Your crit partners/betas will tell you when something doesn't ring true, I'm sure. And keep in mind--not every woman is the same. Wait--that just made it harder. :)Heather Day Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12353914883176152555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-5305857730386883032014-11-04T17:49:46.113-08:002014-11-04T17:49:46.113-08:00Sounds tough, but it also sounds like you're u...Sounds tough, but it also sounds like you're up to the challenge.

Romance is difficult, and that's sometimes why I give way to UF instead of PNR. You can do this! And I know UR will happily answer any questions with a round of bears and chocolate. :)Christine Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263694662585963900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-79526297303188925092014-11-04T15:20:20.394-08:002014-11-04T15:20:20.394-08:00wow, you folks are so supportive.

You could always do the alternate voice thing. I'm doing that with the historical paranormal I'm writing now. One chapter from Fiera's voice, the next from Peter's... and so on. I had to chuckle when you mentioned you were knee deep in women's jewelry. I think you do just fine with the push pull of two tortured would-be lovers. You worked it well in Necromancer! I can't wait to read this next project! Good luck with it, and yes, it is fortunate that there are women in your writers' group. :)Catherine Stinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131569196977321229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-46022924416951507172014-11-04T12:25:05.254-08:002014-11-04T12:25:05.254-08:00You may never be able to find your comfort zone ag...You may never be able to find your comfort zone again.
