Romance readers are some of the biggest Feeling Junkies in all of fiction.

Ask me how I know. 🙋‍♀️

We reread the books we love. Not to find out what happens, because we already KNOW what happens.

We knew before we opened the book for the first time. That's the genre promise. 💍

We go back (sometimes again and again) to sit inside a very specific feeling.

That's what a reread is. A reader choosing to feel something again on purpose.

👀👇 Listen to Episode 17: Feed Your Feeling Junkies​

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING: This episode talks about the childhood loss of a pet. Nothing is graphically depicted, but it is mentioned a few times as part of the example hero's backstory. So if this is a sensitive or triggering topic for you, please take care of yourself while listening.

✋ The thing worth asking about your own manuscript isn't just whether the plot "works".

It's whether any given scene gives your reader something to come back FOR.

⚖️ In Episode 17, I give you a short exercise to test whether you've identified the feeling that YOUR readers want to relive. 🥰

📑 And I talk about the difference between "plot" scenes and "story" scenes and why your manuscript should have way more of one than the other.

This episode is only about 30 minutes long, excellent company while you do your weekend grocery shopping. 🍆

⚡📆 In the episode, I talk about the Backstory Bridge module and give you a pre-exercise to help in case you get stuck or need some extra insight. So if you haven't done the Backstory Bridge from July yet, listen to this episode first (and do the mini-exercise inside), THEN head over to Heartbeat to take those results right into your Backstory Bridge.
