The backbone of any romance novel is the romantic relationship. Romance novelists are skilled at showing characters fall in love with each other while the reader falls in love with the characters. In this workshop, Farah will cover techniques to show increasing emotional intimacy by focusing on both the mind and the body. Themes, character growth, and emotions will be discussed, as well as physical expressions of intimacy. This workshop would be of value to romance writers, or writers of other genres who want to improve the romantic relationships in their stories.
