Janga! Thank you! In my favorite black moments, you never know if there will be an HEA. And for me, the HEA isn’t as necessary as a good story told the way it should be told. I know some people require a HEA but I love books that’s willing to go out there on that limb.

Renee! It’s amazing how many people dream the cliff but it’s always different for everyone. I’m one of those people who likes a risk. I’ll weigh my options first but I’ll still jump. It usually takes someone holding me back to keep my from jumping off the deep end.

And I agree with Ter. That sounds so far from lame that I don’t even have words for how much I’d be into that book!

Irish! The best black moment, for me, are the ones that you can’t believe what just happened. You never thought it would come down to that. I like surprise in my fiction. LOL And to be uncomfortable with my emotions and fidget. Those are the best.

Wow! Powerful stuff, Sin!

The black moment that always amazes me is in Carla Kelly’s Reforming Lord Ragsdale when the separation of Emma and Lord Ragsdale seems so final that the reader actually begins to doubt an HEA is possible.

The black moment in TLWH was one of those scenes that almost wrote itself. Dori hears a door close, a car drive away, and the pain of the choice she made is all-consuming. It’s the only scene I wrote that made me cry.

OMG! Renee, that is extraordinary and as far from lame as you can get. I want to read that!! That’s like angst from start to finish. How close is this to being finished?

Well, gosh, I’m not sure I can top this. It’s pretty damn dark. I mean, she’s kinda narrowed her options.

Good job, though!

Sin, this was beyond beautiful. It was like a moment out of my mind. I’ve seen myself there a million times but never had the courage to step off the cliff.

I live for black moments and a good cry. My WIP is set in 1604 and my heroine has been abused her entire life, she’s never known love, never been able to trust, until she trusts my hero with her heart. But then he lies, out of necessity to save her life and she equates his betrayal with his lack of love, so when given the choice to stay with the hero or go home to her family, she goes home, thinking she never loved him he lets her go.

Gosh that sounds so unordinary and lame, I think I might have to change it to make it more unique.;)

I’m so slow on the uptake today. It’s been a long day and I’m so sorry it took me so long to respond.

My hero/heroine have to overcome my hero’s obsession with having his name cleared after society thinks he’s killed his first wife.
