All my books speak to me on some level and I believe I write them when I need to. I've changed series order, swapping out books and adding others. I've changed plans for what I will write next because it didn't feel like the right time. But the exact reason why is sometimes obscured. #pretendpanel

Surely we shouldn't have favourites! Oh go on then. My favourite of all my stories is Cole from Bridging the Gap. He's a neurodivergent veterinarian. I decided to research what it would be like to be ND and then the penny dropped. There's a lot of me in Cole. #pretendpanel

The Candy Hearts charity anthology is back with a second volume! What's sweeter than a low angst queer romance at Valentine's Day? How about twenty-three of them in one anthology to help support a good cause? Release date: February 4, 2025 Pre-order now: candyheartsanthology.com

I 'see' my books and translate that into words. Sometimes if I don't have a good vision of the scene I find it very difficult to write what I cannot see. I find grammar and punctuation rules hard to remember - luckily I have a fantastic editor who is happy to rearrange them for me. #pretendpanel

💥💥💥Leaving Soon - Last Chance💥💥💥 👍Right Place, Right Time by Jem Wendel👍 Part of the 𝙍𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙈𝙚 Charity Anthology When the world around you has gone bad, can anything good come of it? For one man, a weekend date has gone wrong. For the other, a training exercise. But can two wrongs make a right?

I'm currently writing the 5th in my Larchdown Valley series. I hadn't planned this book. Both characters wrote themselves into book 4 and demanded I told their story. Who am I to refuse? Any writer who thinks they're in charge is fooling themselves. #pretendpanel

It depends. it's it a small block then a walk works wonders. Movement helps to unblock, or doing a menial task. If it's something bigger then taking a break or working on a different project. I never force the muse. #pretendpanel

Resisting the Urge is coming soon! I can't wait for you to meet Levi and Mac. Pre-order here - mybook.to/JW-RTU

Check out Jem Wendel MM Contemporary Jem Wendel is a British author who lives on the East Coast. She has a love of history and is composed of 90% tea. She has been writing since she was old enough ... www.queeromanceink.com/mbm-book-aut... #GayRomance #AuthorSpotlight @jemwendel.bsky.social

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #55234567: You don’t have to write for a living to be a writer. You don’t have to be a great writer to be a writer. You don’t have to write full time to be a writer. All you have to do is write.

Favourites? My absolute favourite author is @natashapulley.bsky.social Hubby and I frequently disagree which is our favourite book of hers. Did I just put Natasha above my beloved Jane Austen? I believe I did. Within my own genre is tough - Macy Blake, Fearne Hill, Lily Mayne #pretendpanel

I've already shared about story ideas - for example this is how it works. I'm in the kitchen washing the dishes. Hubby picks up his guitar and plays a few chords. A whole series idea unfolds in my head. Agatha Christie said washing the dishes was good for thinking. I'm not going to argue with her.

Routine? What routine? I have a full time job. As Elizabeth Gilbert puts it so well - I write in the cracks of life. If I could choose a routine it would be to write in the morning when my brain is fresh. I do struggle if I'm trying to start wording after 9pm. #pretendpanel

Doing a final ARC call for my M/M, fox shifter omegaverse book coming out in February. You can expect: 🦊 Fox shifters 💛 Omegaverse 🦊 Pining 💛 Brother’s best friend 🦊 Nesting 💛 Knotting 😏 docs.google.com/forms/d/1MUP...

Love this question! For so long I identified as Panster but as I write more and more to deadlines I need to be a bit more structured. But I really struggle with plotting so I'm currently developing my own method that plots while satisfying my pantser side. #pretendpanel

🔥🔥It Takes Three To Tango - N$FW Cover🔥🔥 The N$FW Cover is ready - I can't show it all here sadly but it is up on my webstore - www.jemwendel.com and in my author group in the MM Wire Community - themmwire.circle.so/c/jem-wendel/

I write romance so my books are going to end with a Happily Ever After. How that happens can depend on the story. If I end the book after an event. I might add an epilogue to show the couple established and/or to tie up something I couldn't do within the confines of the story. #pretendpanel

I like to start my books in the middle of some action. To transport the reader straight into the story. Then I can fill in the who, where, why, and when round the action and build the story. Sometimes it might be some dialogue. I've also started a book with the F word.

Ideas? Anywhere and everywhere - I am always open to ideas and allow thoughts space to grow. They could come from - something someone says, a news story, some other event, or just something my brain conjures up. One came from some work I did a while ago and i've been waiting to use it. #pretendpanel

I thought I would be alright lagging ten days behind on these - but apparently not 😬 So be prepared for lots of posts today. Fellow authors new to Bluesky - Come and join the #pretendpanel prompts

I absolutely love this one. These three really hit me, I cried with Constantin (and could have throttled him), laughed with Florencio and cheered him on and discovered Barcelona with Rafe. @jemwendel.bsky.social

Review! It Takes Three to Tango by Jem Wendel: "A wonderful read, with three men meeting in a Barcelona bar. The characters are a delight, even the wicked father you’ll love to hate. The writing is just magic." www.queeromanceink.com/2024/12/18/r... #BookReview #GayRomance @jemwendel.bsky.social
