âPut your feet on the floor, Karen. Just get to the sink.â
A low level criminal, barely catching a glance of a red, panicking.
Criminal 1: quick, do you prefer to be humilated, beaten up to coma, or dead?
The newbie criminal 2: um, ... humilated?
*daredevil is seen*
Criminal 1: tough luck, prepare for coma, kid.

How to Drink Water When There Is Wine
by Barbara Kingsolver
How to stay at this desk when the sun is barefooting cartwheels over the grass â
How to step carefully on the path that begs for the fleet unfettered gait of a deer â
How to go home again when the wood thrush is promising the drunk liquid bliss of dusk â
How to resist the kiss, the body forbidden that plucks the long vibrating string of want â
How to drink water when there is wine â
Once I knew all these brick-shaped things, and how they protract the striving and virtuous life.
Now I have lived long and I know better.

How did you get so good at writing??? Did you take classes? I feel like you should get paid all the money for this! (I subscribe to your website!)
after i dropped out of high school i found a torrent of like 5GB of OCRd romance novels and i read like 3 romance novels a day for a while
read enough romance novels and you will realize that they live or die entirely on technical skill. if you are new to romance novels then even bad ones can dazzle you with novelty but by the time you are on your 30th historical fake engagement between a bluestocking and a rakish duke you can grade them and you know when they've failed. when two books have what should be the same main characters hitting the same plot beats, but one of those books is delightful and the other fucking sucks, you learn some things. some books are bad and still delightful. other books are good but they just don't hit. you start to see the seams in the bad ones. 'oh, this is a weird out of character moment because she wanted to have the kabedon moment and didn't know how to get there'. 'she didn't want the ust to end but couldn't think of a better reason than this deus ex cockblock.' that kind of thing.
you could probably do this with other genres but i like romance because the plot is two people fall in love. that's it. everything else is set dressing. if you can figure out how to make that work you can carry it over into whatever other genre you feel like. mysteries would give you a different skillset around plotting that i don't have.
anyway after that i wrote a lot.
i said it in my original tags but i want to talk out of my ass and say that one place that a lot of current romantasy falls short for me is that it ends up being written by people who mostly read other romantasy without going back to the original genres of romance and fantasy. it's like a 'learn the rules before you can break them' kind of thing. you have all these magical macguffins to hit the tropes but can you make me believe that these characters have chemistry without that? is there chemistry, or did you tell me they're fated mates and now i'm supposed to assume this fight is sexy? does the fantasy aspect exist for anything aside from the magical macguffins? i'm not going to throw stones from inside my house made of worldbuilding designed to make all my fetishes happen, but the really fun part is when the lore spins out of control and you end up really going in depth on linguistic anthropology things that aren't relevant to the makeouts.
and the other thing is that you can't really sub in fanfic for this. plenty of fanfic takes characters from other genres and plops them into romance, but it's not the same. a good romance novel says, "here are two characters. you may know their archetypes, but you don't know them. you are going to get to know them, and you are going to love them, and you are going to want them to love each other, and when they love each other you are going to be happy for them". i love a rakish duke. when a man who's never had to do his own laundry is slutty as fuck that's my shit. but you still have to make me like him. you can take that archetype and make a guy who fucking sucks. most fanfic will not impart to you any knowledge about how to make a reader like a guy from scratch. you already know that guy. that's the whole point. fanfic with as much character building as an original work is the exception, not the rule.
the whole reason i get catty about fics that just make a different guy is that... you've made a different guy. i don't know who this guy is and i don't like him, and you haven't bothered trying to make me like him, because you slapped another guy's nametag on him like a cheat code. it's cool if you did make me like this new guy, but why is he wearing that other guy's nametag if no other aspect of him is present?
read the genres you want to write, obviously, but there's a reason the shitty comphet romantic subplot is a cliche. it's because romance is its own skillset, and if you try to fit romance in your thriller when you only read thrillers it's probably going to be the weakest part. if you want an ensemble cast then chemistry between characters is important regardless of whether they're going to fuck about it.
#this is also what i call the Star Wars Problem (although: wide category lol)#but i mean specifically the thing where george lucas watched a BUNCH of westerns and samurai films and ww2 flying ace films#and then made a space movie ABOUT high points in those other story forms#because he knew those pulp genres inside out and knew what bits he needed to hit in RAF Dambusters pulp when he added laser swords#or in western saloon showdowns when he added spaceships#but then you fast-forward a few decades and people are making star wars movies ABOUT other star wars movies#and like not many of those scenes are going to hit that way - they just wont have the chance#theyâll be a copy of a copy and the emotion is going to degrade like the worlds crustiest reformatted ocr PDF#or a xerox of a xerox of a xerox#theyâve ceased to be about the feeling generated by the Form and have become simply the Form in isolation (via harrietvane)
Charlie Cox and Deborah Ann Woll at MCM Birmininghan talk about how characters like Bullseye have effected Matt and Karenâs relationship, and how Wilson Bethel fell asleep on set while handcuffed to the bed in 2x05
WOLL: I think Matt obviously has some very clear, boundaries that he doesn't cross and I think Karen is in a more gray space and Frank pulls her in one direction and I think the existence of Bullseye pulls her further in that direction. So, you know, she's not as ideological on some level. She sort of feels like, âhey, if we could get rid of some of these bad guys that really make our lives a lot easierâ and I think, one of my favorite scenes from from season two is when, I [Karen] attempt to kill him [Dex] and Matt stops me [Karen] and there is that moment of like why do you keep picking these these villains over the people who love you and care about you? And I think that's a really difficult thing for Karen to understand. He's not picking them, he's picking you. Right, in her mind she's thinking âyou're perpetuating this thingâ but in his mind he's saying âI'm picking your soulâ.
COX: And then a non-serious fun anecdote is the scene where Debra and I discuss that stuff, Karen and Matt discuss that stuff and Bullseye is passed out on the bed. Wilson fell asleep in that scene and woke up in the middle of one of the takes.
WOLL: He goes [intimates Wilson Bethel jumping awake and moves forward] âGasp!â
COX: So we're having a really serious conversation. We're in, I think we're in my close-up, you know, and he's just been lying there quietly just doing his job and then at some point he drifted off and he's handcuffed. He's handcuffed. So in the middle of the scene suddenly he goes and it goes clang clang clang and then he looks around and then he went straight back to sleep in the middle of a scene.
WOLL: Now you're talking about bloopers. [Talking to the host] Yeah, that would be the blooper.
