I won’t do the show until I get enough replies, so you’ll *have* to do it if you want to find out why. I want you to dscribe someone’s face. And I want you to make it romantic. It can be first or third person, as detailed as you like or as general as you wish to make it, but I want you to convey a sense of attraction in your description. After all, that’s what we’r talking about. In the next show, we’ll talk all about your WIP and you. Naming your baby and letting go. Until next time, stay in the mood. Listen to the show
