Jeannie Lin Presents Action Scenes & Love Scenes
$10 for non-members. Includes Recording!
You’ve been looking forward to this moment. It’s the scene you’ve been dying to put on the page, but when it’s time to get it down, the writing just doesn’t deliver the excitement that’s in your heart and in your head.
Whether it be that exciting rooftop duel or the long-awaited moment your characters finally kiss, action scenes and love scenes share many of the same mechanics and pitfalls. This workshop looks at both together to dive into and dissect the craft of making physical love scenes and action scenes more heart-pounding and heart-wrenching on the page.
Jeannie Lin started writing in 2005 while she was teaching high school. After a long journey through rejections and contests and revisions, her manuscript, Butterfly Swords, won the 2009 Golden Heart® award for historical romance. Her first two books have received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly and Library Journal and her second novel, The Dragon and the Pearl, was listed as one of Library Journal’s Best Romances of 2011.
Her stories are inspired by her love of adventure, history, and fantasy in both western and Asian traditions. From an early age she was fascinated by legends of King Arthur and the fantasy of Lord of the Rings as well as the Chinese wuxia (martial arts) fiction. As a result, she writes heroic characters in epic situations while interweaving a strong romance to make larger than life characters human.
