Today at Romance University, we're talking about what must happen between page one and the first meeting of the hero and heroine. And what must not happen! Come join us!
That's really good, Theresa. Love the way you explain the core belief.
Yes, Wes, go Dawgs! It's so funny hearing them described as "blue-collar" and "physical" and "tough." They always used to be sort of the effete team that won because they made all their free throws and made very intricate passes. An intellectual team. Now they're "muscular".
They sure manhandled Wisconsin. It's weird seeing that 7 footer afraid to charge for the basket because there's some little guard standing in the way.
If you have an editing question you'd like us to address, feel free to send it to rasley at gmail dot com. We like reader questions because they save us from having to think up post topics on our own. ;)

Our Promise to Authors
Every day we work with writers to shape their manuscripts for publication. We also evaluate submissions, read our friends’ pages, give second opinions to other editors -- in short, we confront a whole lot of manuscript pages for a whole lot of reasons. But here’s what we don’t do. We don’t -- and we never will -- pull examples directly from any of these manuscripts. The editor-author relationship depends on mutual trust and respect, and we won’t ever compromise that. We might get ideas for blog posts in the course of our interaction with writers and manuscripts, but all examples are ours, with the occasional exception of literary sources.
