It's the little touches and soft sighs, the fleeting looks that make things romantic.<BR/>TheresaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351423051445393271.post-5349989382329773032008-03-31T14:24:00.000+10:002008-03-31T14:24:00.000+10:00I think it's the tension and using the five senses...I think it's the tension and using the five senses when describing the sexual play between the characters.

And yes, some names can be very annoying. <BR/>Amanda, I love imagination - I use it often to recreate settings I have visited or at least manipulate details that prove useful for the purpose of creating the story.<BR/>Thanks for the comments<BR/>Regards AnnieAnnie Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09361222428670858731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351423051445393271.post-21157415205115496172008-03-23T14:14:00.000+10:002008-03-23T14:14:00.000+10:00Hmmm - good point...

I guess when I am writing my settings I do utilise those that I have had an experience with (good or bad) and then also draw on what I would imagine would work beautifully in that moment... being such a beginner - have to think about what it is I actually do re settings...!!!<BR/><BR/>I usually use sensory language with my settings, and involve that as my descriptors rather than the actual place...<BR/><BR/>Great thought provoking comment though... good one!<BR/><BR/>AmandaAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10646437561297334978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351423051445393271.post-8875468235015512692008-03-23T13:24:00.000+10:002008-03-23T13:24:00.000+10:00hi annie, me again. too rushed and thoughtless to ...hi annie, me again. too rushed and thoughtless to check the spelling.<BR/>SORRY!

Many reader equal many different opinions.<BR/> I have read so many books where they have either described the setting or the characters clothes or appearance and though, yuk or something to that effect.<BR/>I then have had to stop mid read and use my imagination to what i would like. It's a little annouying, but when it's a good read you'll put up with it.<BR/>Same goes for these names from the sexy genre. Man are'nt some of them a mouthful.<BR/>have fun<BR/>kezAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06231732357746804509noreply@blogger.com
