Ready to meet another amazing author from the M/M Romance community? Today we feature Brina Brady in the hot seat!
Indie or Traditionally published? - Tell us how this works for you...
I am an Indie author, who likes to be in charge of my characters. I’m very protective of them.
Plot or Pants? Do you pre-plot your books, use an outline, fly by the seat of your pants or some combination of things? How do you keep track of characters in a series? Do you keep a journal of your characters’ statistics, such as hair and eye color, relatives, hometown, etc.
I sit down and write without plotting ahead. I do research the names of my characters, and their personality traits. I decide what they want and how will they get it. When I’m midway, I’ll list scenes I want before I end the story.
Something people would be surprised to know about you.
I taught for thirty years in California. I also used to teach Sunday school for six years when I was in my twenties.
Which character still pops into your mind to visit from time to time?
Brennen and Shane. Brennen is from the Rent Me Series and Shane is from the Bend Over Series. I love those two characters.
Where do you write? Do you have a routine?
I write in bed or downstairs sitting in my recliner. I write when I can, but mostly, I sprint at night.
What’s the hardest part about writing M/M romance or erotica?
After writing twenty-five books, I work at not repeating something I’ve written before.
What’s the hardest part about writing?
The hardest part of writing is the beginning of chapter one.
Where do you find inspiration?
I look at pictures on Pinterest and listen to music for inspiration.
What is your favorite thing about writing M/M romance?
I love men so writing about two men makes me happy. I like when the two men are successful together by supporting each other.
