1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 It's our Valentine's Day special! Our friend Ana joins us again to discuss writing romance (particularly in genres other than romance). We get Ana's insights on how romance can absolutely gut a character, how to balance a romantic subplot with the main plot, and whether it's possible to write a blank-slate love interest. And remember: don't skimp on dessert! You can find Ana's writing in the anthology Sharp &amp;amp; Sugar Tooth: Women Up To No Good edited by Octavia Cade.
