superhero_muses --What emotion do you most want readers to feel while reading your current WiP, and how are you crafting scenes to evoke it?
It's a romance, so I think basically... satisfaction? I think one of the main goals of a genre romance is to help people suspend their disbelief long enough to enjoy the tension while never being deeply worried they won't get a happy-ever-after ending. So to take the reader on a ride that has a clear set destination (a happy clinch) but a fair amount of uncertainty on the way. It can be a difficult balance!
What emotion are you aiming to lead your readers to right now?
