

In a recent interview I was asked why I write. Not an easy question to answer, because it’s really saying, who are you? Beneath the social trappings, underneath the veneer, what makes you do what you do? We’re observers rather than participants, we writers. We watch and listen and eavesdrop. Our favorite question is, “and [...] Tags: bobby hutchinson, inter […]

WRITING–HOW MUCH OF ME DO I REVEAL? July 20, 2011

Writing is nudity at it’s best. | Photo By Jonny Em Writing is intimate. The best writing is honest, and personal, whether it’s fiction or blogging or poetry. So how much of yourself do you lay bare for the world (I’m always an optimist!) to read? This is the [...] Tags: Del.icio.us Facebook TweetThis Digg StumbleUpon Comments: 3 comments on […]
