Your Fat Needs Culture

I have been overweight for many years. There’s no way I would turn down a pill that would let me eat whatever I wanted to eat and still lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. That would let me sit at the computer or sit and watch movies and not be obese. I’d give you my first born child if I had any, for such a pill and I know I am not alone.

Welcome to Hungerford, Inc.

I found the RWA National Convention in July of this year to be stunning in the range of helpful workshops, wonderful people, and willing mentors available. At the top of the list of things I came away with that are going to help me get where I am going I have to put Stephanie Bond’s workshop.

Perfect Conclusion

To wrap up our Perfect Romance, we need to figure out how to get Anna and Zach together. Should Zach lose his leg due to the car crash? Would that make Anna more sympathetic to him? Would he reject her because he doesn’t want anyone’s pity?

Perfect Back Story

Every fan of Romance novels knows that Happily Ever After is the perfect conclusion. And the more trouble the principles involved have to work through to get there, the better. Sexual tension is important, too. In our story, however, there’s not much sex of any kind yet. But there is an attraction and there is desire. The following back story needs to be woven in to the story going forward without heavy telling and without flashbacks.

Meet R-R Varg

When I discover an up-and-coming author whose work interests me, I like to propose some questions and have a bit of a conversation about their answers. This month, I discovered R-R Varg.

Perfect Plot

We’ve seen our perfect heroine and our perfect hero. For the sake of utility in this post, I will call her Anna and him Zachary. They have met in a bar and exchange phone numbers. That night, Zach sends a text to Anna telling her what a great time he had and how he looks forward to taking her out, maybe on the weekend.

Perfect Hero

Last time, we watched which things belonging to a woman attracts a man. And in which order. Today we are going to watch our heroine check out this guy who just came into the bar. Or restaurant. Or office building. Or television studio audience.
