Essentials of Writing: Art of Writing Love Scenes
Writing a passionate love scene takes skill. If you’re not careful, the writing can be plagued with clichés and euphemisms, which make the scene seem juvenile-or worse, funny. A great love scene illuminates character and deepens the reader’s understanding of character relationships. Discover the key elements that make a love scene memorable, while also reviewing the writing elements such as dialogue, setting, and point-of-view that are necessary to create an unforgettable scene!
