For this episode, it was Alaine's turn to provide some tips for (steamy) romance authors, including: deciding on a trope; build up to love; limit the sex; use a slow burn; and incorporating a happily ever after ending in the story (0:46). The episode's Writing Tip has the authors taking a look at subtext - what it is good for and when you should think about it in your own writing (5:05). In the Rules to Write by Alaine attacks the idea of write what you know and S. C. Morgan gives his particular take on the subject. (9:28). #2DP #ask2DP
