Emotional stress is manna for a romance. The HEA is sweet only if the hero and heroine have had to suffer for it.
Each character has his or her unique response to emotional stress, just like everyone we know. Some yell. Others cry.
Believable development and consistency of reaction is what I strive for.
Unique responses are what make our characters interesting. I'd love to hear how you make your characters' emotional development believable.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteGood post, and true, if character's are not made to suffer the romantic emotional pull is lost.
Mine's even briefer! ;)
