And to give that warning, because everyone know's how infatuated she is with him except F himself.<br /><br />Harth isn't actually lovestruck. He's trying to educate her a little on the mechanics of kissing and such because she's just turned old enough to be courted.Nighfalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745824744507928211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-49056173675665217132010-05-26T22:57:24.390-04:002010-05-26T22:57:24.390-04:00I haven't read the story so I can't say to...I haven't read the story so I can't say to context. But, seems to me nothing really happened in this scene. A beautiful kiss between two friends; a lonely lady and a love struck soldier loyal to the man she loves. <br /><br />From the little I've seen of Marenya, she probably needs that bit of friendship she just sealed. A little rebellion never hurt anyone; and Harth did not let it go to far. And isn't his warning about Faldur's committment to his duty right on target?<br /><br />Regardless of that you do with the scene, it was beautifully romantic; and every story has a little romance in it. Love is such a basic emotion.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this.<br /><br />.........dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-51437846922377564712010-05-26T22:30:11.533-04:002010-05-26T22:30:11.533-04:00Aubrie, I'm beginning to think that there is r...Aubrie, I'm beginning to think that there is romance DNA in me that is trying to come out.<br /><br />Michelle, I know how I want to write the story but everyone says that isn't "popular" and "won't sell."

I want to write it the way that feels right to me, with the omniscient narrator, and get rid of all this close third POV crap.<br /><br />Sorry, that's how I feel right now. Doing close third just gets me all tangled up in this stupid paying-attention-to-every-little-look-or-movement kind of stuff that drives me crazy.<br /><br />"In the cold crack of winter, the lions came down from the mountains..."Nighfalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745824744507928211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922561838307837931.post-60137414689013734082010-05-26T21:12:56.659-04:002010-05-26T21:12:56.659-04:00Yes, Lexi, this is a very rough first draft.
