I believe that characters have to interact in order to fall in love (no such thing as love at first sight!) and the interaction I love the most is dialogue. Yay dialogue! So I guess I use a lot of that.<br /><br />xx RAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181241692016438730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-82974963962918873022012-02-22T01:26:19.539+02:002012-02-22T01:26:19.539+02:00Thanks, Ciara!Thanks, Ciara!Cherie Reichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16663147386014122939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-88868357718481564012012-02-22T01:26:04.958+02:002012-02-22T01:26:04.958+02:00Thank you, Amy! :)Thank you, Amy! :)Cherie Reichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16663147386014122939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-24088580821797236802012-02-22T01:25:33.406+02:002012-02-22T01:25:33.406+02:00Aww!

Sounds like a good mix of romance with a little FarScape-esque fantasy thrown in. :)<br /><br />About making our characters fall for each other...I like to build up trust and friendship by showing their unique vulnerabilities, then just as they feel like something might be there, I throw in a little doubt again. And it just keeps building from there. Good romantic tension comes when the characters, and the readers, know there's a spark, but they also have very legitimate reasons not to act on it right away. :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680066584646789184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-56507275398470697972012-02-18T16:32:56.978+02:002012-02-18T16:32:56.978+02:00*laughs* Me too!

Silly me didn't even realize how Pyramus and Thisbe-like it was until I finished the book and several edits on it. Aww, thanks, Dianne! I hope you enjoy the sample, and the book too, if you choose to purchase it. :)Cherie Reichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16663147386014122939noreply@blogger.com
