Happy Birthday Ter! :) 29?! Surely you aren’t that old!!! *g*

I think that my favorite scene so far has been the first one of my Regency. My hero hits the heroine accidentally with a door and, because he’s drunk, he kisses the heroine. It was fun to write.

I did a really funny (or at least what I thought was fairly funny) conversation between my heroine and her best friend that I was pretty impressed with recently. <br/><br/>I know love scenes are gonna be my big challenge.<br/><br/>HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! You don't look a day over 28! It's amazing what the internet can do for your complexion!<br/><br/>Happy New Year everyone!!!

I've written things that when I go back, I think.. "Wowza. Where the hell did that come from?" I never delete anything. I have a file folder in my documents that is filled with pieces and scenes I have written and haven't used. If I deleted it, I'd want it to use it. And then I'd want to kick my ass. <br/><br/>*hug* Happy New Year Happy birthday babe!

I also can't imagine writing a historical romance. The dialog escapes me. <br/><br/>I'm a Nicholas Sparks follower. I too write emotional, tear jerking scenes very well. I'm at my happiest when my readers are thinking of buying stock in Kleenex:) Great blog Terrio and Happy Birthday!

How many of us go to those sad, sappy movies just to cry?! Nicholas Sparks has made a career out of tears.<br/><br/>You have a gift - unique to you and a blessing to the rest of us. And I've seen you have humor, it's just the subtle, intelligent kind which is not the easiest thing to do. Thank you, Janga and thanks for the card. *g* Tears are always good.

The love scenes in my wip are definitely more tender than steamy. I have tried the sizzle, but it is not my forte.<br/><br/>Humor is another weakness. I love books that make me laugh and cry. I would like to move my readers in this way, but I am better at evoking tears. Happy day, birthday girl!

The Lucy I have now is much different than the Lucy in the book. I don't know how I'd keep it, but I'd like to. *LOL* Oh, well, maybe the new incarnation will be better.

Elizabeth dies mid-book, or well, about 2/3rds through--and Lucy has to deal with it. He doesn't deal well. He gets some Jack and broods and rails...and gets half-seduced by Elizabeth's friend, Lisa--then kicks her out. Then he throws the bottle at the wall and cries...and Elizabeth watches the whole thing from Heaven and cries. <br/><br/>Yeah, I really liked that scene when I first wrote it. *LOL* I really liked my death scene in Redemption, the first really crappy draft of the first manuscript I ever finished.
