| 4/9/25 | Starting Off Wobbly: Why First Chapters Are So Hard | We’re back—and just a little too excited about it. In this giddy return to the pod, Jenna reads the first chapter of Heather's current WIP, featuring Mason and Ronnie, two characters with too much communication and a whole lot of tension. Vicky brings the critique, and together we dive into why first chapters are so dang hard to get right. Spoiler: nobody’s first draft is sacred. Join us as we navigate awkward openings, info-dump avoidance, and the very real struggle of finding your voice on page one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | — | ||||||
| 3/26/25 | Enemies, Tension, and a Slow Burn Done Right | In this episode of Kissing Books Critique, we dive into the art of the slow burn—how to build tension, keep characters at odds, and make every stolen glance count. We tackle passive voice, repetition, and the sneaky ways setting (or lack of it) can impact a scene. Plus, a broody hero fights his feelings, a teasing heroine turns up the heat, and Jenna finally hits her storytelling groove. But can we resist the urge to overanalyze every single word?

| 3/12/25 | Revisions, Rainstorms, and One Charismatic Critiquer | Deadlines are closing in, but that doesn’t stop us from diving deep into revisions, refining character depth, and debating the logistics of stormy bar scenes. In this episode of Kissing Books Critique, we analyze pacing, emotional resonance, and the fine line between evocative and overwrought prose—while also getting delightfully derailed by demanding cats, unexpected movie comparisons, and the eternal struggle of describing lace. Plus, Vicki’s charisma takes center stage, whether she’s ready or not. Join the chaos, sharpen your craft, and subscribe now! Follow us on Facebook at Kissing Books Critique! Hosted on Acast.

| 2/12/25 | The Smutty Bits | We’re back, just in time for Valentine’s Day—and things are heating up! Love them, hate them, or struggle to write them, love scenes are the heart (and heat) of romance, and for the next three episodes, we’re pulling back the covers to critique what makes them sizzle—or fizzle.As Pink would say, "Got me lit like a candlestick"—that’s the goal!

| 4/16/24 | Avoid White Room Syndrome | Beats v. stage direction. Setting, setting, setting! Goals, motivation and emotions. Texts being an awesome narrative tool.We made a couple of references to books this episode. The first was Dwight V. Swain's Techniques of the Selling Author. Mr. Swain discusses scene-sequel and motivation-reaction units. Excellent book despite being pretty dang old. The other book was Lisa Hall-Wilson's Method Acting For Writers: Learn Deep Point Of View Using Emotional Layers, which discusses, remarkably enough, deep point of view.
