Quite a few months ago I attended a writing workshop called. I write. One of the presenters gave some wonderful ideas on how to write better romance. I thought I wrote down her name but I don’t see it seeing it. Here is a continuation of writing romance.
Combine awareness of the physical through a gradual progression. Here is a sequence
– Eye to body
– Eye to eye contact (don’t overuse) search for eye
– Voice to voice contact
– First Hand to hand contact, make it a big deal,
– Arm to shoulder (shows beginning ownership)
– Arm to waist contact (dancing good way to accomplish this
– Kissing – build up to the kissing scene.
– Sexual tension is more in mind than anywhere else – Linda Howard.
– Hand to head (touching the head is the most vulnerable part of the body)
– Movie: return to me. He listens to her heart. One character gets a haircut, or they doing a job that causes hand contact.
