Grrr . . . I'm wearing a Navy uniform as I type this. Hope that adds to your fun.<BR/><BR/>Not sure I have any insightful comments vis-a-vis romance novels. Read a really intriguing one Colleen had given me about a French legionaire and a Boston librarian on a search for Moroccan scrolls - fascinating characters, actually. <BR/><BR/>With regards to Kate's plot issues, I'd stay away from shape-shifting personally. Alcohol always functions well as a social lubricant - and the post-drunken-hook-up conversation the next day has serious entertainment potential. Clearly the sexual tension is already there, so it wouldn't take much, and it gets you to Point B, with all sorts of fun insecurity issues still attached (e.g. did she only hook up with him because she was drunk, does she actually have any sex appeal to a sober straight man, etc?) <BR/><BR/>As far as our flitgirl goes, you have so many revision plans, I think it's a blessing to have more time to work on them and get things more polished. What's another 6 mos if it means having a great novel?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
