Designed with a delicate wind in mind,
He simply fans above her slight champaign,
To witness a view of her compass weaving.
Stronger than anticipated, she sways,
Fawning into undeniable forces,
Feeling luxuriously windswept.

Wow. I bet you’re doing just fine. I’ve read your love poems. They’re gorgeous. Only advice is don’t be afraid of a romance novel. Fall in…I say. How I approach mine, any way. I love how easy it can be to fall in love when you can control the characters to some degree. Live out fantasies and dreams while your characters reap the benefits. The reading is going well. I’ve missed a lot of posts. I enjoy educating myself on how to be a better writer, but I also have to catch up on all those love poets who’s work I envy a bit. It always shocks me, ya know? Leaves me wishing I’d thought of them first. Nothing better than a creative mind. 🙂

This is true. I’ve been writing so much I haven’t had time to read many posts either. I feel bad or not keeping up as much.
I didn’t know you wrote romance novels. Ah, you always surprise each time we talk. I bet they’re exciting. That was good advice you have.
I hope it’s gorgeous. If I could make it anywhere as beautiful as you, I’d be on the right track ;).
The idea of falling in sounds nice. I like that concept. Just open up and fall in. I got it. Thanks, Aud 🙂
I like creative minds, too. Just one of the reasons why I like you so much. But you’re a lot more than just a creative mind.
I’ll have to think on my fantasies and dreams though. But again, thank you. I like your advice. You’re a smart woman.

Naw. Seriously. .. I know your poems are great, so the novel will be too.
Yes, its best to take that approach and then someone near by can enjoy the benefits, right. You’re welcome.
