About This Newsletter

Intimacy involves several key factors: trust, acceptance, honesty, communication, affection, safety, and compassion. All of these factors foster closeness or intimacy in a relationship.

As writers, we need to find ways to incorporate these into our romance stories and bring the characters to life and lead them to love.

Letter from the editor

There are many ways writers can show love and intimacy between characters without throwing them into bed together. This week we'll cover some ideas you can try out in your Love/Romance stories!

Remember to use your "show, don't tell" skills to really lure your readers into these scenes!

*HeartP* One character raises their hand to another character's forehead to check for a fever.

*Heartp* Wiping away someone's tears.

*Heartp* Giving a hand/foot/back/neck massage.

*Heartp* Gently removing an eyelash from someone's cheek.

*Heartp* Whispering in someone's ear.

*Heartp* The characters have a deep and vulnerable conversation.

*Heartp* A character may leave a special note for another.

*Heartp* Dancing together.

*Heartp* Characters may read to one another.

Non-sexual affectionate touching can be a wonderful way to show an intimate connection between characters.
